| 0:00.0 | All right. The question is, when investing for retirement, how do the retirement index |
| 0:12.8 | plans, such as the 2060 retirement, typically work? I think that they're referring to target |
| 0:19.2 | date index funds. So could you kind of give a baseline of how those work for someone |
| 0:23.8 | who's new to that? |
| 0:24.8 | Yeah, that's a great question because a lot of people, I know I get frustrated when I watch |
| 0:28.6 | a lot of the content out there, whether it's YouTube, TikTok, and people are like, just |
| 0:33.0 | start investing. You're like, well, how? What do I want to do? I don't want to because |
| 0:36.0 | I remember my first investment. It went a good one. I bought a B-share. They had a bunch |

| 1:20.5 | United States companies, the S&P 500, it performs like 90 plus percent of them. So why try to beat |
| 1:27.4 | it if you can just join it? And there's a lot of reasons for that. Index funds have low internal |
| 1:32.3 | expenses that are practically free. They don't have the good providers like Fidelity, Vanguard, |
| 1:38.1 | and Charles Schwab, the biggest providers. I just want you to do your own due diligence. They |
| 1:41.9 | don't have commissions on there. They have low turnover. So the taxes that they just create |
| 1:48.2 | from income is not a big deal. But it's still you have to figure out what's the proper mix |
