Investing Capital Allocations

[Bryan Clement]

Hello, so as a new investor, I am struggling with the decision of where to put the money I make. Am I supposed to invest in the stock market/mutual funds/etf's with quite a bit of my funds? A little of my funds? Half and half? I've also been thinking of steering clear of the market all together and just focusing on Real Estate, but I feel like that has some risk attached to it as well. What is the best method of allocating investing capital for a newbie? Or, alternatively, what is the best way to allocate funds regardless of their stage in life? Thanks!
