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.
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
I just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills
Increasing tax rates are the reason I rolled over my 401k to a Roth. I don’t want to be 59 paying taxes on current income on withdrawals made from my retirement account.
Effective personal finance management matters more than the income source, whether from a job or investments. A certified financial advisor can offer tailored guidance to reduce expenses and boost income, optimizing your financial situation.
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. Just do your due diligence to identify a fiduciary one.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

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.
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.
I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.!!

Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks

I've kept much of my savings in cash for safety, but I'm unsure if it's right for retirement. Contemplating investing $400K in stocks, as I've heard investors can profit in tough times. Unsure about my next move.
Yeah, I’m also closing in on retirement, and I have benefitted much from using a financial advisor. I didn’t really start early, so I knew the compound interest of index fund investing would not work for me. Funny how I pulled in more profit than some of my peers who have been investing for many years.
This caught my interest. I worry that I have a couple more months before retirement, and I want to switch to using a financial advisor, but I don’t really know how to find one.
*Marissa Lynn Babula* is the licensed coach I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
So far I'm doing good, approaching retirement with about 800k in savings. Transitioning from building wealth to spending can be scary, especially with soaring inflation. My question is, after maxing out my tax-advantaged retirement accounts, what next?
In my opinion, some financial situations can be handled on your own if you research enough, while others are best navigated in consultation with a financial advisor
Agreed, the role of advisors an only be overlooked but not denied. I was shocked that I made more money with investing than hard work, not even my CEO income. Earning ''return on investment'' fetched me millions within a space of 5 yrs.(But I still enjoy working)
This is my fifth year after retirement. I’ve been following the 4% rule thing I saw on a RU-vid channel, but this isn’t really how hard I expected things to be. 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.

@@JacobReynolds-t7v Well, there are a few out there who know what they are doing. I tried a few in the past years, but I’ve been with Victoria Carmen Santaella for the last five years or so, and her returns have been pretty amazing.
@@PatyRamírez-z9z Thank you for this tip. it was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her. She seems very proficient and I'm grateful for your guidance.
The high prices have affected my retirement plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and build my savings. I worry that those who experienced the 2008 financial crisis faced fewer challenges than I do now. 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.
If you lack market knowledge, your best bet is to seek advice or support from a consultant or investing coach. Contacting a consultant may sound simple, but it's how I've managed to stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January. It is, in my opinion, the best way to get started in the industry right now.
Finding financial advisors like Sharon Marissa Wolfe who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
Well, I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises plummeting stocks that were once revered and I don't know where to go here out of devastation.
investing requires good experience and knowledge to carry out a good and successful trade, I have lost a lot trying to trade all by myself May I ask which investments are good??>>>>>>,.,
I understand your concerns, my friend. I recommend exploring passive index fund investing and expanding your knowledge in this area. Personally, I experienced both successes and challenges when initially seeking a reliable passive income......,,.,.,.,.
I've been diligently working, saving, and investing towards financial freedom and early retirement. However, the economy's downturn since the pandemic has significantly eroded my portfolio. My question now is: Should I continue contributing to my portfolio in these unstable markets, or should I explore alternative sectors?
Consider diversifying your portfolio across various market sectors. This approach helps balance your investments and mitigates the risk of significant losses.
It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $30k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.
That's really great. I've tried doing some research myself to hire a financial advisor, but it's really overwhelming. Could you recommend who you work with please?
Amber Michelle Smith has always been on the top of my list..She is regarded as a genius in her area and well knowledgeable about financial markets. I highly recommend you look her up if you want excellent collaboration.
A Friend told me Saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. is this a good way to potentially grow my retirement savings to about $3M over time?
I just Googled her name and her website came up right away. It looks interesting so far. I'm going to book a call with her and let you know how it goes.Thanks
I’m closing in on my retirement and I’d like to move from Minnesota to a warmer climate, but the prices on homes are stupidly ridiculous and Mortgage prices has been skyrocketing on a roll(currently over 7%) do I just invest my spare cash into stock and wait for a housing crash or should I go ahead to buy a home anyways
It's a delicate season now, so you can do little or nothing on your own. Hence I’ll suggest you get yourself a financial expert that can provide you with valuable financial information and assistance
Very true! I've been able to scale from $50K to $189k in this red season because my Financial Advisor figured out Defensive strategies which help portfolios be less vulnerable to market downturns
My consultant is ‘’Christine Jane Mclean’’ I found her on a CNBC interview where she was featured and reached out to her afterwards. She has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can look her up online if you care supervision. I basically follow her trade pattern and haven't regretted doing so.
I don't blame the new wife one bit! She has her entire life savings to potentially lose with this guy that has nothing but baggage at this point. This doesn't mean she doesn't or can't love him, but she's smart to protect her own future!
She shouldn't have married him. What's the point in marriage at that age when you won't be having kids together and she doesn't want to combine finances. Should have kept it at fun and dating and separate residences. He also sounds like a scammer/moocher to me.
I disagree. I think she can protect her past ie prenup and keep the past separate but they could still try to work together to build their future. Wife forgets that anything could happen ie she could become physically disabled or goodness forbid some terrible disaster and rely on him for all her care then it gets awkward because the foundation for building a future was lacking since "there was no upside for her" yet him doing well is great for her too.
Not really, he's 55. You can't buy back time. He can survive, but he probably won't have a comfortable retirement any time soon. You have to start as early as possible, meaning as soon as you join the workforce. Not saying he shouldn't try, but he's not in a great position at all.

