What are Good Commission Investments?

I'd love to get an idea as to what types of investment people are putting their commission and/or base salary earns towards.

Obviously there are equities, bonds and crypto but specifically what are you buying?

On top that, are their less common investments you've found that provide you with a great return?

Priority #1 is to minimize your tax exposure.

- Max out 401k
- Max out HSA (if participating)

Priority #2 is spot on from @poweredbycaffeine
Go for short term investments that can yield you 5% or more return. You’ll be out pacing inflation and can access the money quickly if shit starts going sideways.

#3 is long term investments. Think real estate. If you can buy a property and be cash flow break even or positive pull the trigger.

Feel like you’re looking for someone to justify your Crypto addiction. Better strategy might be to binge on a scratcher tickets.

I don’t own crypto. I’m thinking more along the lines of angel investing, silent partner backing or low interest loans to local businesses.

Those are all fantastic options.

That’s always more riskier, no?
It depends on your risk appetite!

Max out my 401k, then the rest goes into short term investments like bonds.

Are you ever looking at alternative investments? Like into a start up or a silent partner situation?

For Canada, TFSA & RRSP maxing. Index funds for safe long term growth.
If you have a larger pot of liquidity, real estate.
