do what most people do.

Watch a couple tik toks and buy some sneakers, coffee mugs and baseball cards from a thrift store or garage sale.

Then call your self an entrepreneur, business owner and ceo.

1. Open an IRA on vanguard
2. max it out (currently $6,500)
3. invest into the S&P500 index fund.

Keep doing this every year until you're 65.

Reading some of the investing ideas from Warren Buffet can be helpful.

With basic investing ideas, Charles Schwab has a nice web sight that can help.

The best first book that I recommend is "Simple Wealth, Inevitable Wealth" by Nick Murray. This is a good place to start, but there are a lot of ideas about investing and how.

The second best advise is to ONLY INVEST IN WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND.

that's the boring way of investing

all you need is:

- Risky options from wallstreetbets

- crypto twitter

Pretty much this... Trying fancy chit when you don't know what you are doing ends up biting you in the ass.

Or try to figure out something else to do with your money that everyone else is not doing. Just my opinion, but the market looks more and more like a ponzi scheme every day. Look at the charts from where they stopped giving pensions and started doing the 401ks. Every pay check you have Americans just dumping money in regardless of conditions without giving it any thought. I of course do it also due to my company matching the funds. I would not be doing it otherwise.

The other obvious alternative is real estate, but that is not looking very viable now a days either. Maybe you can come up with some other form of rent seeking behavior?

This is a pretty good intro for conventional/boring investing for building wealth over working life