@@elizabethvargas4165 Most people wouldn’t consider 55 with nothing saved a good position. Your health is no guarantee as you get older and you can end up in a pretty sad position if you can’t continue working.
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 study "division of property" as part of my business degree. This is real. Marriage today is very risky financially.
@@AmericanBulldogFit They have a pre-nup. The house is hers, he is "priviliged" to live in. Marriage is not financially risky when one has a pre-nup (generally though, its not needed, because both partners are contributing equal amounts of debt and income.)
@@thelogicaldanger The pre nup does not protect the marital home. You have no idea what you're saying here. Shall I consult my professor in law? Like I've said - I study this full time. You are wrong here. Those contracts protect assets prior to the marriage - the home is not one of them. By law - she's the legal owner. By law - they are now both entitled to 50% of the value of the home. From my experience, men are so delusional and have such a false sense of security when it comes to the law and what pre nup contracts actually protect.
@@AmericanBulldogFit He said she owned the home prior to their marriage, so it was included in the pre-nup. The legality of pre-nups and what is in them depends on the state, it may be true in your state that the home couldn't be legally included (even though she owned it prior to their marriage), it is not true in every state .
@@AmericanBulldogFit But I agree with you that men (and women) are ignorant of the law and often go to a general lawyer who throws a pre-nup together for them, when they need to be going to someone who specializes in pre-nups who will explain clearly all the available options.
Been down this road. I made a lot more than my ex-husband but he wanted me to put everything into our joint account, put up the money for the downpayment, confer with him when I wanted to buy a blouse, then wanted to be on the deed to the house ( without putting up a dime for the down payment). 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. He did not like that and wanted to know what would happen to his children. I told him he should have provided for his children. Advice: Either don't get remarried or marry somebody who makes close to what you make.
Well think about it. Both were divorced...she has a house, he has nothing. That makes sense when you look at what typically happens to the man in a divorce vs the woman. I rent the master suite in a house that is in the name of a guy I've never met, but pat my rent to his ex...who got the house in their divorce. This guy is about to be debt free, which is pretty good for a guy that is starting from square one after having his ex take most of what they had and paid the lawyers. I agree that either your a team or not. If you join your life to someone else (regardless of marital status) you need to start thinking in terms of us, not "me and maybe you".
I’m 60. Single. No retirement. I honestly feel it’s best for God to call me home before I have to face the humiliation of not being able to provide for myself. Anyone else feel this way? I have a job but with rent hikes I can hardly afford to live here and can’t put 50% of pay into 401k. I spent 10 years on disability. Terrible decision to sell my house. Depression plagues me but I make it to work. Embarrassed and ashamed. Women don’t want men in my situation. Not a pity party. Just hard truth. My call would be embarrassing here and Dave would not have much to say that can help. Young people listen to this man.
I suspect she doesn't have a high income at all. He is self employed and makes so little he's apparently never had an IRA or 401k. I suspect he does occasional odd jobs of some sort and his income is minimal. Anyone working a full time job would make 'a lot more' than him and I'd be concerned if I were his wife or girlfriend that he is really focused on her assets. Why doesn't he focus on improving his own situation?
Woman calls: I make $250k and have over $1M saved for retirement and a paid for house worth $350k and I'm planning on marrying a "self employed" man with debt and no savings. Wanna make sure my kids can go to college. Dave: get a prenup because of wealth disparity
I don’t blame her. Assuming they are both in their 50’s I don’t think it is crazy to wait for him to truly demonstrate fiscal responsibility before combining money
He came into the marriage broke, "self-employed" and in debt. The new wife is exactly right to keep it separate. He has the opportunity to save and invest huge amounts(more than 15%) now that he is debt-free and has a roof over his head. Just go with it.
Wow nice blue pill brainwashing. What does she bring to the table? Sounds like he's the one doing her a favor... Assuming they're the same age...no self-respecting man cares how many assets a woman has that frankly has very little to do with dating value...she should be ecstatic that she got someone to marry her at her advanced age. But this guy is a chump listening to his words looks like he makes a string of bad decisions with women. This is just more proof women expect you to share your money but they don't share theirs...
Those number of spouses that work together to achieve financial growth and success were most likely married at a younger age and began building early in their careers. For couples that marry in their later years, it's a different story. You want to protect your nest egg if you were financial responsible during your career.
Yeah, sucks to be him. He brings nothing to the table and she would be STUPID to share finances. He is better off using every cent he has to invest and build himself up. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
It is in our nature to think about what we did wrong. I should have, if only I did this, what about that, and so on. The key is to shift the mindset. 55 and zero saved doesn't have to mean anything. Change the mindset, create the action, and make a new outcome. Everything starts again when we decide to change the path. Keep fighting the good fight!
I wonder why she agreed to marry him. Based on what the caller is saying the wife doesn’t trust him financially. They could have decided to live together if she was only seeking live-in companionship.
@Eccentric Introvert The more I factor finances into dating for marriage, I feel like I'm scaling a mountain. My standards for guys (and myself) are even higher! Like jeez, we gotta have our lives perfect before we get married! lol
@Eccentric Introvert I got married at 31 and am now 36, doing just fine. Make sure you have the same values and get pre-martial counseling. You should be just fine.
A lot of men are bad with money. They get into debt to get a wife and wonder why she wants a divorce because it finally caught up to them. If I ever get married I’ll make sure I’m debt free with a cash emergency stash and some investments to better take care of a wife. People are raised to think debt is wealth when it’s really a burden one might not be able to pay back. These shutdowns prove one can lose their job at any time. People really need to educate themselves.
I admire the financial independence of people, But you can live better if you work a little more. After watching this I think there are people out there, on the extreme, who plan to die early just to be able to retire early. To each their own but to me retirement isn't just about not having to work, it's about having the freedom to do whatever you might reasonably want, such as travel, buying things, enjoying life, etc. I don't think I could retire with less than $3m in income generating investments, maybe $2m at the very minimum. I plan to work until I'm at least 45.
Nobody knows anything, you need to create your own process, manage risk and stick to the plan, through thick or thin while also continuously learning from mistakes and improving

