Personally, I'm invested in equities and real estate, from a long-term perspective.

History tells us that equities and real estate values appreciate over time. I have a very long investment time horizon and high risk tolerance, so I'm willing to put all my investing dollars into equities and RE regardless of short term volatility. I'm not invested in bonds as historically, those offer less upside (of course, because they are less risky), and I'm not worried about downside risk now.

Broad based ETFs, and some Single Family Rental properties, nothing too complicated. Just going to keep adding to the stock and RE portfolio with any additional discretionary income I have and keep chugging along.
