I am personally holding cash currently, but I am pretty well seasoned and have been playing options.

If you are more inexperienced, I would recommend putting cash in SPY or VOO slowly, a certain $ each month.

Lately market has been overbought, and as you saw today there is some uncertainty where stocks go from here.

If you invest a small amount each month, you will catch the highs and the lows and will average your cost over time.

Are there any personal brokerage platforms that allow you to allocate a % of future contributions to select funds/stocks? For example, if I contribute $1000 each month and want 50% to go to VTI and 50% to VOO, the brokerage will automatically make that allocation when I deposit the funds.

If we stay put (we’re in a meh city) we could make $800K with lower COL so we’d keep saving $250k/year. Is it dumb to move back? I miss friends/family/the city but seems like it’s smart to stay put & bank money now. WWYD?
