When you invest in an index fund, you're essentially buying a basket of stocks that represents a broad market or theme. "That book makes a really good case for index funds." They own the Vanguard 500 Index Fund Admiral Shares Fund (VFIAX), the Vanguard Information Technology Index Fund ETF (ETF, VGT), and the Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF (ETF, FTEC). Note that ETFs, like index funds, offer an easy way to diversify and bundle several securities into one investment. Since index funds are passively managed, they typically have lower costs than actively managed funds — and, historically, they outperform active funds.

Souffrant set out to save enough so they could cover one year's worth of expenses between Woody's salary and her savings. How to build your own 'F you fund' in 2 stepsAnyone can start an "F you fund" like Soufrrant and Shah did to create more options for themselves. Souffrant kept hers in a high-yield savings account. That way, the money was still accessible but earning more interest than it would if it was sitting in a traditional savings account. If your number is $200 per month, have that amount lifted from your checking account and deposited into your "F you account" each month.

When Jamila Souffrant found out she was pregnant with her third kid, she was working a full-time corporate job while building her financial freedom blog and brand. To set herself up to walk away from corporate America, Souffrant started ramping up her "FU fund," which she describes as "an emergency savings fund on crack." Souffrant set out to save enough where they could cover one year's worth of expenses between Woody's salary and her FU fund. AdvertisementFor about a year, Souffrant decreased her contributions to her retirement savings and investment account to beef up her FU fund, which she kept in a high-yield savings account. Souffrant encourages anyone who is pursuing financial independence to build an FU fund.
