I’m currently earning around 70K+ per month and lately I’ve been thinking a lot about building something for the future instead of just saving money in my bank account.

I’m confused between two options:

1. Start investing seriously (stocks, SIPs, mutual funds, etc.)
2. Start a small business or side hustle that can grow over time

The problem is I don’t come from a business background, so I’m not sure what’s the smarter move at this stage. I also don’t want to risk all my savings on something that might fail quickly.

I’m interested in online businesses, digital services, content, and things that can scale slowly while keeping my current income stable.

For people who were in a similar situation, what worked better for you in the beginning investing consistently or building a small business on the side?

Would love to hear real experiences and advice.

Title:
I’m 26M and my girlfriend 24F still talks to her ex every day and it’s starting to affect our relationship

Body:
My girlfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years. Recently I found out that she still talks to her ex almost every single day. At first I didn’t think much of it because she said they ended on good terms, but over time it’s started bothering me more.

They text throughout the day, send memes, and sometimes even call late at night. I tried bringing it up calmly and explained that it makes me uncomfortable, especially because she hides her screen whenever I’m nearby. She says I should trust her and that there’s nothing going on.

What really got to me was last weekend when we were out for dinner and she spent more time replying to him than actually talking to me. Later that night we argued about it, and she said I was being insecure and trying to control who she talks to.

I’m not asking her to completely cut him off, but daily conversations with an ex feel excessive to me, especially when it’s affecting our time together. I’m trying to figure out how to approach this situation in a healthy way without turning it into constant arguments.

Has anyone dealt with something similar in a relationship?
