Up next we have Sally in Los Angeles.

Hi, Sally.

Welcome to the show.

Hi, thanks for having me.

Yes, absolutely.

How can we help?

Big picture. I recently sold my house and I was able to get about 300,000 kind of tax-free because

I didn't have to qualify to do any capital gains on it because I lived at it in the past

couple years and whatnot. And now I'm sitting on this little nest egg of mine. And I keep,

I've invested like the first 50,000 into stock. And there's obviously some fluctuations on a

day-to-day basis based on, you know, what the president

of the United States sometimes also tweets, things change and whatnot. What do you mean, Sally? What do you mean? What if they're supposed to, I just like, I'm like, I want to move, but I feel like I'm almost playing like hop-scots here where I'm like, no, no, can I go now? And I'm like'm like I right now it's just sitting there and I'm

like I'm thrilled I have it but I also don't want to be irresponsible are you needing this

money anytime soon or were you looking at this just to put away for years down the road I'm

looking to put it away I think that is the best solution for me.

My husband and I were doing fine. Pretty much he's covering all the current expenses. We have

toddler. We're doing it. And I don't, we don't have any debt or anything along those lines.

I don't feel like I can purchase anything with what I have in our current

area. It's a high cost of living area. So that's not really an option either. It can be put away

for a moment. But I'd also like to maximize some of my earning possibilities for it as well.
