# Those who stick to dollar-cost averaging are quietly widening the gap with the market

Ordinary people who consistently outperform the market are actually doing the same "seemingly simple but hardest to stick with" thing—**dollar-cost averaging (DCA)**.

Warren Buffett was once asked: How should someone in their 30s, with no time to research stocks, living only on a salary, invest? He replied with just one sentence: **Put your money regularly into a low-cost S&P 500 index fund, and then keep working hard**.

**The charm of DCA** lies right here: no need to time the market, no need to watch the screen constantly; use time and discipline to turn market volatility into long-term compound interest. Simple, worry-free, easy to stick with—more and more people rely on it to participate in the US stock market.
