This is what I do in my 401k and I’ve had what I consider great returns.

25% Blue Chip Growth Index Fund

50% S&P 500 Index Fund

Consider real estate syndications … cash arrives monthly and principal and appreciation returned after investment term. Much more predictable than the market. Happy to put you in touch with a few people and you can do your due diligence. Happy TG

Is this a good time to get in the market? Seems like it’s bubbling in the face of uncertainty for the time being. Lol

People have been saying that for literally years. Could see a huge drop next month or not. How long do you wait for that unknown time? If you do invest, don't dump all your money in at once. Put in X amount each week or month so you're doing that whole time cost thing. And of course make sure you've got your emergency fund already covered and your other retirement vehicles maxed out.

As has been said in like every other post here, time in the market beats timing the market.

Get S&P 500 index fund

3-fund portfolio is a decent strategy

Curious for some advice…

I currently have a Cap One Venture card. I have had it for a couple of years now but I am interested in upgrading to a Venture X card.

No promotion has been offered to me to upgrade my existing Venture card to a Venture X card.

Should I wait until that promotion is offered to me? Or would it be dumb to apply for a Venture X card separately and a) hold both cards or b) close out the original Venture card.
