Is the Stock Market a Good Option?

I like thinking about a five year time horizon, which is also why I don't want to buy in where I am now in Seattle because the market is so inflated and maybe it will keep going up. Another exit is just if I get a place that I can rent, just rent both units or rent both places. And I love the idea of having a roommate. I feel like that's so smart because then the toilets are getting flushed. If there's a water leak, somebody's noticing it and I don't have to rely on friends and family to go by. So as long as it's not hindering your lifestyle, I say go for it.
