I'm 30, and I earn 130k per year and have 40k in savings. I own a condo which my parents helped fund down payment for and I have been paying the mortgage on it. What should my next set of investment goals be?

Also, how do people pay their parents back with the down payment they help with? How soon and at what interest if any?

Follow this for general guideline. If you’re paying them back, I’d say do it at like a 2% interest rate which is higher than what they’d get in a savings account but less than you’d pay a mortgage company
