I feel so weird saying this but my partner and I, I feel, have hit our limit with the more traditional savings routes. I just looked at our mid-year check in for our budget and we have hit the 500K mark between brokerage, 401ks, Roth IRAs, and HYSA. We are 35, no children, and own (have a mortgage on) our home. We don’t come from generational wealth and both came from pretty meager upbringings so our families don’t have any guidance for us.
I feel like we need to look into other investment opportunities because all of our savings and investments are tied to the stock market. I don’t really believe in using real estate as an investment while our country is going through a housing crisis / I don’t believe in commoditizing what should be a basic human right. Not exactly the point of the post but kind of.
I’m just not sure what options we have or what I should look into / where to start. Everything I look into just says real estate 😞
Would love to hear any thoughts! TYIA
