Steps:

  1. Set up a brokerage account. Connect your bank account to the brokerage.
  2. Transfer money in by USD to your brokerage account.
  3. Buy VWRA in a lump sum every time you transfer money in. Try to do this once you’ve accumulated at least $1,000 to minimize trading commission costs.

That’s about it to get you started.

Note if you’re in the UK, buy VWRP with GBP, if you’re in the EU, buy VWCE with Euros.
