Wife and I have went in back to back years. Feb of 22 and Feb 23. You will find that just about everyone speaks English. At the shops, restaurants, touristy spots, and on and on.

In my opinion, making a smart investment is not only a technique for earning passive income, but also a profitable way of saving for future expenses. People who fail to make the proper judgments early in life often come to regret it later in life. Nonetheless, investing alone can be difficult and risky. As a result, I recommend obtaining an expert’s assistance. The challenge is not just watching videos and reading investing books; it is about implementing information effectively.

Seeking guidance from a consultant or investing coach is advisable if you're unfamiliar with market dynamics. Personally, consulting with an expert has been instrumental in navigating the market and achieving a portfolio growth of approximately 65% since January. While it may seem like a common suggestion, I firmly believe it's the most practical approach for entering the business successfully right now.

When I was an undergrad, one of my professors told us "Unless you plan on becoming a trader as your career AND have access to a hedge fund's research tools, you're best off DCAing into index funds and maybe ETFs." Then, he told us to take the time we would spend on staring at charts, and instead learn three things to mastery. One thing that's useful, one thing that's interesting, and one thing that's just plain fun. Served me pretty well so far.

Not Humphry here.. but personally I would recommend putting 10-20% of your portfolio into riskier investments such as smaller stocks that haven't been around as long. Do your research and figure out what you think might be one of the next big companies. You could be looking at a 10x on the right one. Just look at Google for example, I have a friend who invested before it was a billion-dollar company and made millions within a few years. I'm not a financial advisor but personally I'm interested in where solar and electric vehicle companies will go. Especially with a lot of countries proposing they will be only producing electric vehicles within the next 10-15 years. Another safe bet could be silver because it is an essential component in solar panels. Obviously don't just listen to a random person in the KZread comments but I hope this helped.

I have Fidelity for my rollover IRA but like using M1 for my Roth IRA because when I deposit money it automatically invests the money using the percentages I set for my portfolio. We still use Fidelity for my wife's IRA but every payday I have to login and figure out how much money goes where and may buy orders. I know that Fidelity allows some automation but for a fee and I'd rather not pay that every month.

I'm delighted with the choices I've made this year as we approach its end. Despite the market conditions, I took the leap and invested in the market early on, and it has truly been a life-saving decision. In the past seven months, I've managed to turn my initial investment of $35,000 into $100,000.
