Market. I think 10 year profit on market cost basis will outpace real estate.

Thanks all. For everyone saying put it in the market, do you generally mean index funds?

Yes. Investing in a single stock is gambling.

Still think we are going much lower here in bitcoin. Last couple of trades were stop outs. That doesn't change the trend or the fact that we are spending more time in lower ranges. My revised target is $8564 as long as this setup holds.

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?

How concerned are you about inflation? We have 70% savings rate and 50% of our expenses are housing / utilities of which the largest part is rent which is a fixed contract (no CPI escalation, no automatic increases, paying same rent for 4 years). No car as we are living in a large city. So if I look at the components of CPI and what’s rising I am feeling pretty „good“ about it. The one thing I am „worried“ is asset inflation but obviously that benefits me directly. What am I missing?
