Does your job have a 401k plan that allows mega backdoor Roth? If so I would put the money in a money market earning 5+% and live off of it and set your 401k withholdings to 50%+ of your salary and try and max out the mega backdoor Roth (max combined is $69k but that includes the normal contribution, employer match and the after tax Roth converted).

Doing this will basically have you dollar cost average into the market and you will have 20+ years tax free growth on that investment.

If your company doesnt offer that I would index invest it in a brokerage account.

Nothing for 6 months. Just think about your options but don't rush into anything.

Let me see, you have $200-400K to invest and you come to a subsection of a sports blogging board for advice and so far you've gotten suggestions to open a Roth, buy Bitcoin, and time the market by stalling. I'd say you came to the right place.

If you bet half on red and half on black, you have a decent shot at getting your money back and might get some comps.

It only takes one or two 0s to lose out.

On a more serious note.... put it in a mm account earning 5% and wait for bitcoin to nose dive (and it will) then put it in there. I have been doing that for 4 years and its worked out well.

Or a boat

Depending on whatever your current debt looks like you may not want to pay it off (i.e. sub 4% mortgage). I would put it all in December t-bills at 5%+ to lock it up while you consider your options

That does suck that Peter couldn't even have 2 chicks at the same time now because of inflation.

It's worse. Because of inflation he has to settle for one fat chick half the time.
