I know basically nothing about investing, but I've recently increased my Roth 401k contribution to 15% with a 5% match and I'm wondering if I should change the funds that I am contributing to. I've read several times that MMM suggests Vanguard index funds. The name he uses is not an option with my 401k program (I think VFINX), but I found one that I think may be similar. It is called VIF equity index. Anyone know if this is basically the same thing? Sorry if this is a ridiculous question, like I said, I've never payed attention to what my 401k was doing before.
Also wondering if the Roth 401k is a good choice or if I should start contributing to a traditional 401 instead. We are young, 26 and 29 so we are expecting to be earning more in the future than we are now.
