Unless your 20 year old is gaining some windfall wealth, DCA is essentially the same thing (after an initial full investment, which I thought was fairly self-evident from context, but apparently not). Budget how much you have & invest it regularly. Setting a regular deposit of a fixed amount will - for 99%+ of people - result in them investing more than telling them to keep putting in as much as they can spare.
It’s more about their initial sum of money which there was no mention about. It doesn’t take a windfall for a 20 year old with little to no expenses to build a nice little sum of cash

Ok so she should lump sum invest the money as she receives it. Thanks.
 
SoFi is a pretty good all-in-one platform for a beginner. I like NTSX for single-fund investing.
