Betterment. I don't do individual stocks anymore. I still have some because they pay out nice dividends or it's just not worth selling them. But I've been very happy with Betterment. It's definitely fire and forget.

Real estate, rental apartments. Depending on where you live and work, there probably are incentives that will assist your capital growth if you plan on 5-10 year horizon.

I've seen that around a few places. Whats the advantage of Betterment over just buying a Vanguard S&P 500 ETF?
