So I'm a recent college grad and wanted to prep for my future retirement. A few days ago, I opened a Roth IRA account at Vanguard to start my journey. I read that the Roth IRA was the best option for me since I'm an aspiring doctor. I wasn't able to open a mutual fund account at Vanguard because I don't have $3000 yet, but it's something I plan to do. So here are my questions:
1. Am I on the right track so far for someone of this situation? I know I'll have to open a 401K, but I haven't been employed at a place where employers match and the only position I've held is student tutor. Are there any accounts I should open at this time for someone in my position?
2. I plan to just buy a few shares of VTI once I accumulate funds, and will hold these for the long term and reinvest the dividends. Is there something else I should rather be doing to give me the best possible financial outcomes?
3. What are some of the most useful WCI I should read at the moment? I've read about ETF vs mutual funds because those are what seems relevant to my situation at the moment, but any suggestions and advice is greatly appreciated. No one in my family or relatives know anything about retirement, so it's a bit scary to pursue myself, but I'm looking forward to any responses if I get any. Thanks a million for your time!!!
