I'm tired of the stress and constant monitoring of individual stock investments. I want to just put my money into index funds so that it can grow without having to worry about it all disappearing overnight.
However I have almost no idea how to buy them or where to buy them from. I also have no idea what makes a index fund better or worse than another one.
Unlike individual stocks I can't just look up how the company is doing since index funds are technically mutual funds and have hundreds of stocks.
So far the only one that has been recommended for me is the index fund by Vanguard since they apparently don't charge fees or something along those lines.
Can anyone here give me a quick crash course and recommend some easily digestible links?
