What do you invest in or do with your spare cash? I have 70k, I bought a house I live in currently (2 months so far), I already invest in the stock market, 401k, not sure what else to do because all other real estate is too expensive. Thanks!

Do you max your 401k? Are you eligible for an HSA?

If both of those are maxed, there’s nothing wrong with investing in index funds and chilling. Just because you invest in the stock market doesn’t mean you can’t invest more.

You could play with REITs or structured products through a financial advisor if you want something slightly different from the stock market.

Consider partnerships or REITs

If you want to keep it in cash then CD, money market, or short term bond fund. Otherwise add to your stock holdings.

In the past I’ve wrongly thought that forgiveness brings restoration of relationships. But reconciliation requires everyone involved to respond -which is beyond our control. Forgiveness says I’m canceling that debt- it’s my marker & I’m tearing it up. I’m putting myself in Gods hands -Justice comes from Him. We mistakenly think that forgiveness is weakness as if we just capitulated. Forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness- It takes strength to forgive. God tells us to forgive.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
