Rant: Not checking fees on my first ETF was a huge mistake
Honestly, I bought into a popular ETF without looking at the expense ratio because everyone was talking about it. Tbh, after a year, I realized it was charging almost 1% yearly, which ate into my gains big time. Ngl, I switched to a similar ETF with a 0.03% fee and saved hundreds already. Beginners, always read the fine print on costs before you invest.
