Get my personal finances in order. I have no debt, a good savings going, and a decent chunk in a 401k from a previous company. Other than that, I have done basically no investing and I know I'm leaving money on the table.

s&p 500 + real estate if you can.

Real estate is not a passive investment and not something to get into casually because you have money and want to grow it.

You can passively expose yourself to real estate if you wish - there are plenty of real estate ETFs for example.

What real estate do you have? I bought a home but the only benefit I see is that some of the money I used to spend on rent now becomes equity (but not all).