I am instantly suspicious of people who, when asked a simple question, want to give you a long answer that begins with some version of, "What had happened...was...."
If the guy is a sole proprietor, it’s not in the woman’s best interest to combine the house because it exposes the house to potential lawsuits against the guy. If that’s the case, the woman is smart.
Even with a prenup, with no mortgage payment between the two of them, he should be able to start maxing out his 401k & IRA. It hurts to play catch up but he has an ideal situation here to recover from his past mistakes. I wish I was playing catchup without a mortgage payment each month! Lucky dawg!

No reason they can't work together and she keeps her home as in the prenup. Not fair if they were to divorce and the home equity is split. Hence the reason for a prenuptial agreement. I heard of scammers that marry as a way of stepping up.
When it comes to sharing funds later in life, my philosophy is don’t do it. She is sharing her home rent free which is very generous. They don’t seem to share the same attitude about finances which will probably be their downfall.

I never had that partnership with my ex-wife. It felt like I was swimming the ocean with an anchor tied around my neck. Divorce gave her 2/3rds assets and 2/3rds of my take home pay for 8 years of alimony. Four years through my alimony payments and my net worth has gone from $70K to $700K. A bad spouse can sink all dreams. I told my daughter and her husband how important it is to be a team.
Uh there's way less men trying to marry 50+ year old women than the other way around. There's a reason why she's the one with the money in this scenario. If he had money, his new wife wouldn't be in her 50s.
I think it's pretty common when people get married later in life. People that mingle their money are usually starting off together with nothing. It's two different situations. I find that people who are lucky enough to start out together making their fortune, just don't understand the folks that come together later in life and how difficult it can be to completely mingle money.

