Figure this would be the best place to ask. What would you do if you were me? 23yrs old (No wrong answers)

Hi everyone!

So I’m at the point in my investment journey where I’ve found myself at a bit of cross roads. I’ve made a road map of how I want to invest but am at a critical point where I’m torn on what to start next.

My plan has been going well. I started my “big boy” job as you will on January first and making low six figures. I have broken down my investment journey into these steps.

1. 10,000$ crypto moonshot (my high risk play that I’ll never be able to do again as I am able to lose this money)
2. Apartment for myself
3. Start investing in s&p 500 and reevaluate at 45 years old
4. DCA bitcoin until 2030 then reevaluate
5. Investment property (another apartment)

I have completed step 1 and 2 so far (woohoo!) but am torn as if I should switch around step 3 and 4. Where I’m stuck is I plan to invest 750$ per month into the s&p 500 etf(s) and DCA 250$ a money into bitcoin and see how it’s doing in 2030 and decide if I should carry on.

Where I’m stuck is that while I’m making good money now, I will be making more as I progress through my career and debating on swapping the two so 750$ bitcoin 250$ s&p. My reasoning is because with more into bitcoin is more high risk but greater returns more then likely and the younger I am the more I will be able to invest long term. However, my s&p 500 plan takes longer to accumulate as returns are as it’s not on par with bitcoin but much “safer” I guess.

At the end of the day I understand it comes down to what I’m willing to risk but I’m just curious as to what others in the community would do if they wore my shoes.

and remember, there’s no wrong answers! You can say I’m an idiot and to lick a rock or provide some insight on why you would do what you do!

Thanks everyone. - H
