buying TQQQ or UPRO have the potential to get to a million without losing it all on Options and FDs. They're triple leveraged funds that track QQQ or SPY. You could lose it all if the market dropped 30%+ in a day, Decay will make you will lose money if QQQ doesnt gain more than 8%/year.

I was looking at TQQQ but wasn’t sure how much to put in it. Was thinking 10k to start

140k is a ton of money at your age. Dont be an idiot.

Whatever you do, dont listen to 99% of the goobers on this sub (including me).

Look into LEAPS if you want to gamble with Options and leverage.

Considerer DCA'ing over the next few months/year. If you want to buy your 50k car, buy it. Then take the 90k and put it into LEAPS or TQQQ over the next 6 months (buy $15,000 per month)

Otherwise be smart and boring and just buy plain Vanguard index funds like VGT or VOO.
