Overall, 60% of traders think this year would favor stocks, mutual funds, and other equity-based investments, despite Treasury yields and other safer cash-like investments paying big. I’m looking for opportunities in the market that could fetch me $1m ahead of retirement by 2025.

Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience. If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.

@Vanessa Andreatta The electricity issue is wildly exaggerated. Usually power cuts only last 2 hours a day, when they do happen. Sometimes we go for months, depending on the region without outages which are announced well in advance. Besides, fibre lines and network towers stay on during those times.

I am a South African based in Boston and alone i spend almost $200 (R3100) every second week for groceries which equals to $400 (R6200)a month on groceries compared to the R1500 ($96) i used to spend on monthly groceries living with my nephew in South Africa. The cost of living is definitely higher this side of the world which sometimes makes it impossible for one to live their best life. When I was in South Africa I would take vacations now and then (including trips to our neighbouring countries and Europe) but living in such an expensive city like Boston makes it harder for me to even consider a random Miami vacation.
