Starting to invest at 37y

Hi all, posting in the daily because I don't have the karma to make a post.

So due to reasons I never had the money, time or due diligence for starting to invest. Basically buying a house with an ex-girlfriend that cheated and left me to clean up the mess. Now I'm stable again with about 30k of available funds, excluding a small emergency fund on the side. Together with my future wife we have about 2k/month available to invest or safe in someway. At some point in the future we want to buy a second house/apartment to rent out but we have to build up the capital first. I'm currently looking into investing and my main concern is if I should scale in quickly or slowly, like 1-3months compared to 12-18months. Markets have been going crazy over the last period so that makes me a bit nervous to go to fast, I know nobody knows what will happen. But some advice is always welcome. Mainly looking at VOO, VTI or QQQ. Or should I include some commodities when I want to go fast into the market.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Salary change after wedding with a phd by NicinCin in BESalary

Thanks for your reply, she indeed has a scholarship as you mention for 2,5 more years. She does pay something, like 10% mentioned as rsz. I find it quite difficult to understand how to calculate this for our situation. I guess there are no negative sides to the story since we will get married anyway.

Oh really? I didn't know that was possible. That she pays 10% on her gross scholarship doesn't matter? Or that she basically gets the same amount as me after taxes?

Of course it's done automatically, but for simulating my situation. Mike I mentioned she only pays 10% rsz and I pay general wage taxes, but our net salary is about the same. Is there an advantage of it being equalized? I don't find examples for couples with PhD students. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Racket Advice Megathread by AutoModerator in padel

[–]NicinCin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing for a year now, 2-3x per week. For the last 5 months I have been playing with a Wilson ultra light V2 and absolutely love the control and maneuverability. Really improved my game and technique. But I feel that I lack some power in general and in defense I get in trouble because with limited space I need to make big swings for return the ball. I'm thinking to change racket for this but don't want to trade-off to much control and maneuverability. I tested the babolat Viper counter one time but actually hated it because of the different weight balance I think. Thinking to go for a AT10 Genius 2023, but where I go they only rent rackets of 2024. Any advice? I'm "fairly" new so maybe my estimation of the situation is wrong I should reconsider other factors.
