26M, live at home, $2,500 to invest every 2 weeks — where should I be putting it?

Hey all, I’m a 26-year-old guy living at home with no major expenses right now. I’ve been fortunate enough to be in a position where I can invest about $2,500 every two weeks, and I want to make sure I’m using this opportunity wisely.

Right now I don’t have any dependents, my debt is minimal, and I’m trying to think long-term (early retirement, building wealth, maybe real estate eventually).

Given the current market environment, would you prioritize maxing out retirement accounts, dumping into a brokerage account, or something else entirely? I’m also open to diversifying into things like REITs, ETFs, or even more risky stuff if it makes sense.
