Investing in Roth IRA can be a good choice since they are funded with after tax dollars, your contributions can grow tax-free over time. When you withdraw money from your Roth IRA in retirement, you won’t have to pay tax on it, which will help you keep more of your hard-earned money. I retired with 5 million dollars

I just switched up my Roth IRA to 50% SCHD, 25% SCHX, 25% SCHG, and my Roth 401k is 70% vanguard S&P 500 index, 20% vanguard growth index, and 10% vanguard international index. Seeking best possible ways to grow $350k into $1m+ before retirement, I'm 55.

I believe the retirement crisis will get even worse. Many struggle to save due to low wages, rising prices, and exorbitant rents. With homeownership becoming unattainable for middle-class Americans, they may not have a home to rely on for retirement either.

Financial investment can be emotionally exhausting/frustrating in a case where inconsistency in trade wins is much. Positive results are guaranteed more if one works with a reliable professional. My most sincere take though!! Grateful to Jane Marie Kunak

Sounds encouraged I believe individual should always adapt to Strategies of Trading multiple Stocks assests . Rather than depends on a single income. I'm a nurse and my major earning recently were generated in Trading Government reserves / ETF Commodities.

For salary earners having a passive source of income is the best thing you could have, because aside the the fact that it isn’t always enough you could lose your job any day at any time, have something to fall back to is crucial, for me it is trading the Forex and crypto market and no I didn’t have that much knowledge to begin to earn that’s why I said passive income, I leave the profit making to the pro like my Advisor 'Catherine Morrison Evans', who has been doing a wonderful job

Buy a good cross section of an economy and you should do well over the long term. The market wil be high in 10 to 20 years, and significantly higher in 30. It's almost impossible for a company with no debt to go bankrupt.the U.S. is about 50% of the global market place, Pay yourself first. It's time in the market, not timing the market. last year I invested 100 grand in the S&P 500/ an allocation fund (with the help of my advisor Rita Wildrin Mora of course) and made 370k, but guess what? I put it back and traded with her again and now I’m rounding up close to a million.

This time I want to invest in something that I can liquid cash easily. Easy access to invest and withdraw on my own and of course has good appreciation value. I have to balance my risks by diversifying my investment. It’s more better this way!

Very helpful video for getting started. A Teenager’s Guide on how to Invest Like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger is a great book for those who want to learn more about investing.

I like how it explains the different risk with the relationship of risk. i think it should touch on tax responsibility a bit, just to have people think about.

[nonyabusiness]

This video was great it goes over very basic terms and explains them. Now I have an idea of how I can further research investing. Thank you.

I'm EXTREMELY new to investing and I'm well aware of the market tanking because of the Corona Virus thing. My strategy, for NOW, is to find the normally good, solid stock that has taken a beaten and buy THOSE. Then I'll just have to wait. In the long-term, I need to learn HOW to invest, balance out my budget so X amount of money goes INTO investing rather than sitting idle in the bank making .01% interest and realize that what I'm doing is NOT a get-rich-quick

A few months before the 2008 crash my cousin said he had all cash and felt like he was missing out. I advised him to put 20% of his cash in every 3 or 4 months, so after a year or so he would be fully invested w/o risk of invest all at a peak. We he put 100% in a few weeks prior to Lehman Bros collapse. <BAD>. He didn’t sleep well for quite a while. Fortunately the market eventually came back and more, but I think dollar cost averaging is a good policy policy
