If you had $5,000 to invest at 26 what would you do?

I'm curious what people would do if they were starting with $5,000 at age 25 and investing for the long term.

What would you buy and why?

I'm especially interested in:

• ETFs!!
• Index funds
• Individual stocks
• Any portfolio allocations you'd recommend

If you had to invest the full $5,000 today and leave it invested for 20+ years, what would your portfolio look like and how would you build it over time?
