How much do you have saved?

A little background, I just turned 21and am a sophomore in college with IB SA locked up for next summer. I have $61k in a money market account and $65k in a Raymond James account which is pretty much all mutual funds as well as an inheritance of around $80k-100k coming my way in a month. Going forward, I would like to get more aggressive in my investing and savings as my income rises but really have no idea where to start. I obviously don't want to be a dipshit with my money. I would say that I am pretty frugal and I recognize that I am extremely fortunate to be in the position that I am. I know there's some statistics that the vast majority of wealth is lost in the third generation (which happens to be me), I just want to make sure that I am able to preserve generational wealth for my kids and grandkids. 

 

Now’s the time to be buying the TQQQ Dip, imo. Don’t go all in like an idiot but 10-15 slugs every x months, with the rest in cash and/or SPY (whatever mix you want) You are incredibly fortunate to be in this position. Most people never save 100k cash well into their 40s and 50s

 

I had worked since summer going into 8th grade and probably made about $6-7k. I had also worked 3 jobs during summer 2020 where I made about $15k.

 

TQQQ is not a way to ensure generational wealth, but rather the way to losing it 60% of it in a downturn.

You are in a great position - don’t gamble it all away looking to make a quick buck
