13288794, Got the starter pack: online savings, 2 yr T-note and CD, and 401k

I made some money from my side hustle last year so I copped a 2 yr CD and T-note
I realize this is the epitome of scared money but I really didn't want to start playing Gordon Gekko
I do the max 401k at my job with their match (Vanguard)
and I put every dollar I save into the 1.9% online savings account

Other than that I'm clueless

I'll watch CNBC and Bloomberg sometimes and just think back to that quote
"If you're reading about it in the paper, it's already too late"
Them, the magazines, the WSJ, all that business media
I feel they're just selling a dream, and I'm not buying it
