    How would you turn a $400k–$500k inheritance into $2.5M+ within 10 years?

    INVESTING QUESTION 
    How exactly would you take this money and turn it into 2.5+ million in 10 years or less? I receive about 250k from cashing out a 401k. Another 150k to 200k from selling the house. Maybe another 10ish from selling the cars. Also about 50k from the checking account. This is from a family member...

    Do you know what you’re doing with your money?

    INVESTING 
    This past year I’ve started playing pickleball and have met all new people of various age groups. I’m making this post because I’m somewhat amazed at how little younger people understand money and finances. I’m talking about 30-40 year olds. As an example I met this guy who makes a decent $50k...

    investing in the stock market does not seem right

    INVESTING 
    So after building a business that makes 50k in gross revenue on average a month (last month 10-20k more), I decided to put around 100k in the stock market. Almost a month later, after realizing how slow this money will grow, I cannot but feel this whole thing is a "scam". Or said better, my...

    240 is a magical number that can print money for you for a lifetime. Or you can ignore it and lose a fortune

    MINDSET 
    Awhile ago there was a garbageman who had worked in this profession for several years. I don't remember his name so I'll make one up: his name was Dave. Dave loved playing the lottery on occasion and actually ended up winning $15m. For the sake of argument, we'll assume he took home $7.5m after...

    This is relevant to every discussion on this forum related to investing a small dollar amount... $1000, $10000, and even $50,000.
