Thoughts on potential business ideas or investment opportunities where I can live the life I deserve now and not in retirement? I’m always trying to think of potential business ideas and come up with nothing. As far as interests, it doesn’t matter what it is. As long as it makes money I’m interested.

Hahaha I knew someone would say onlyfans. I’m good, but that is legitimate.

Real estate, depending on how much cash you have on hand, turnkey investing is pretty simple

If you're cash constrained like the rest of us, still real estate, but you've got to buy beaters, fix them up and refinance. Takes more time, know-how and risk, but you can build up your free cash flows to what a typical pension pays over in a few years

YMMV

What are you bringing to the table? How much money to invest? Or experience ?

I’m a corporate lawyer - other than that no business experience. Not sure how much money I’m willing to invest. Depends on the business venture I guess.

My only warning would be to think more about why you are pursuing a certain business. I think the most successful businesses/entrepreneurs are those that aren't doing it for the money. They have a strong purpose behind the product/service they are providing to consumers. For example, Elon Musk could have stopped working after he sold his share in PayPal. He had PLENTY of money to just relax the rest of his life, but he chose to continue building great businesses because he wanted to change the world.

I think it's important you have a true purpose behind the work you are doing, as opposed to starting a business for the major fact of earning money.

Adverse selection is a huge issue in trading. You never have perfect information and your decision won’t be perfect for the outcome. This usually means you’re too small in winners and too large in losers.

As markets crash we’re seeing something similar. People are ignoring bad outcomes when they should be working that much harder to protect previous gains and find new ideas. Lower traffic in this thread is a symptom of this phenomenon. Don’t quit just as the value of incremental effort ramps.

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
