Hi Anon,

Here's what you can do. You can go for REITs, other ETFs and bonds, but before you do that, I'd suggest you read up as much to understand what a Robo-advisor really does. Robo-advisory platforms assess your current financial position and recommend a portfolio strategy after reviewing your risk profile. These bionic advisors are still not very different from your ordinary financial advisors as both options will still have a management fee incurred for users. The difference lies with the amount, as Robo-advisors have lower management fees. And the best part is that they give you the most unbiased advice.

You can read here for a better understanding.

I work at kristal.AI, and my mojo is to help people make the right financial decisions. If you think I helped you, do give me "Thumbs up". If you think my response was biased let me know, I will work on it.

I hope this helps you make the right decision.

Wowee I didn't realize flight school was so expensive!

Are there any scholarships than you can look at? Or signing on with the company, and they sponsor at least part of it as part of a bond?

With a $2k pay for the next 6 years, and assuming it doesn't increase even with inflation, it's going to take a little more help to get $100k, unless you can save $1,500 12 6 = $108,000.

Mathematically it is possible to get to your goal, provided you save very aggressively.

That said, learn skills on the side, and see what additional income you can generate. $100k may seem like a big amount but trust me you can get there slowly but surely :)

The safest and best way to save that amount is to just save.

Spend less, and save aggressively. It...
