I was curious about what MJ and you guys think about Bogleheads' approach to investing.

From the page Getting started - Bogleheads, this is what it preaches:

Prepare to invest:
  • Live below your means
  • Develop a workable plan
  • Never bear too much or too little risk
  • Invest early and often
Create a portfolio:
  • Diversify
  • Invest with simplicity
  • Use index funds where possible
  • Minimize costs
  • Minimize taxes
Maintain discipline:
  • Never try to time the market
  • Stay the course[note 1]


Yes, it reminds me of the slowlane. But if you already had a business making a lot of money, you'd find yourself wondering where to invest that money (what MJ called money system, IIRC).
I always see the S&P 500 recommended, but I am also looking at World ETFs such as the All-Words UCITS ETF that almost tracks the entire economy.

If not investing in that, what do you invest in? Real estate? Bonds? There aren't many options when I think about it.
