<prompt> Human: Ive been reading this sub for months, and Im interested in getting started with investing. I consistently see Vanguard listed on here as a good option, however it looks like most of their investment options require at least a 3,000 minimum. Unfortunately I only have 1,000 to invest right now, Im wondering if there are any Vanguard funds you would recommend that are an option with that small of an initial investment. For clarification, this is not an IRA or a 401K.  <response>: Charles schwab has a bunch of cheap ETFs minimum investment of 1 share and mutual funds 100 minimum to open.
