I frequent another financial forum with a very different mindset from this group, and I find myself agreeing with both sides. Love MJs books and have nothing negative to say about the entrepreneurial mindset!

The other forum is probably considered stereotypical sidewalk, but their premise is “financial predictability”.

anyways, I own a medical practice and have a significant portion of equity in a private fund merger that I’m hoping to cash out in 4-6 years. I also take advantage of available tax advantages retirement accounts.

im pretty debt averse, but do owe 230k at 2.675% on my mortgage.

I’m trying to decide what to do with a mid 6 figures amount of cash.

the general consensus over there is: pay off mortgage and/or invest into taxable account mutual funds.

I value this forum so I wanted to see what the other opinions look like. Are people still bullish on some crypto? I’ve made and lost some with Doge, Bit, Eth and don’t know enough about the space to commit yet.

I have a full time job running a large practice and have 2 young kids and a wife who I prize my free time with. I’m not really looking for a major time commitment- which is what attracts me to paying off debt and passive stock investing.

I’ve tried leveraged multi family and single family real estate- didn’t care for it due to the time requirement or stress/lack of control with tenants.

Prior to my private equity merger I dabbled in starting companies related to my business- product creation, blogging. I found that I disliked the time commitment outside of my regular job.

with my aversion to time commitment outside of my full time career, should I just stick to the slow lane- or is there an option available I should explore that may have a high barrier to entry but minimal time commitment that could return beyond expected stock market and mortgage pay off returns ?

Appreciate the feedback- thanks!!
