Is there a reasonably priced VESA-monoitor-arm attachable whiteboard out there? Something like this[1] that's cheaper, or should I just build my own? [1] https://www.ergotron.com/en-us/products/product-details/98-4...

Firstly, it was "low to medium" risk, not "low" risk. Secondly, pretty much any reputable ETF (or combination of ETF's) can quite easily achieve this over 30 years.
Most ETFs have returned about 7-8 % average long term (before allowing for inflation). Not a bad return, but very different over 20 years from 10-15%
I have switched from working in bedroom, to working in a dedicated office, to working in a co-working space, to working from home in a dedicated office. 1. Working from the bedroom is hell. It's fun for the first few months but then you are likely to have severe eye strain and become very sleepy. 2. Working from a real office sets boundaries and forces a schedule. You have to wake up at xx:xx time and drive to office…
Do you mean actually working from bed? If not, I don't understand this. I work from a spare bedroom and it's as good as any office. It is an office, in a way.
That is not a good idea.
The thing about clothes is that they're part of a routine. I.e. I wake up, make some tea, put some fresh clothes on, turn on my computer, and now I'm in work mode. Ideally. In practice it doesn't always work like that, but it's still far better than waking up and just sitting down in front of my computer. Having a routine is really important for not getting lost.
They don't have to be business clothes or whatever, but just something fresh for the day. I'm the sort of nerd that wears chinos and a button up shirt even though I work from home and don't have video calls.

In addition, blurring work and personal life isn't good. You ideally don't want to work in the same room that you sleep, but this can't be avoided sometimes.
Variety is also key. Sometimes I go out and get work done from a local cafe for a change of pace.

> Studio apartments aren't a thing anymore? Where did I claim that? I think you’ve misread. I said _some_ young people. How have you expanded that to think I was writing _all_ young people? Not everyone can afford a studio to themselves. This does not imply studios do not exist.
A studio apartment is a one room apartment that usually has living space, bed and kitchen utilities all in one room. I’m not sure if you understood that. People tend to go for them because they’re cheaper.

I would never use those to write something important in a notebook. I did this and left it in my bag, the sun shone on the bag and because of the heat most of my notes got erased. Well because friction = heat, so it was the same thing.
You can get it back by throwing it in a freezer, at least I was able to when I should prove someone wrong... :-) (pilot frixion, blue, bought in Norway)

Why is the initial investment so high? Is there a reasoning behind it?

There is no reputable ETF that will give you 15% return. Even 10% real return is incredibly unlikely.
