I have a house I just finished buying off. Real estate goes up in value a good investment plus you own your own home and don't have to pay rent. It costs money to fix it up, and it is how Donald Trump got rich buying used condos and fixing them up and selling them for millions.

The stock market is iffy. I had a 401K and ROTH IRA that went down from the original $150,000 I had in it to $1000 now. Tech stocks don't do too well because of debt and reinvesting in R&D.
