Like I know people are chasing real estate, reits, ETFs, stocks, crypto, etc. But it just seems like a waste of time. All that money into index funds, I think would generate more money with less effort, after you account for fees and taxes.

You should diversify your investment portfolio. Personally, I have some gold as well as sealed magic the gathering product (laugh if you want, I'll be laughing in 20 yrs :D)

well I'm rebalancing things since I just bought a house and no longer need a large liquid reserve

historically i was like max 401k, max roth ira, and only had about 5k in gold/mtg and 5k or so in crypto

I think I will probably have 10% in some physical asset, then balance stonks with real estate if possible

How much do you really need to know about the funds you invest into though? Can you just pick anything? I work for the federal government and they have something called a TSP (thrift savings plan) that is basically a 401k. You can adjust the funds your money is put into but the Life Cycle one is the default. Which by my understanding is more aggressive when you're young and less so as you age.

Also, shouldn't you also be putting money into an IRA and an HSA if you have one

Just more ways to diversify. Probably can't go wrong either way. If you've got the money to max your 401k and then dump more money into other investments while maintaining your current lifestyle you probably won't have to worry much about retirement regardless.

I did a little research and the conclusion I'm coming to is that if anything I should just increase the amount I put into my TSP.

to the extent that other assets comprise the global market, since you don't think you're smarter than everyone else on the planet, right?

personally id go harder into physical assets when you have your retirement accounts covered. who the hell knows where the dollar is going to go with all the current shit happening let alone digital currencies where anyone can decide if their "real" or not.
