Expect that I will be receiving a decent year-end bonus. Any recommendations on where I should invest it? Already have an emergency fund in HYSA and have done investments in Vanguard ETF in the past. Thank you for the advise!

Maybe something in China tech. With the trade war shock China got its butt nipped and now they ramping up self sufficiency in tech. Thats how it starts, but the result isn’t gonna be self sufficiency but rather a competitor to US firms in the global market.

Your investment plan shouldn't really change when you come into a bit of a money. Keep on ploughing the extra funds into low cost, broad market based funds (index/ETF).

If you're looking for ideas to speculate on, well that's a different thing altogether.

Hey all! I’m 30 years old. About to close on a house with a 5.75% fixed 30 yr mortgage. If you were me and your goal was to maximize your net worth by retirement, would you put a few thousand dollars extra into paying down the house faster or invest that extra money in the market? The 5.75% doesn’t feel that low but also not crazy high so I’m torn. Thoughts? 🙏

- about $500 on utilities and subscriptions

- about $2k on food and etc.
My saving goals is around $3k so been trying to adjust my monthly spending.
