I am finally learning about investing, seems ETFs are highly recommended, especially the SP500 from Vanguard. I have read that VTI/VOO has similar growth rates, but it seems like VOO has grown faster in a shorter period of time. Perhaps I calculated it wrong, but it looks like they both grew around 250%, but VOO did it in 8 years, while VTI did that in 17 years. And some also recommend international stock ETFs, but it looks like they haven't grown that much since inception. For example VXUS started at $49 and is now only $51. If I just look at those two values, it looks almost like very minor growth for the past 7 years, while VOO has increased by around $150 in a similar time period. Is there more factors to consider?
I'm looking at whether to choose VOO or VTI for the bulk of the ETFs. And then maybe a little of international. Would going 100% into VOO or VTI be fine? The goal is to hold the ETFs and continuing to add to them for the next 20-30 years.
