    I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Brooke Miller.

      I completely agree; I have approximately $650k in external retirement funds. I am debt free and have very little money in retirement funds compared to the total value of my portfolio over the past three years. To be honest, the Fin-advisor can only be neglected, not rejected.

    Its worse here, our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.

      People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.

    • @Deboramichael1
      @Deboramichael1 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.

After I cashed out a lump sum, I still have about $760k left, but at this rate, and with how the market is (we were putting money away in an index fund), I’m starting to get worried.

      Amazingly, you were able to save that much during your active years. Not a lot of people can save that much in a lifetime. But now you are retired and depend on your investment, it’s best you redistribute your capital, so you are not left devastated during a market crash or recovery. To simplify the process, you could allocate your resources with the help of a financial advisor.

    The high prices have affected my retirement plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and build my savings.

The stock market's volatility, combined with a reduced income, makes me anxious about having enough for retirement.

      The retirement crisis will worsen because many can't save due to low wages, inflation, and high rent. Investing in stocks with a good strategy can help, but it's important to be cautious. I advise you to get a financial advisor for guidance on entry and exit points.

      Nope. The house becomes the marital home. If they divorce - it becomes 50/50 of the value on the home. Go look for your own self. It's the truth. Debts also become 50/50. Therefore, if he has a lot of debt and sues (pending no adultery) - she picks up half his debt load. Same for her investments that she's made during the marriage.

I put the house in a land trust for my children, which he did not want to sign. If anything happened to me, he would be able to live there until he died then the property would go to my children.

      @@JK20239 I live frugally and have not traveled in years. I do not take vacations. I recently purchased a used car out of necessity so now I have a car payment that I didn’t have before. Add auto insurance which is over $300 per month- outrageously high here in Michigan and always has been - maybe the highest in the country. Apartment - $920 per month. My Soc Sec does not even fully cover monthly rent, car payment, and auto insurance. I am not complaining. I do not mind working but I would like to phase out of caregiving into something else that is in alignment with my joy and passion. I have been a self-employed senior Caregiver in private homes for the past 14 years. I’ve still got a lot of living to do and do not feel my age except for arthritis flare ups. Best wishes to you.

      Maybe I worded it backwards, I meant to say his channel helps people of all ages. I am saying as a whole, the TH-cam finance section seems to be directed towards people of younger generations. It's a bunch of young people telling you how to make money while they are 23 and single with no kids or a mortgage and can afford to take a risk a lot easier. These youtubers some how come up with money and they don't really tell you how they actually got it, I am an electrician working crazy hours trying to make ends meet while going home and making videos after work, I am kind of an "average Joe" that is making videos for fun trying to show everyone that you don't have to be rich to be financially successful. They never talk about the person in their 40's with 3 kids and a mortgage trying to figure out how to better himself/herself and their family. This channel does, and I meant to say that in my comment. I just wish these other young youtubers , would incorporate or talk directly to the older generations needing advice and help instead of just directing their entire focus towards the younger generations.

I agree with her keep it separate but going forward put a percentage of her income with his for future goals. I know of many cases where women combine assets that they came into the marriage with and they ended up broke because the husbands mismanaged funds. Polina Porizkova is perfect example of what happens when you combine money not earned by husband. Now her husband is deceased and he cut her out of his will after she brought in $6 million and he had only $3 million. Sad story.
