    I think you missed three facts that I keep trying to hammer home.

    1. I genuinely don’t care enough to do research and spend time watching the markets. I’m fortunate to have more money than time these days so $750 is worth vastly less than me doing it myself.
    2. It’s safer. This is a huge % of my life savings were talking about. I don’t trust myself to do it.
    3. I don’t care. At all. In any capacity.

      I can understand it, and respect your decision. At that point when we’re talking about such amounts, it’s better to offload this mental stress to a reputable company, even if it means a bit lower interest rates

      The main thing to get out of this is that you’re investing and frankly, it’s pretty much all that matter

          I experienced something kind of similar I guess. When I learned about this I was excited, but even though everything seems fine, there’s still this part of me that is like “what if I’m forgetting or fucking up something? I don’t want to lose my money, that’s a lot”
