    The effects of the downturn are beginning to sink in. People are being impacted by the long-term decline in property prices and the housing market. I recently sold my house in the Sacramento area, and I want to invest my lump-sum profit in the stock market before prices start to rise again. Is now the right moment to buy, or not?

      The stock market is likely the best smart investment. However, if you are thinking of investing in the stock market and you are not well versed, its advisable to work with a financial advisor who is an expert to guide you through the process. this way you could make more profit with less risk

      The truth is, the role of an investment advisor can often be overlooked but should never be underestimated. After facing a significant portfolio loss in 2020 during the COVID pandemic while trying to manage my investments on my own, I decided to reach out to an investment advisor. At that time, I had about $126K left in my portfolio. Now, without having to lift a finger, I'm semi-retired, working only 7.5 hours a week, and I'm just 15% short of my $1 million retirement goal thanks to my subsequent investments.

      @ That’s not true. For example, someone making $17 an hour at a warehouse can set aside money from each check, so that they can invest. Even if it’s $40 bucks out of each check, twice a month. In 5 months they’ll have $400 ready to start. Someone can fund a brokerage account with $700 and learn to trade futures. On a low salary, they can set aside $50 each check or use a portion of their tax refund. On a low income, it is possible. People can also increase their income by obtaining certifications in fields that are in high demand…there are programs like WIOA that will pay for someone to become a certified electrician. $0 out of pocket. More income allows more room to invest. Goodwill offers programs like these also. There’s always options, it just requires dedication, sacrifice and research for those who want to change their circumstances .

      Literally anything is better than nothing. One for example my sister and I both got a $700 inheritance from a family member and our dad invested it. Just checked it yesterday. $6,700. It's been there since like 2003 so it's not stupid rich but way better than the $700. Invest it and forget it. And that would be a lot more if I put money into it( I put money in different ones) so that $700 by itself has done pretty well and it'll continue to grow.
      Saving doesn't make you rich, investing does. Money that can always be work. Plus if you're working then it's even better. That and increasing income is how you can do better financially.

    Just starting out with investing, and I’m already coming across some mixed advice on asset allocation. People say ETFs and index funds are great for covering the market, but I’ve heard they can also include weaker stocks that might dilute returns. I’m aiming more for financial independence than just traditional retirement, so I’m wondering if I should be more selective or if I'm maybe overthinking it. Already made some rookie mistakes too, like selling during a recent dip, which led to unexpected capital gains taxes

      I’ve been there myself, especially as I got closer to retirement. The impact of market dips felt heavier, so in a panic, I shifted a lot of my portfolio from stocks to bonds, thinking it was safer. But I didn’t anticipate the capital gains taxes I’d owe or that I’d miss out on the rebound. That mistake alone cost me more than I realized until I spoke with a financial advisor. With their advice, I restructured my investments, used them tax-free to secure real estate, and the rental income covered the debt while the properties appreciate. I’m now on track to retire with around $4 million, something I might’ve missed out on entirely if I hadn’t sought advice. getting it right early can set you up for a far more stable future

Trump created a dependency which is not sustainable. At the end of the day, it was your money. So what did you get out of it? Higher prices! And that didn't help post pandemic either when inflation was a global problem.
      Also, most of his MPF bail outs didn't go to the farmers that needed it the most. Many recipients were very wealthy or farmers in states that were not affected by his trade war. Farmers were also getting paid twice.
      Rather than waste taxpayer funds on needless bailout programs, Congress should've increased funding for farmers offering to take steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are designed to help them better withstand the extreme weather caused by climate change. But nope, the government would rather continue f the average American while politicians continue to fill their pockets.

      You can get started with an ETF like the S&P 500, it's like a group of good stocks so you don't have to pick individual stocks and the S&P has has historically performed really well. As for a start amount: even $20 is a good start! Select an amount of money you can spare every month to be automatically deposited in your investment account, and gradually increase that number when you're able.

      Yes.. agree with the comment made by Vanessa. Don’t over think it. Start by taking your first 100 or first 1000 and put it into something traditionally less volatile like S&P 500 and just watch over one year what it does. When you’ve got 100000 + in stocks then you can over think it, get an advisor if you need, etc.
      As for individual stocks, I started looking for opportunities and did buys here and there w long term in mind. It’s fun to see how it grows long term.

If you do follow Dave Ramsey and pray, but if you're just paying rent and the wifi, you should live on the bare minimum you can, save money to invest. ETFs are a great starting point for people without time. But if you ever get the opportunity, get yourself into a duplex/triplex and rent out the other spaces. It's the most surefire way to build and keep wealth that I'm aware of. Now, I'm not saying any of that is easy, but not everyone is rich for a reason.

      @ Not paying bills in order to invest isn’t smart. Folks. If you don’t have money to invest… don’t invest. Please realize: This bff has money. Don’t be foolish listening to people making bank advising you to emulate them when they are making YT videos as their source of income. With her number of subs… and views and other social media side jobs and her publications and her appearances…and her sponsors and possible patreon…she has investment capital. You probably don’t.
      You are NOT her. But she’ll sell you her book.

      ❤work you ask off and promote, work a second job, make things you're .good at and sell them. Just a few ideas we single moms do to thrive and get out of poverty as we provide for our kids! While ex husband's lie as they bring in millions!
      ❤WORK AND SAVE! THEN INVEST!😊 delay fun and instant gratification so that you can live comfortably later!😊
