An Honest Review After Dollar-Cost Averaging into ETFs for a Year

Since around this time last year, I've been putting 500,000 won a month into an S&P 500-tracking ETF. It's been 12 months now, and the valuation is up about 14% compared with the principal.

Honestly, it's not fun. Every time I see the news it shakes me up, and since all I do is set up an automatic transfer once a month, there's nothing else to do. When a friend tells me he made 300,000 won in a day day-trading individual stocks, I get tempted, but he never talks about his losses, so I've decided to just ignore it.

The hardest part seems to be "doing nothing." After a year, I think that's the hardest part.
