My husband and I are both working full time in a high COL city but manage to have about $2,000-$2,500/month after all expenses and our company's minimum 401(k) contributions to receive a full match. Because of our jobs, we're both prohibited by our employers from investing in individual stocks, bonds, or REITs. Should we just pour what we can into diversified ETFs and let them grow over the years?
Updated for more context: We're 23 (me) and 25 (him). We have no fear of losing all the principal we invest at our current age and don't have a "goal" retirement age. In our current fields, it is not uncommon to have raises of 5-10% annually, all of which we intend to add to our investments.
