What to do with disposable income?

I have retirement and personal investment accounts already. How to moneymaxx with leftover money? I feel like real estate is mostly a long-term income. I suppose I could invest more in my career, but I’m pretty happy with where I currently am. I don’t think that knowledge alone is gonna get me to that joosy CIO position.

I’ve thought about that, but it seems like a losing game. Someone has to lose for someone else to win; and then you add in fees and taxes. So house is the only winner, right?

Just lol @ everyone saving up on stocks that will pay off in 20 years when you can’t even walk anymore.



Your life is now, stop worrying about something that might never happen
-Some people say good things come to those who wait, truth is, good things come to those who work..... who work later.....who work harder...... who are willing to go further than anyone else to get them. If you're waiting for good things to come to you, you'll be waiting for a pretty long time.

-I'd rather live life saying "I failed" than "I could have"

You can come out with serious profits if you put down serious money and don't trade emotionally. I definitely wouldn't advise anyone to look at it as a serious investment portfolio or anything though.

If you're invested in retirement/personal income accts and truly have disposable income then it's a good chance to make money. The other answer would just be to pump the disposable cash to beef up your other investments.

Maybe give swing trading a shot to get your feet wet

Yeah, but I’d rather focus on short-term instead of long-term with my leftovers.

Vegas is pretty lively. Downtown was crazy busy. Some nice booties everywhere.

I like real estate investments, especially when interest rates are super low these days. I net about ~3k a month from my two rentals. I don't spend it, just throw it towards principle to pay off one of the homes quicker and move onto the next.

I dabbled in stonks for a while, but don't know much about it or have time to seriously do research so now I just do those retirement/roth accounts and not worry about the crazy swings.

If it was me I'd spend it. I've already done the math to get to my goal net worth at my goal retirement age, with a slight cushion. Seeing as life is short and you get a finite amount of time to spend it all, you shouldn't spend anymore time on planning or anymore money on saving for the future than you have to in order to reach your goals. Once you've got that on autopilot you set it, forget it, and live in the present.

Be careful with real estate, if you're not getting any mortgage rebate, and paying tax on resell its a huge monetary black hole.
Colleague of mine put all he has into homes, 7 so far, didn't realise he can't claim tax back form mortgage repayments anymore and when he sells the property will incur a 40% tax on any profit made on orginial purchase(given money devlues over time, this is the real killer)
Best bet, if you have the change, buy into a fund of a hedge fund, let a pro make you 10%+ on it

Whoops, I meant after maintenance (on avg) and someone to take care of my properties. After mortgage for the one home it's prob closer to 2k a month since the other one is paid off. It's easy money though for not doing anything at all, but I got lucky with some good tenants, have heard a lot of hororr stories.

Haha sorry, I don't really use social media. Don't have insta, have snapchat but too paranoid about giving it to people on here, don't want anyone ruining my life lol

See above. One rental is $1650 the other is $1750. Trying to look for another investment home but it's hard these days, once a home hits the market, people are putting in a bunch of offers. My brother just bought a home and his interest rate was only 2.2% on a 15 year conventional loan.
