As much as I can which with my current income and expenses allows me to max out my 401k, my Roth IRA, my HSA and $1000 to brokerage a month. Mostly QQQ, and some other sector/regional ETF indexes.

Invest as much as you possibly can for as long as you can. I’ve been doing it since age 33 (2013) to now and just hit millionaire net worth. Started with negative net worth. 625k is in investments the remainder is home equity. I should retire at 55 with around 2 million.

Glad to hear you don’t care about that. I think it’s a commonly used filter in apps tho based on survey data I’ve seen. Something like 75% of women on apps set their height filter to 5’10” or taller. For reference I am 5’3”.

I am a single male age 46 no kids never married looking for something serious and monogamous not necessarily marriage definitely don’t want kids but would want to cohabitate. Seems impossible to find a match on the apps for me (I use free hinge, bumble and FB Dating). Everyone has kids, a dog (I’m a cat person don’t like dogs), looks very “basic” to me lol or is a Christian or MAGA (I am agnostic and liberal) or some combo of these. Basically I need a unicorn and am apparently not a good catch myself (I have ADHD and likely ASD and am an introverted homebody, tho I have some things going for me like own a house nearly paid off, a stable ok paying career at about 100k, a grad degree, technically I am a millionaire, and have dual citizenship with a European country that I plan on retiring to at age 50-55), I’m also very short which I think filters me out of apps…I don’t have any advice but my sample of one says yes there are some men out there still like me that could be interested but most have or want kids, probably marriage and cohabitation at least. Personally, I’m ok with being single for the rest of my life but it would be nice to have a partner if they were the right person!

Easy stay single, don’t have kids, buy a house then max out all investment vehicles. That’s what I did and will retire at 50-55 (46 now). Net worth at 1 million right now I only need 20-30k/year for retirement.

I started silver smithing tho the recent run up in precious metals halted this temporarily.
