My 3 Favorite Vanguard ETFs to Buy Right Now

The article recommends three Vanguard ETFs for a diversified portfolio: VTI (Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF) as the core foundation providing comprehensive U.S. stock market exposure including mid and small-caps; VIG (Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF) for conservative growth focused on dividend-paying companies with 10+ years of consecutive dividend growth; and VONG (Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF) as the aggressive growth component emphasizing high total return potential. Together, these ETFs provide a balanced approach to long-term investing, though the author notes they should be supplemented with small-cap, international, and bond exposure.
