Thinking to shift my funds out of robo-advisors to actually picking the ETFs myself. Should I still be following the ETFs available in robo-advisors? Or what should I be buying for ETFs?

Undoubtedly this is an excellent article, I gained a lot of knowledge after reading good luck. The theme of the blog is excellent, there is almost everything to read. thank! snake io

Barrilicious,understand where you are coming from. Again, it's the fees. U compare buying snp500 from Endowus vs via brokerage you will see the diff. Roboadvisors charge about 0.5% fees. For a 100k, that will mean $500 per year just by parking there. If you buy vanguard funds such as VOO, VTI, VEU or VXUS, you will realise a world of a difference as you let your money compound through the years.
