38 year old lyft driver from gambling to VT
I'm a 38 year old lyft driver with only 30k savings because of a bad habit in gambling some time ago. I make 300 dollars a day minus expenses and I've been subverting 85 daily into VT including weekends. I'm not in the best position even though I do not have children. I'm thinking of putting a good chunk of my songs into VT and to continue DCAing. Being high risk adverse this investment makes me feel the best. Any others happy with their VT investment?
I also fell into crypto in 2017 where I made money two years later but after that its been a bloodbath and led me to gambling instead of wise investing. I'm afraid I let my brother in law down by not speaking out against crypto and telling him the more wise investment approach. He also had lucky strikes but I think it's a zero sum game.
I wonder why its so hard for people and I'm talking about myself to listen to the the more experienced investors when they say invest in index funds.