She's giving him an opportunity to build his own wealth seeing they have no debt. Why should she combine what she has already made for herself. 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.
The thing is, investing advice applies to all ages, it's just the older you are the less opportunity you have because you have less time (usually). You would just have to save significantly more, work longer, and expect to live on a lot less in retirement.
I don’t see why. Pretty simple. Save, invest, and live within means. Don’t spend money you don’t have. Seem universal to me and probably spoken in several dozen languages.
Dave's advice to him was the same he gives to people in their 20s: Once debt free, you invest 15% in retirement while paying off the house, then you can max them out afterwards.
Maybe I worded it backwards, I meant to say his channel helps people of all ages. I am saying as a whole, the RU-vid 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.
that's good... so he divorces her, he will get some money since she makes more than him. I predict the next 20 years, women will make more than men and still marry them.
I’m 45 and I have about $250k liquid in savings which I plan to put towards becoming a homeowner but based on the current high prices on real estate, do you suggest I hold from buying or do stocks for now?
investors are extra cautious right now. They want to make sure they’re getting a good deal given how much mortgage payments have gone up, and when they don’t feel like they’re getting a good deal, they’re backing out, so definitely looking elsewhere is a necessity
In my opinion, home prices will need to fall by at least 40% before the market normalizes. If you're unsure if to buy a house or not, it is best you seek guidance from a well-experienced advisor for proper portfolio allocation.
this is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But i work with. Aileen Gertrude Tippy and I have been working together for nearly four years, and she is excellent. You could proceed with her if she satisfies your discretion. I endorse her
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
I think it's got to be hard getting married for the 2nd time this late in life. It is probably really hard to have the same shared dreams and goals when you've spent so much of your adult life without the other person, and you potentially both have children with other people.
This couple is not “married”. Maybe under the legal system they are described as married, but NO. A marriage is where two people come together with love and devotion to each other, that they become ONE! That is what being married is about.
My question is, what does this guy really want? He starts out saying he wants advice on investing, but his whole conversation is about this 'woman' he married who won't combine finances.
If this 'man' simply does what women do in similar circumstances, he'll own 50% of his wife's assets in 3-5 years, and the divorce courts will guarantee it....most prenups become null/void after that amount of time...he just has to argue, 'equality',
@@grod805 I was married, once, and it was not for money. I would never marry again for any reason...I've known better for many years now. Some people never learn...
Dave's most important point was that you can still partner on finances and plans with a prenup in place. The point is communication and planning together. That's what they need, to be on the same page with planning.
Yup. Loves to hear himself talk : "..buy my financial freedom kit for $129.99.." Or, live well below your means, save, invest. There. Take my advice for free. He's no better than any other crooked televangelist.
@@danieldoucet9121 Do you have any idea how much time you waste doing it though? You arent becoming educated watching "You tube" and I am being generous on not calling you names. "Watch this, I saw it on RU-vid".......
55 and "no idea" is truly tragic...Thank goodness for Dave Ramsey and Chris Hogan who continue to increase financial education. A paid for house is at least something..
I'm sorry. If new wife has kids and she dies first, kids should get house. Period. Would be the same way if _he_ had the house and she was moving in with him. Of course, the right thing to do would be to give the surviving spouse a "life estate", so s/he can live there for the duration of their life but can't sell or pass to heirs.
Why must the kids get the house? 'Period' is not a reason. If her kids had major life challenges outside of their control, then perhaps some allowances should be made. But beyond that, they should not be automatically entitled to the house. My kids are the most logical heirs to my estate, but should I remarry, I could see some kind of split. If my new wife was not worth that, then why should I bother getting married to her?
@@jennifergottliebel-azhari149 no, you don’t owe anyone that. I don’t care if you gave me life, I didn’t ask for that. You wanted that! Not planning for your retirement, and then putting that kind of obligation on your children 👉🏻 makes you a horrible, lazy, and terrible person (AND parent!)! What are you teaching your child in return? Oh don’t worry about saving money and planning ahead! MAKE YOUR KIDS TAKE YOU ON. Rob them from having a life, and family of their own! NOW YOU ARE THE CHILD?!?!? That is called manipulation, and that is VERY unkind to do to your children. They should be off living their lives, and taking care of their family. NOT YOU. This is called consequences, and this is what happens when you spend your life being self centered, narcissistic, and not caring about other people! You’re a terrible person AND parent to put YOUR financial duties on your child! If someone CHOOSES to help you, there needs to be strong boundaries and rules. But if you think you can go through life, and never grow up, and someone else will afford you a cushy life in your retirement years . . . I won’t feel bad when you end up broke and homeless . You get what you deserve, and NOBODY, and I mean NOOOOOOOOOOOOBODY owes you being taken care of in your retirement years ESPECIALLY when you had a chance to help yourself and you did nothing instead!
