Investing is a form of gambling with managed risks, to be sure.

The alternative is losing most of your nut to inflation in a static savings or ultra conservative money market account.

You can buy SPY and do ok. Or if you want to get fancy, open an account with fidelity. They position you in the stocks/bonds/funds that make sense, and do all the decisions so you don’t end up holding the bag. This has been a ridiculously bad year on the market, but most years are better.
