Agreed.. so how many times has it hit this bottom and what has it started doing since trump approved the latest (4.4T?) budget extension?
Like I said, no expert here just an observation that it has nowhere but up to go.

Inflation is rampant and sitting on cash sucks, since we're basically losing 5-7% a year...
I am really heavily invested in the market... 85-90% of my money is either in stocks/401ks... is there anything else to invest in? Anything relatively safe that yields 5% a year?
CDs are still shit...
Savings are garbage as well...
Any other ideas?

That's 300k down in cash + 25k a year in prop taxes... + 5% interest at this time. I don't think it makes sense anymore.SAWCE wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 6:12 pmHousesmax225 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 6:08 pm Bringing this back... I have a bit of an issue...

Wait you're using 401k as a "savings account" for a future home purchase?D Griff wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 6:49 pmmax225 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 6:08 pm Bringing this back... I have a bit of an issue...

I wish I knew. I have a lot (for me) in a 401k which will stay there, this is most of my net worth. As far as my cash goes, I have most of my money in my Acorns investing account which is 80% stocks (basically a fund divided between emerging companies, large companies, etc). I've done OK with this, 4.3% gains in the past year... but I'm fearful of an impending . This money is really savings for a home purchase. So it's risky to leave it there, if house prices drop, my money will along with them. The time when I'd actually like to buy a home is likely 2021 or so.
what's best to do. I have the rest of my money (that isn't retirement) in a Discover savings account at 1.6% which is OK for an emergency fund but I don't want tens of thousands in there basically doing nothing.
As long as you can get a renter that covers 80-100% of your mortage+expenses you're fine but most markets don't have that... usually you're 2x ass deep in the mortgage...
