You're wasting your time investing in boomer stocks and index funds. Those are designed to crash and burn. You'll be lucky if you double your money in 30 years after inflation at this point

The fastest way to reach a money goal is to increase your income, not investing and definitely not gambling shitcoins.

At one point, I was putting in $4,500/per month into my investment accounts. I took all of that money and put it into starting a business and now I'm making around 5k per week.

-work a higher paying job or do overtime
-invest in a side hustle/your own business
-if you manage to make your side thing profitable a huge margin then you can think about investing in stocks/bonds

you got it all backwards OP

>> No.49382614

There is no free money everywhere. Stocks go up and stocks go down. You have to be able to withstand this to earn the equity risk premium. If you can't handle volatility then you need to be in bonds, not stocks.

you're too young but if you were investing in 2018, you'd be used to this
>crypto market went down 90%
>stock market slowly bled 20% over the course of the year
I spent a whole year investing more than 50% of every paycheck, and watched myself get poorer each month

just be patient, valuations will go back up

Maybe they were just bad at it, but all my boomer coworkers I talk to that used to have their own business say that it's not worth it. Huge time investment, a lot of uncertainty regarding the future, and at the end of the day, not even necessarily that much more income than at a regular wagey job.

I have to say though, despite that the idea of doing my own thing always appealed to me. I suppose software would be a pretty easy avenue, considering you require very little to no initial investment, and free learning resources are abundant.
