I'm too young to have a wide enough frame of reference, and I'm sure a lot of this can be marked up to the type of stories that sell clicks.
But I can't help but to think that lately the news reads like a history textbook explaining the political situations that led up to a world war.

Index fund, real estate.
Personally I like real estate because I find the principles of it intuitive.

Made the jump from Southern California to Salt Lake City, Utah this last October. I believe Utah has the fastest growing economy in the nation currently, and is palpable living here. Cost of living is nice, and there is a treasure trove of nature to explore.
The city itself is nice, but definitely not a 'big' city, and you can definitely feel how conservative the area is once start to get outside of the greater Salt Lake area. But if you stick either in the metropolitan area, or outdoors it is a very pleasant place to live.
In summation: I wouldn't settle down here, but it is a great place to position yourself financially, with plenty of wilderness enjoy.

Subscription boxes for very specific fetishes. The market is there, and willing to pay.
Problems are:
a) Margins don't justify time required for a worthwhile product
b) The state of payment processing for anything "adult" is offensive
