I so agree with your take on the housing market. I am so lucky an ex-landlord forced me to buy a place and showed me the ropes. Owning real estate can make all the difference in your financial life which in turn improves confidence and emotional life too.
Welcome back! It's nice to read your insightful thoughts and car commentary once again.
Investing seems to have become a popular thing as of late. But how do you know where to begin? I have a little bit of money in Acorns, but I've also heard of Index funds being a better way or even to start investing in individual stocks through Robinhood. So many choices can be overwhelming.
And also about chasing after the one guy on the app only for it to blow up in your face. I'm sorry that it happened to you. It seems like it's something that happens a lot. I know when I tried apps about 3 years ago, there would always be those guys I matched with and really hoped it would go further but ended up being met with silence, going nowhere, or they were just looking for a quick fling. I guess when you're looking for love, the reality gets romanticized and obscured by the rose colored glasses.
Thanks for your comment! The most important part of investing is time - just put as much extra money as you can consistently into your Acorns account and that should serve you pretty well. But if you want to diversify or try other things, I’d check out some investing for beginners resources. I think for most people it’s hard to beat the professional app services (like acorns) by choosing individual stocks on Robinhood - that’s a riskier strategy. You seem to be doing the right thing.

That’s awesome! Congrats on making that happen. I totally agree
