Hi all, I'm a recent college hire and wanted some tips on investing, what are some ways you have invested and what value have you seen throughout the years? (Ex: real estate, mutual funds, 401k).

401k to company match. Then max your IRA. The remaining money up to you. Max 401k if you don't see yourself buying a house anytime soon. Put in stable investments like index funds or etfs if you want to buy house soon. Dump all money in penny stocks of you want a small chance to ball out or a big chance to not have a home.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
