Episode 3350:

Ramit Sethi breaks down dollar-cost averaging as a smart way to invest consistently over time without trying to time the market. He explains how this strategy can protect against volatility, while also comparing it to lump-sum investing, which often yields higher returns, but not without emotional trade-offs. Sethi also provides a practical guide for building an index fund portfolio from scratch, even on a limited budget.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/blog/dollar-cost-averaging/

Quotes to ponder:

"Investing isn’t a race, you don’t need a perfect asset allocation tomorrow."

“Your asset allocation determines how much money you invest in different areas.”

“Spend less than you make and invest the difference.”
