Read back your own post - you’re asking about tips about investing “for the long term” and then you proceed to worry about a short term correction...

Sorry I'm an ETF novice. But Even for longer term, I would prefer to buy something at cheaper valuation. Currently most valuations were very high. This week correction was good but not sure if there would be another one after midterms.

Don't try to time the market, just dollar cost average your contributions routinely and stick to it. In the long term - which is decades, not years - you'll be fine.

I broke through the wall in 2020 and feel like I blinked and it is 2022. I have been saving something close to 75% of my take home and dumping into ETFs. I feel like I want to branch out into real-estate but never lived anywhere more that 3 years. What would you do? I have cash to put a large down payment to avoid the high rates but am scared I have no roots and will move in another few years.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
