How are you earning 3% from cash?If you say treasuries... I'm going to say you should be posting "real" returns, that consider inflation in the results.

Always remember, rules of thumb are simply guidelines. They provide a proximity.Nothing replaces a true assessment of your own lifestyle goals and needs and what it takes to get there.You wouldn't look at a map and just head south.Instead, you would use Google Maps and utilize the turn-by-turn to help avoid detours and make the best use of time.

The rules of the game have changed in the last 18 months, with interest rises and inflation, and several of these traditional guidelines need revision I.e. 7 ,8 and 9.

In “Just Keep Buying: Proven Ways to save money and build your wealth”, Nick challenges much of the conventional wisdom in personal finance and investing. He uses data and evidence to answer some of the biggest questions that people face when it comes to money.Here are 7 of the many insights you will glean from the book:1. SAVE LESS THAN YOU THINK. Maggiulli shows that saving too much can actually be detrimental to your long-term wealth, as you miss out on the power of compounding and the opportunity to invest in income-producing assets. He provides a simple formula to calculate how much you need to save based on your income, expenses, and desired retirement age.2. DON'T TRY TO TIME THE MARKET. Maggiulli explains why saving up cash to buy market dips is a losing strategy, as you are likely to miss the best days of the market and pay higher taxes on your gains. He also debunks some of the common myths and indicators that people use to predict market movements, such as the yield curve, the CAPE ratio, and the presidential cycle.3. SURVIVE THE CRASH. Maggiulli reveals how to prepare for and cope with market crashes, which are inevitable and unpredictable. He advises readers to diversify their portfolio, rebalance regularly, and avoid panic selling. He also shares some of the psychological tricks and tools that can help investors stay calm and rational during turbulent times.

📈📉 Dollar-cost-averaging can be a great way to invest long-term when you want to worry less about the volatility of the market, invest with cash flow in mind, put a plan on "auto-pilot" and lessen the worry about “is this the right ‘time’ to invest”. ♟️ This strategy tends to work well for those BIG, long-term goals like retirement and college savings. These are often harder goals to pinpoint the “how much do I need” question as there are so many years (often decades) to build, and countless variables in the mix. But by starting early with a set amount that can fit your budget, DCA can amplify your strategy as you are always buying into your investment (whether up or down), and by doing so, tends to lower your average cost over time. 🧐 To discover some of the comparisons of dollar-cost averaging to lump sum investing, see attached a quick article running through the pros and cons of each. And to see if it’s a good strategy for your situation, give us a call at 573-693-1775.https://lnkd.in/g2m6QgND

Are you in your 20s or even younger? Here's a secret to securing your financial future: start investing NOW! 💼💰Why wait until you're older to build wealth when you can get a head start today? Here's why investing young is crucial:1. Compound Interest Magic: The earlier you invest, the longer your money has to grow. Thanks to the power of compound interest, even small investments can turn into significant wealth over time.2. Risk Tolerance: When you're young, you can afford to take on more risk because you have time to recover from any potential losses. Take advantage of this by investing in growth assets like stocks, which historically offer higher returns over the long term.3. Achieving Financial Goals: Whether it's buying a home, traveling the world, or retiring early, investing early sets you on the path to achieving your financial goals faster.If you have questions about investing, reach out anytime for any helpful informationhttps://lnkd.in/ekE9Xuyg
