finally made an M1. going to move move from me and wife's savings to this. we've been holding far too much money in checkings/savings as inexperienced investors and missed out on great growth for the last 5-8 years.

Great move just remember, stocks don't always go up. They will over time but it's not always a guarantee that they will rise exactly when you want them to.

no doubt. the money i put in will not be for quick flips, but for longterm growth as basically a secondary savings account. not planning on touching it other than rebalancing every so often. goal will be to put 1-2k in the m1 every month, and another 1-2k monthly into indexes/ETFs on my fidelity IRA. Any other money, maybe 500-1k month will go into my other fidelity and TDA investment accounts to take more risks with. I also have 2 old 401k's that are vested that continue to grow (they're bouncing back since March) and another newer fidelity 401k w/ my current employer. Trying to completely revamp how we do finances. we have 2 nice cars paid off, wife has no other debt and she also makes six figures. my med school debt is significantly decreased from large lump sums I paid on it end of 2019 with still a nice emergency fund built up. Feeling more free and willing to be more aggressive in terms of making our money work for us and not working until i'm 60.

That extra 2.5k+ ... you are talking about....you may want to think about velocity banking as well (if you are home owner). A case can be made for both imo ( knocking out house debt vs investing) Just depends on your goals.
