My advice about the folks that know nothing is for the 97-99% of folks on here; pay down consumer debt, buy your primary house full cash, invest in "passive" stuff like 60% etfs, 10% gold, 30% bitcoin and relax.

The math just isn’t balancing for many households when wages stay flat but housing costs climb.As for buying multiple private islands and a few countries… unless you’re secretly on the Forbes billionaire list or moonlighting as a tech mogul, the odds are about the same as finding a unicorn in your backyard.

As you have mentioned in the past, you should not put more than 10-15% of your money in one investment - so if you have $500k and want to throw $50k ok - but it still hurts. if its your first and only 50k, there are plenty of other opportunities out there to get in the game for lessFor many - Goes back to greed and FOMO as well, last few years everyone and their brother wanted to jump in on the STR and MF space because of these great returns - no different than NFT's and bitcoin before that, but when something moves up quickly, it typically drops pretty quickly as well.

Once in, they see 5 percent of the work involved to make it work, and they move on to something like 4x, Bitcoin or travel agent.

I think that the guy they collared for Bitcoin fraud may be another example because the Bitcoin he bought illegally actually appreciated.   

.😖 I can understand those it’s been working out trying to show case, but maybe they should be working at a gym instead of trying to pretend that they’re real estate billionaires…🤣 yes Most of them are Andrew Tate and Wes Watson types.

An allocation to gold and Bitcoin--yes Bitcoin-- will be the new norm.I told @Alan F. in another thread closed a while ago that was oil was the play.
