If you think you need to earn a certain amount of money or hit a particular age to start investing, think again. There are plenty of options for new investors, including index funds.
Index investing was created by Jack Bogle, founder of Vanguard, in 1975 and has become the most popular passive income strategy when it comes to investing in the stock market. Wall Street history aside, it’s important to know this: index funds are actually pretty easy and don't require a lot of money to get started. They're designed to replace a human at the helm while attempting to beat the market and keep your costs as an investor to a minimum.
