What does your current financial situation look like? Do you have an emergency fund and all tax-advantaged accounts maxed out? Any high interest debt or big purchases coming up? I would not start the things you've mentioned until those are covered.

If you've taken care of the above, I'd put the majority into an index fund like VTI, with a smaller portion into crypto (mainly BTC and ETH). Feel free to DM if you need a referral to coinbase or voyager and we both get some free BTC. Crypto is a very volatile space so I wouldn't recommend tossing all your money into it. As for stocks, you can choose some if you like, but I'd encourage you to start with index funds and read up on how many people beat the market in the long run.

Feeling grateful & proud as I reached my goal ($50K by 25) 5 months early. But I can’t help feeling a bit overwhelmed. In the lifelong scheme of things, $50K doesn’t seem like much. I worked really hard and sacrificed a lot (including mental health) to get to this but it seems a little tiring knowing I still have so long to go. I recently moved out and in with my BF so my expenses are split, but nonetheless they are still expenses. Any tips on continuing this journey and keeping the drive?

Hello everyone, I'm trying to get into real estate investing. Some of the books I've read have talked about buying a multi unit property and utilizing investors to get the necessary capital. Does anyone have experience in getting investors? How do you identify investors who may be interested? Are there any sites where you can invest in or post investment opportunities?
Thank you in advance.
