Get away from EJ and just buy voo in a vanguard or fidelity account

o my gord just buy the s&p 500 index yar and you'll be fine. VOO next time

---

Put 965k in VOO and do it again

---

But same thing still. Forget the property or warehouse. Great pay $500,000 (34%) for your $1.5M home. It really doesnt matter. The point is you have higher money in hand. You have $4.5 for VOO that you can DRIP and sell covered calls or wheel. So you get 10%. Thats 450,000 per year. You likely arent blowing all that per year. So you pay the mortgage, and reinvest the remainder (DRIP). If you bought your home outright you have $3.5M, generating $350,000. So for mortgage to come worse off, all the associated costs must be $100,001 or more. Because at that point you are better off paying cash. But really how likely is that? (I think again, because people just read the first chunk they find controversial, I would still pay off for PERSONAL peace of mind. Mathematically harder to justify paying off right away. I may not take the whole 30 years, but I definitely prefer the larger chunk to begin with especially as a new homeowner).

Real estate is dumb money. You'll make a similar amount with way less headache, work and risk by just sticking it in Voo. Never met a smart real estate bro. Even that one guy on youtube who got big cuz he cashed in during the crash completely bailed on real estate over the last couple years. Gram stephan or whatever.

Imma need AAPL 290 end of next week or I full port what I have left into VOO.

---

I want 700-800k and then I'm fine doing something like keeping 500k in indices and using 200k to swing, confident I can consistently make some money that way. From there I'd do something I enjoy like teaching high school or comm college idk, I hate corpo rat rate. Or I'd try out YouTube. Or like literally anything! It does make more sense to not voo when you have under 50k, it isn't much different to save $$ up if high income low nw versus spam invest indices, so I do both cuz im not waiting 20 years

depends if you're fine with the meager yield on bonds relative to the risk of inflation or a stock market/commodity bullrun. Best is probably to put most of it in voo or an even more mixed allocation with global stocks, bonds and commodities if you want to be super defensive. in general stash most of your gains into something relatively safe and then use some of that cash for more regarded options plays or attempts to time the market/keep cash for a crash. Options make you rich until they blow up in your face but maybe you can repeat your luck. ultrashort bonds are a decent cash equivalent too with a small yield but won't hedge a crash like longer dated bonds can (assuming inflation doesn't go so crazy that rates spike, then longer dated bonds and cash are actual poison, rather have gold at that point).

---

So, basically you did what VOO does. 

---

If you wanna be serious about maintaining your money but still have fun in the casino, then be diligent and put 80% of your port into simple etf's like VGT or VOO and 20% into options. You can still make satisfying gains without risking everything.
