A Roth should usually focus on growth stocks and low cost index funds (VTI, VOO, etc...) if you are investing for the long term.

I have submitted my site (sitemap) to Google Console today, so I am just waiting for them to crawl and index my site.

Otherwise you're probably better off just investing your money passively in index funds and dollar cost averaging.  

I mean it's just a brokerage account with a few extra steps, it will obviously work if you invest in low cost index funds and are willing to leave the money alone for a while. 

I do not have this much cash flow coming in as I'm much more of an active investor lately (flips) but if I did I would probably do:$10k - Salary to live off of$10k - Into a broad market index fund like VTI or VOO$10k - Into a savings pot for future investments, vacations, toys, etc.

This is a more advanced strategy but, it allows your money to work for you in the market while getting a tax-free (floating rate) loan against the index funds.

I own real estate but also own index funds and stocks.

New Bern sits at a 10 out 100 on the crime index (with 100 being the safest), Which is a very agreeable number.

I'd argue that the returns from RE are generally lower than the stock market This is HIGHLY subjective and CAN BE very far from the truthI looked at the S&P 500 Ticker SPY.It had a price of $148 on January 1 2000It now has a price of $468appreciation is 216% over 24 yeras which is 9% annuallyReal Estate had a average price of $131,539 on Janaury 1, 2000It now has a price of $403,683Appreciation is 206% over 24 years which is 8.6% annuallyHowever, real estate likely has cash flow  / cap rate of around 5% natuionally while the dividend rate for the ETF is around 2%Real Estate = 8.6% + 5% = 13.6%Stocks = 9% + 2% = 11%From 1980 through 2023 the US housing market average annual growth rate was 8.6% - source Federal Reserve Bank of St.Louis House price index for the United States.
