I know there are a lot of threads like this but I figured I'd make my own.
All debt is paid off. Thinking of setting up a Vanguard ETF account. Looking at a lot of their offerings everything is at all-time highs in terms of performance since inception. Is it still a good idea to invest in those right now or wait for a pullback?
Any particular recommendations for specific ETFs if I go this route?
Thanks in advance.

Look at the average returns since inception. Yeah, most are upwards of 20% over the past year, but look at the average since they started the fund. The ones that I am in are 8% since inception and that is over 10+ yrs.

Glad I re-read "a car"
I was about to say buy another vehicle or you won't be making money much longer.
I'm in various Vanguard ETFs
VTI
VEA
VWO
VSS
VNQ
BND
You can do it simpler but I wanted to "split" the underlying assets up so I could more accurately put money into assets that are falling, etc. for DCA purposes.