I understand the new wife. Love me for me and not my money. Movie stars do it all the time. His new wife could be concerned about her assets if something happened to her. She makes good money and is providing a home. His attitude may change once he figures out how much she is actually worth. So I understand the trusts issues she may have.
I kinda see the reason why he divorced(or got divorced). He sounds like those who dont see reality or plan for somethinng at all. And even blaming ex wife for being not ready for retirement? Previous wife figured out that he is a loser after all years and left him. I dont think ex wife would’ve gotten anything from him anyway
He sounds like he leeching off her cuz at no time did he mention any bills he responsible for nor did he take the opportunity to specify his business. He is on easy street to building for himself- that’s why he married her and was okay with the prenup. She’s not requiring much besides him just being there.
My problem is spending money on other people. That is how I sometimes show my appreciation for them. My honey does the same thing. Between the both of us, if we cut out doing that, we probably could save a good chunk of money. It's sooo hard to get out of that mentality. That you are valued for more than what you can materialistically give to others!!
My husband and I agree, that the best thing that ever happened to us is when people stopped helping us when we were younger We managed with hard work and discipline to help ourselves Long story short we have 3 house, 2 are airbnbs.we are selling one now, other two are mortgage and debt free We live in one airbnb the other out Paid off our 2 trucks, no credit card debt We live on about 27,000 per year and we live well Stop helping people is how you really help them
Blue pill, simp. Broke as a joke. Spent years catering to a woman who cut him off at his knees. Ran back out got married again. No learning here. Geez.
I don’t think he’s completely happy with the wife... and wants advise on growing HIS money so he has an emergency fund in case he wants to leave her. I think he regrets getting married again.
@@conureron3792 I would correct that statement to, "He did get THE USE of a paid house out of it!" He likely will not develop ANY ownership interest in that house.
This call is my main issue with couples keeping separate finances. There is going to be a point where not working together is really going to show. They will be retired and she’ll wanna go to a fancy restaurant but there’s no way he can afford it... so what is the solution, she gives him a loan or acts like it’s charity? I’m all for the prenup if that makes you comfortable but if you’re not going to work together to ensure that you spouse- the person you want to stick with through thick and thin- feels supported then don’t get married. They are already married so they need to have real conversations about what retirement looks like together because for this man, he seems very anxious
yeah, no. separate finances are a good idea all the time, especially when someone makes way more than the other. if you want to go to a fancy restaurant, you can pay for both, if you have the money. if you want to go in a fancy vacation and he don't have the money, you can pay for both or pay a bigger ratio. you don't split the money in half if you make 3 times more than him, so he/she can spend as he/she wish. either you invest it, or save it, but if it's spending money, you spend what you earn.
My wife is 42 and only has $1200 for retirement and is counting on social security 🤲🏻 😳🤯😱 Fortunately I have a pension and retirement account...That she will also benefit from, But I keep telling her she needs her own money and not rely on my pension or Social Security because it probably won’t be there in 23 years
Sadly many people in their 30s have this mentality. Buy now and don't worry is a common mentality, our cultures great at producing consumers and bad at making investors.
Am 58 retiring next year but the thought of retirement gives me weakness. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you never imagined to happen. It’s so difficult for people who are retired and have no savings or loved ones to fall back on.
True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.
Even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect my funds and make profit from my portfolio this red season. I’ve made over $250k since then.
‘’Aileen Gertrude Tippy’’ is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find her webpage and necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
Sadly this is too common of a story in Trump's America. His policies have gotten a lot of folks in a world of hurt. This caller can't begin to heal until that man is finally out of office.
I just had my 25th birthday less than a week ago and I have a net worth of $60,000 and my only debt is my mortgage. It might seem silly but I feel behind.
