yes.

invest by dollar cost averaging your contributions into a few, no more than a handful, of index funds. sit back and let the money grow. You will be rich.

if you want to fuss with your investment, you can review your investments occasionally, but no more than twice a year.

“dollar cost averaging “is just a fancy way of saying put the same amount regularly to your investment vehicles.
