Hi everyone, so I was looking for some ideas to start growing some money for mid-term time frames. Although I have no plans to do so right now, in 5 or 10 years, I may want to get married, or buy a house, and so I wanted to start putting away money right now. I just started a new job, and I am matching and exceeding my employers 403b match. I also have an emergency fund that would not cover 6 months expenses at current spending levels, but in a true emergency the costs could be scaled down, and would be covered. I intend on continuing to contribute to it until it is at least twice as big as it is now, but it's no longer a pressing need. As for debts, I have to still pay off my car and student loans, but the monthly payment for each is less than 1/20th of my take home pay and I think the money would better serve me growing somewhere else. I was thinking of going into an index fund with vanguard or fidelity, but I have no idea where to start or if its a good idea, so any help is greatly appreciated!
