I have always been interested in investing my money so that I can get a better return on my money than the banks can give me. I think that investing in stocks would definitely help me to make sure that I will be able to have a good retirement in the future so that I will be able to retire earlier with more money in my retirement. Like you mentioned, the S&P 500 has one of the most accurate of the market out there so it is something that you can trust as something to go off of.
