Been broke all my life, now I'm not- help
Throwaway account. I grew up broke, I didn't go to college and I mostly worked manual labor type jobs till my mid 30's. Then I stumbled into an Account Exe role in software sales and I'm making more money than I ever have. I work as a 1099 with an s corp set up. I bought some designer shit, it did nothing for me. Not doing that again. I don't drive, so who needs a car. I'm not ready to buy a home right now. I have no debt, and my monthly cost of living is maybe 3k? I live in a state with low taxes. I don't have kids. I am married. My credit score is in the 800s. I have a brokrage account, Roth IRA, a traditional IRA, and a bunch of stocks, etfs and index funds. I also have a fair amount of crypto. I have no idea what to do with this extra cash. I don't even know how I got here. Do I just keep dumping it into stocks? This seems boring. does boring equal wealth? What else can I invest in? Any advice? submitted by /u/Helpivebeenp00r to r/personalfinance [link] [comments]
