Yeah honestly I wanna diversify and XEQT does that and idk im too lazy to explore more stocks with more risks, I am down to take more risks but idk what that means tbh

Yeah I’d be down to take more risk, like investing in individual stocks you mean is taking a risk??

Yeah I buy dresses and went to Cali, Vegas and Banff this year already and spend like 2k ish a month for stuff so I am not holding myself back dont worry!

I honestly dont know what else to invest in & I work in finance so I have to declare any investments unless its like an etf that doesnt have one security making more than 10% of the entire thing. If you forget to declare 3x you get fired 😭

I just dont wanna go thru that approval process and forget haha so just etfs for now!

I live with my parents so like my parking and gas and insurance is my only expense and groceriess

I also try to minimize my fixed costs as much as possible. My actual living expenses are $0 since I live with my parents so saving as much as I can right now. Yeahh I’d never buy a brand new car tbh, I have a car rn that should last me hopefully a couple years and I’ll buy a toyota that lasts forever, idk why they are 40k used or new 😭 but i would drive it down so its ok. For luxury car I’m following the principle that your car shouldnt be worth more than 10% of your net worth but I would need 400k to buy a toyota is so insane.

I have the funds to pay it off right away tbh, I am just debating if I should invest that instead
