Starting to invest with Vanguard

I've read many topics here regarding the specific funds, so I think I'm good to go with that. Should I start with the $1,000 minimum investment funds, and once I get enough in these accounts transfer ALL of the balances over to the $3,000 minimum investment funds, and on up to Admiral shares from there? Or do I need to keep some or all of my balances in the lower minimum investment funds, and just save up to buy into the higher investment funds separately?
Would it be setting me back by selling once my balances are so high and buying into other funds that I wouldn't have been able to from the start?

A LOT of variables here.
For instance, how long are we talking you potientially being in the 1000 dollar fund before being able to "graduate" to another one.
Making a LOT of assumptions here, but given what you have said, I would recommend you just throwing money into STAR and make it your core holding and build form that.

First question is this a tax deferred account or taxable?

I've never invested so I'm curious as to how long it takes to turn 1k into 3k?

I'm looking at putting in around $250 to $500 a month, so less than a year. This would be a Roth IRA.

I just put it in the target retirement fund until I had enough to break it down in to other equities.

Even then, there's really no need to. Vanguard's target date funds are tough to beat.

You are out-thinking this...just drop your money into an index fund that mirrors the US stock market and let it rise as the economy grows.

So once I save the minimum amount required to invest, drop it in and then save up for another one until I have a few? Then divide up my monthly contributions between these funds after that ?
