What Should You Do With Extra Cash? Real Estate vs. Stocks for FIRE
Got some extra cash after filling your emergency fund and maxing out retirement accounts? Wondering whether to put it into real estate or the stock market?
In this episode, we break down one of the biggest FIRE questions: Where should your surplus money go if you want to reach financial independence faster?
We walk through our thought process, compare all-in stock vs. real estate approaches, and talk honestly about what fits our current capacity and cash flow. If you're navigating similar questions about investing for the future, this one’s for you.
Whether you're team stocks, team real estate, or somewhere in between—tune in and consider what’s right for your own journey.
