Been dealing lately with that brain fog, feeling more than anything. Like I start the day fine, but by afternoon I lose focus completely and even simple tasks feel heavier than they should. Sleep is decent, coffee doesn’t really fix it anymore, and I can’t figure out if it’s stress, diet, or something else.

I came across Beyond Alpha while searching for stuff related to energy / hormone balance, but I’m not sure what to think about it. Has anyone here tried it or anything similar for focus / mental clarity? Did it help in a real way or just temporary placebo?

I have 200k from a house buy out and 80k from a 401k. Total 280k. I am 50 years old. I work as a warehouse manager making 70k per year. I am currently renting a small apartment in Valparaiso.

I have no idea what to do with this money. I feel like I should buy a small condo but interest rates are high. Or maybe I should invest the money and keep renting.

A guy at work told me to talk to Harvest Wealth Partners. He used them after a similar situation a few years ago. I met with them last week. They did not pressure me. They just asked about my goals and explained the tax side of buying versus renting.

Anyone else been through this? Did you buy or rent? And how do you trust yourself with a lump sum after a big financial change?
