In the past 12 months: -Building a house (w/ shipping containers) in the mountains. Very inexpensive but slow process. Hope to flip it. -Saved $30k cash, not "intelligent investing" but great for peace of mind -Some stocks via Robinhood, Schwab, Tradeking (< $5k total invested any given time) -IRA -Acorns (petty cash, fun to watch it increase) In general if you can save 20%+ of net income you're doing better than most. Some months (good months, I freelance) I can save 2x more than I spend, which is nice. But those months I keep it liquid.
