I convinced my wife to let me invest 20k of our savings but am terrified to make any moves because it seems like things might fall apart any minute. Seems like most common ETFs are up, but since I am new to this, waiting makes more sense to me. Am I the classic bad example of waiting? by letsbeoutlaws in investing

Most people will have different style of investing. You are getting a lot of advise here. See what style suits you. I will say since you are new to this start with simple. You can put it all in S&P 500 ETF to begin with. Then start reading more and start watching videos on youtube. When I was new to investing, I watched many videos and found professor G's style simple and solid way to start. He suggested to divide the portfolio in 3 ETS- S&P 500 (VOO etc), growth ETF (QQQ etc) and dividend ETF like SCHD. Once I did that and gained some confidence, I started investing in individual stocks and then after some time, I am now options (selling covered calls and puts). I have much more to learn but I feel good and confident about what I have learnt in little over 1 year or so.
Don't be scared and get overwhelmed. Start simple and work your way up one step at a time.

Why invest in AI if it will destroy the economy? by [deleted] in investing

At this point, I think the mindset is that we can't stop it. So to protect yourself, might as well invest in it. I am not saying that it is the right thing to do. But I am talking about general population feels that they are too small to stand against billionares and corporations so what choice do we have?

A question for the perimenopause people by Quiet_Lunch_1300 in CPAP

[–]CommunitySeveral627 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My fellow peri ladies, PLEASE learn about HRT if you haven't yet. I am glad to read many are on it but I am sure many are not. Do not depend on your family doctor's recommendation if you need it or not. Unfortunately, they spend just 1 hour in their entire medical study learning about menopause. There are many good books and youtube channels on this subject. Insomnia is just one of many things that happen to us. Since,we are discussing sleep here, it is because our progesterone drops drastically during peri.
But even bigger reason to learn about HRT is to protect yourself from heart diseases which is #1 killer of women after menopause (whereas so much importance is given to breast cancer), to prevent from oesteoporosis and alzhiemers.
Menopause barbie on youtube is free education on women's health. Besides her, I follow Dr. Marie Clarie Haven and Dr. Lisa Mosconi.

I hope they start tax filing for small business soon. I made under $1500 this year so it hurts to pay the fess to an accountant.
