I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for...

You could also just save your money in the bank. I was in a similar situation few months back and today my money is down by more than 40%. They always make it sound so easy on YouTube and that's not always the case.

Smartvestor Pros are nothing special. Buy index funds or ETFs and save yourself a ton on management fees.

[anthonya]

Do not pay someone !% to manage your funds, open an account at something like Fidelity and select a fund.

[coldpond]

Take charge yourself. Educate yourself. Most large firms don't care once they have your money. 70+ years of knowledge. All the best.

i'm a fan of index funding. an S&P500 index are fantastic and have low expense ratios. mutual funds rarely beat the S&P500 over the course of 10+ years. and the expense ratios are lower than mutual funds.

[PurpleNGold]

Don’t pay those idiots that’s high rate. Put it in $VOO and sit back and enjoy the ride

[james-zrfi]

I'm interested in investing in alternative assets but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Can anyone provide some insights on their risks and potential rewards?

[Senzuberry]

Smart investor pros sounds like nonsense. Just buy index funds like VOO if you have no idea what to invest in.

[classicsciencefictionhorro]

SCAMMER ALERT: People are recommending fake advsors in the comments. Be careful.

[nakedshadows]

Don’t trust smart investor pro. Just do proven mutual funds, or index funds.

smartvestor "unpro". Not professional at all to try to get this caller's entirely portfolio and not just the amount she is specifically asking about. She is entirely right for being skeptical and concerned. Maybe a CD is not the best vehicle for the $100k, but depending on how she is going to draw from her nest egg there may have been a reason.

[prisicaleonard]

All thanks to Julie Christine Rush, always ensure starting up your investments with an FA, proper guidance and profitable investment is the key to financial freedom with no prior experience I have gone a long way investing with the guidance of my FA.

[AddilynTuffin]

Lost a fortune lnvesting in emerging companies. How are other people in the same market raking in over $200k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point.

[RebeenAmin]

So now it’s ok to invest with invistorpro bcs it’s part if ur establishment. I see let’s just pay 10k a year for something we can do ourselves

[davidloveusa]

Unless I missed something, Linda wants to invest (needs smart vestrpro) for her 100K investment, but the smart vestpro wants to charge her based on her over all assent which is a million .she is not investing all, probably her big chunk of money is on her house, so what to got to do the pro do about her house or saving account money?

[joshuajohnson]

Never ever trust someone else with your retirement!

[djpuplex]

Go see a smartvestor pro he can immediately turn that $100k to $98k. 1.25% that's nuts buy a index.

[jimmymcgill]

They want her to move everything to them, and charge 10k a year?
Just put it in an index. It would cost less than a tenth of a percent. Or she can keep investing in what she is already investing in.

[michellemorford]

If the smart pro was smart, he or she would listen and help her with the amount she wants to invest.
It takes time to build trust and the relationship to earn the right to manage more of her money.
This pro is obviously focused on his or her sales and missing the whole picture.
Treat people right and your business grows organically with your clients supporting it.
