    Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.

    Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.

    It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

    The difference is that people are using cards 10x as often as cash, if they use cash at all. The difference in actual money put into savings is exponential. Saving physical change also requires time and effort to get it exchanged into a usable currency, while the electronic method is automatic and immediately usable. That automation also means that it starts earning interest sooner, instead of just sitting on your shelf and losing buying power by the month. George is right in that saving physical change isn't a long-term strategy at all, though I agree with the article that it's a good way to teach kids how to save.

    It's recommended to save at least 20% 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 20% 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.

The other card is big box membership also in which I only use for budgeted expenses (mostly auto gas). The miles rewards pays for our annual trips and big box pays for yearly paper projects. I pay them off monthly, never pay interest and only use for budgeted expenses. Takes discipline but works for me.

    Biggest way is to set an automatic transfer from your checking account (through your checking account) on payday into an investment account, and with that, set up an automatic investment in your investment account using the automatic transfer. If its timed correctly, your checking account should show a lower balance (as it includes the pending transfer), thus making you think you have less money to spend every time you check it on payday. If you are paid every 2 weeks or every month, the payday should be the same day every month. If its 2 times a month, then it gets a little bit trickier to time the illusion.

    They need to talk about splitting up your paycheck with direct deposit into accounts at different banks. I don't know how people budget if they have the entire check directed deposited into one account. My check is split up 7 ways between 3 banks. My emergency savings account has $25 bucks directed deposited into every payday. One checking account I use solely pay by car insurance/maintenance. And with a $100 bucks a paycheck I always have enough money squirreled away to pay the insurance / oil change etc. Why separate banks? Because it's just a little bit harder to dip into and steal from the emergency fund or car fund when another account gets low. I have one account solely for everyday spending. Grocery/dining out/gas etc. that one usually gets emptied out quick but I know what I can do for 2 weeks and then I wait until payday. One account solely for mortgage and utilities. Aim to direct deposit a little more than half the total dollar amounted needed for the month. Then boom you've always got a little bit more than needed. You also catch up even more when there is 3 paychecks in a month.

    I’m putting 700$ a month into a hysa with automatic deposits weekly. 75$ on Tuesdays and 100$ every Friday. 29, make 150k a year. Bought my home in 2020. Started following Dave Ramsey last year and paid off about 40k in debt majority of that being credit cards. I hope to retire at 50 please Dave Ramsey is my next favorite person to snoop dogg.

    A credit card with cash back works for me, I only use it to buy things that I need and will buy with real money, examples gas and groceries, then I pay it off a week before my due date, by doing this I never pay any interest but the opposite, get a little free money doing what I already had to do.

    Quick Tax Strat: If you ballin (around more than 50K in savings a year): In order of priority or concentration of savings: 20+ years way from retirement: Roth 401K & Brokerage after contribution CAP. 10-20 years away: Roth > Traditional > Brokerage Less than 10 years away: Traditional > Roth > Brokerage If not ballin (around 30K or less a year in savings): Traditional > Roth > Brokerage (doesn't matter how long you have until retirement, you don't make enough money to take advantage of tax benefits). For a full explanation: If you are a solo 401K, it essentially means you can put 69K Total (in 2024). Depending on if its ROTH or normal 401K, your strategy differs. 15-25 years away from retirement: Get a Roth 401K and put as much as possible, as the tax benefits are significantly better than normal 401K. If you can max out a Roth 401K, then do it. Less than 10 years away from retirement: Normal 401K, then only put it up to a certain amount till you can reasonably expect to withdraw around 50K (I expect this to be the limit for a 0% marginal income tax bracket in 20 years) a year every year in retirement. Using the 4% withdrawal rule, its 1.25 million, or if you use 8%, its 625K. Less than 10 years away from retirement means you likely won't have enough time for compound interest to take advantage of the tax free withdrawal of a Roth 401K. If you want to hedge around tax rate changes, or have a lot of savings to spare, do a combination of both (and start taking out from Normal 401K , while delaying the ROTH 401K until later, after you exhaust your normal 401K.) If you are mega ballin, and have even more savings to spare, then put the rest into a normal brokerage account. Depending on how much you make, the capital gains tax on a normal brokerage account may be significantly less than a normal 401K (as all normal 401K withdrawals are taxed at normal income tax levels, which means after 110K in withdrawals, you will be paying significantly more taxes compared to capital gains). The tax rates are 0, 15%, and 20%, which (where 20% is 500K+ in income), so no matter what, it will always be cheaper to pay capital gains than the normal income tax rate. If you want to know the break point upon which a 401K withdrawal has more tax than a brokerage account, its 200K (as of the current tax rates, that's when it starts going over 20% income tax).

    Here’s an odd one that helps: have all your paycheck and everything else direct deposited into your Savings Account ( not your checking)! That way you have to think twice before you spend it. Also have any ‘extra’ money you get, tax returns, etc. directly deposited into your Roth IRA to invest it.

    You should do a video on fractional reserve banking and our debt money system. Since all money is created from debt, and money is un-created when debt is paid back, if everyone paid back their debts, there would be no money in existence. When you factor in interest, there is more money owed than there is money in existence. You would be doing a great service on blowing the whistle on the biggest scam of all time.

    All of the article’s tips assumed that the reader was going to be disciplined enough with their finances to actually do those tips to see some actual results. Funny how George has to pick and choose when people are going to be disciplined so that he can still tout the Ramsey Team mantra about people can’t possibly be disciplined with credit cards. He slips up a little too with the free 100% return on the 401k (because a 100% return is always better than paying off debt, unless you’re talking about payday loans of dealing with loan sharks) and slighting people who save their change after spending cash. The Ramsey NPCs’ minds may get blown when they hear that since they believe that you’re supposed to use cash >90% of the time, right?

It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong.
