This answer sounds more like “if an average person were in that situation” than “if young Warren and Charlie were”

There's nothing hypothetical about this scenario.
The guy asking the question is clearly describing his own situation.

“Nobody would get paid for this advice” EXACTLY!

"Timothy" Ferris. The four hour investor???

The flaw in the question is if you did make 1 million before 30 you likely either own an business or have a equity stake in one. ie partner in a law firm or car dealership etc. So in reality your probably better offer expanding that business or your equity in said business.

If anything real-estate for the accelerated depreciation.

Basically leave investing to the professionals and focus on your day job. Not very inspiring but I guess it’s realistic

Also considering working with a financial advisor to create a diversified portfolio.

Who on earth finds themselves in this condition currently? A million dollars, plus 18 months in savings, a full time job paying all your bills and a complete amateur investor?! Of course he said to just put the money in some index fund..

Charlie is thinking: ‘another useless, dumb question. When is this session finished?’
