I tend to lean toward equities just for simplicity. Money in account, buy stock, check back in 30 years.

I have started dabbling in RE but only through an acquaintances RE private equity firm. He’s involved in assisted living facilities and the returns are quite attractive. That’s as far as I’ll go into RE; I don’t see myself buying rentals. 12-18% via private equity is more than enough to satisfy my RE needs.

Either way; these two things are the only shot we peeons have at creating real wealth.
