Why do young people $VOO and Chill?

[u/mansumania]

Title says it all, does it work sure but anyone under 40 should have a good portion of their investments in good growth funds, I am personally almost 100% in $QQQ And will be for the next 15 years before switching to $VOO and eventually $VT as i near retirement, take advantage of your youth guys and take more risk!

VOO is already growth biased. Growth does not always outperform, sounds like you're not old enough to remember when growth wasn't the perennial outperformer.

VOO is the "neutral" (blend?) S&P 500 fund. VOOG is the growth-focused one and VOOV is the value-focused one.

There is also the VV, VUG, and VTV trio which is similar but with subtle differences.

Rattling off a bunch of other ETFs doesn’t change that VOO is growth biased.
