The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yes, absolutely, yes. Nothing beats tax deferred compounding in an S&P 500 ETF, especially when you're at that age.


I agree. However I do have some pause at the moment, as many folks are worried about the excessive concentration and high valuation.
One could also pick an SP500 equal weight, or split between the two.
For one of my daughters, I recommended RSP and a small cap growth index VBK.
Thinking about changing that to a mix of VOO, RSP, VBK, and the cap-weighted SP500 may continue to outperform for 10 more years, who knows.

It seems less and less folks have access to regular company sponsored 401K's these days.
