Any ideas on how to handle my fear of going in just when market is so high and might drop a lot?

Yeah. Hold your nose and dive in.
Look at a long-term chart of the S&P500. Just about every place you put your finger, it was higher than it was in the past. And lower than it was in the future.

I passed up buying 1 share of BRK because it seemed stupid to pay $2000 for a single share of some company that was at its all-time high. That share would not be BRK-A and worth $625,700
