I’ve been diving deep into index fund investing lately, trying to maximize returns while still setting aside cash for my other passions scuba gear upgrades and genetic testing kits. It’s a tricky balance. On one hand, I want to stay aggressive with my investments, but on the other, I don’t want to stall on saving for those bigger purchases.
Has anyone else juggled long-term investing with shorter-term savings goals? How do you allocate your money without sacrificing growth potential? I’m curious if there’s a sweet spot maybe a specific percentage split or a strategy that’s worked for you. Open to any tips or personal experiences!
