    I currently have around $250,000 in cash savings and I was advised to invest it in stocks. What long-term strategies should I use for investments to secure my financial future?

    • @WestonScally7614

      Its best if you buy growth/blue-chip/large caps stocks only. Also, its advisable you work with a financial advisor to help set up a well-structured portfolio so you don't get burnt in this volatile market.

      Opting for an inves-tment advisr is currently the optimal approach for navigating the stock market, particularly for those nearing retirement. I consulted with a coach when I needed to invest my $120K savings, and my portfolio surged by nearly 85% in 6 months. Highly recommended.

  • @HugoBergmann-lu4nd

    It's recommended to save at least 15% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

    • @cowell621

      I'll suggest you create a diversification strategy because building a good financial-portfolio has been more complex since covid. Recently my colleague advised me to hire an advisor, surprisingly I have accrued over $120K under the guidance of my coach during this crash. She figured out Defensive strategies to protect my portfolio and make profit from this roller coaster market.

      I totally agree; I am 66 years old, recently retired, with approximately $1.2 million 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, I didn't do all this alone, but with the help of a financial advisor. Having one is currently the best way to trade in the stock market, especially for people nearing retirement.

      She's still in trouble because her first thought wasn't responsible. She asked about a down payment for their house together. Then she goes into details. 15k of that being used for school. Oh and then she's going to have to get a car because she's in a lease, which is due soon, so she's going to have to have the money to buy that car. And then oh yeah the person she's going to marry has more student loan debt than he's going to be making per year. Yeah...glad she asked, because her head was already in the wrong place.

    I’m sorry but I’ve been penniless and it sucks. I have 25k saved --some in stocks the rest in cash in an emergency fund. I pay my monthly’s on time each month to keep my credit going up. Student loans and very very cheap car payment. No credit cards. I drive a lot as a result of work so a good car is a MUST!!
    I don’t see how spending every dime to pay off debt is cool🥺...I just can’t ever be penniless again. Nope! Can’t do it! Nope! Not interested! Eating at food banks and borrowing money for simple things, selling random house items on Criagslist-oh no I’m done with that.

      Tes West Agreed, Dave is all about paying off debt but I don’t think always that’s the way forward. My only form of debt is student loans and I’m not in any rush to pay it off because the interest rate is 2.8% meanwhile my index fund & individual stocks has brought me 9-11% return average. Umm, I’d essentially be losing money if I used my investing money to pay off my student loan. Ofcourse it’s important to me and I still pay above the minimum, but it’s not as crazy urgent as Dave makes out to be. That being said, CC debt and high car payments with crazy interest is best to avoid. Buy second hand cars, no new ones on finance. They depreciate the second you drive it off the lot. Literally the worst investment. Just a cash loss and only use CC if you know how to finesse it. No sense in racking up crazy CC debt, with high interest 🤦‍♀️. That’s not smart, all cash loss.

    a lease is only bad if you plan on buying the car after, or you found a car you love and want to keep it at least 8 years.
    If you don’t even count maintenance, and take a person leasing vs financing to buy, the buyer doesn’t win till year 8. Which they have a 8+ year old car, with miles, and no warranty. The leaser as a 2 year old car, full warranty, low miles. Which you have to be getting aggressive leases, payment is between 1%-1.3% of the MSRP, no more than 1.5%.
    Basically paying less than 50% of MSRP in over 36 months. Take care of the vehicle and you may even have equity at the end which you can sell an recover some of that paid money.
    So if you want a new car every 3 years,
    full warranty & no service bills,
    pay less in the short term,
    leasing is a winner all day.
    If you already know you love a car,
    and you want it forever, and will
    keep it till the wheels fall off,
    then buy! In 8 years, you will
    be winning over the leaser, and every year after that saving thousands.
    Knowing which one you are is the most important thing. Shoutout Deshone 💪🏻

    Whenever a man calls looking to pay off a fiancées debt, Dave tells them to get married and the misogynistic comments flood in, and people also call the man and Dave a simp. When a woman calls the tone shifts. I can understand that Dave May display a bias when talking about prenups, but he’s also a traditional person. When it comes to debt though, he is consistent. I think some people are just unhappy in these comments, or have been through a divorce and are resentful, or maybe you’ve just never found love to begin with. Regardless, you have to put yourself in the shoes of the people calling. If they get married it doesn’t make sense for one person to make money while the other lives pay check to pay check. If you combine household income, then you can also quickly tackle debt as a couple to move towards baby step 3, saving a couples emergency fund, house payments etc. I’d rather be a millionaire than worry about what other people think, especially people who are broke and have an opinion, as Dave would say.

With the down-payment I put on the car I got the payment down to $171 for 60 months. We got a killer interest rate, if we make minimum payments for the life of the loan we're only paying $750 in interest. Is that worth dropping $7500 to pay it off or let the loan ride and put that money elsewhere?

    She wasn't planning on using $15k from her savings to pay for school, she was definitely going to finance it. I would've financed at least half and put the other half in CDs, mutual funds, or a high yield savings account.
    Leasing a car isn't renting if you buy it out at the end. It gets you lower payments over a longer period of time. Never pay cash for cars. You get a lower interest rate for financing with the car company and you can put the cash you didn't spend on the car in a high yield savings account and make money on it, putting you ahead of the game in the long run.
    Or you can take out a 401k loan and pay for the car in cash, get your title in 4-6 weeks after purchasing, pay yourself back 5%-6% interest, protect that money from downturns in the economy while you pay it back, and if you lose your job you only need to pay back the fine and taxes. This is the best option for purchasing a car, not cash from your bank account.
