ETF A-Z — the tool to automate the habit
The same small habit from the mindset page — automated, monthly, by the simplest possible tool.
What — what is an ETF?
Exchange-Traded Fund. A basket of stocks or bonds, traded on an exchange like a single stock.
Why — why ETF
Lower cost, broader diversification, less time. Stock picking is expensive in fees, attention and tax.
"Automate it once and the system saves you the next thousand decisions."
