---RIGHT NOW--- (1) Put $300k in a boring ETF like VOO (2) Put $200k in BTC (transfer to hardware wallet) (3) Put $100k in Ethereum + Solana (transfer to hardware wallet and stake) (4) Put remaining $900k in T Bills.
---THERAFTER FOR NOW--- (1) Each month sell $15k of T-Bills and buy $15k of a boring ETF like VOO (so you will put it all into the market after 60 months / 5 years).
---MOVING FORWARD--- If you're interested in real estate, buy an investment property to see if you like being in the real state game. If so, buy more (one at a time), place conservative leverage on it, and the rince and repeat -- but not beyond around 50% of your net worth. |

Date: April 16th, 2025 2:59 PM Author: exhilarant striped hyena Mainly cash right now. Market will prob crash another 30%-40%. Maybe start DCAing when it's down another 25%-35%. Other than that you can a little gold stock (although it's at peak). I just bought some IAU (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5708984&forum_id=2#48853733) |

Date: April 16th, 2025 3:11 PM Author: multi-colored chapel Cash is a terrible investment. Euro is now 1.15 usd. That's a drop of 10% in the past few months. You must inflation protect your asset. Bitcoin just like gold isn't cheap now but it will be even more expensive in the future. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5708984&forum_id=2#48853789) |

Date: April 16th, 2025 3:16 PM Author: exhilarant striped hyena My cash is in a money market paying 4% on Vanguard
BTC is still risky AF You can put a little in there, but no more than 10% IMO
Also if you own a house, it doesn't matter as much if the dollar goes down in value
I don't do much forex trading, but if you're comfortable buying the Yen or Euro, then go for it
The last thing I would do is dump it in index funds right now |

Date: April 16th, 2025 4:07 PM Author: multi-colored chapel If Index funds drop 20% off peak, i.e. to 4800 it will be the same deal as 2022 when market dropped 20% while usd devalued by another 20 or 30%. Usd may not necessarily keep dropping against euro because once recession starts in euro they will actively devalue their currency but the purchasing power decreases either way. My house may go up a bit in $ terms, but so does my property tax, maintenance, insurance and homes are way overpriced now. That's why only bitcoin and profitable stocks work against inflation

no better investment than broadly in american companies. lol at invsting in intl index funds.
and lmao at putting ur money in t bills. can't believe youd actually consider that.
has worked out very well for me.

In all seriousness, there is no way to answer this question unless you also describe your financial goals and investment time horizons. The optimal investment strategy is very different if you are hoping to use the money to retire in 30 years versus use it to buy a second home in 1-2 years. |

If your goal is to quit being a wage slave, TT has proven that you can do that right now if you are willing to move overseas and live on the cheap. But if you want to ball out like RSF for the rest of your life, you are going to need a bit more. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5708984&forum_id=2#48895522) |

maybe i could do a version of TT but i'm not self-exiling to se asia or anything like that. |

Date: May 1st, 2025 10:57 PM Author: .,.,,...,...,..,....,...,...,... If you withdraw 4% of your portfolio per year, you have about a 80-85% chance of not running out of money over the course of 55-60 years. If you reduce the withdrawal rate to 3%, then you have a nearly 100% chance of not outliving your money. That would mean that would get $60k per year in the first scenario and $45k per year in the second scenario. If that is enough to live off of, then congratulations. Enjoy your retirement. If not, figure out how much you would need to live off of and multiply that number by about 25 or 30. That's your target number. If you are close to that number, invest conservatively (most bonds and cash). If you are further away, invest more in stocks. I can try to give more detailed advice if you can say how much you would need to cover your annual expenses in early retirement.
