    I sometimes use my ETFs to buy dividend and growth stocks for diversification instead of reinvesting in the same place. To each their own methods though. The good thing is that you’re investing in the first place and that’s what’s important. Salute for the content!

      Or better yet, have one.. For several years, I've been in touch with a coach, mostly because I lack the depth of understanding and mental toughness to deal with the ongoing market conditions. You lack the information necessary to succeed in a competitive market, not because you're doing anything wrong, but rather because of your lack of experience.

    Here’s the thing the Social Security number is grossly understated real inflation is not 2.7%, but more like 8%. The government does not want to measure correctly because it would bankrupt Social Security and other governmental programs. Just one of the ways that the game is played is when you go to the grocery store you buy 16 ounce can of something for one dollar but three months from now it’s 14 ounces but the price is $1.01 and the year later they come out with a new can and now it’s $1.40 but it’s the same product over and over the government in the manufacturers play the game and we lose.

      Our homeowners insurance went up $880.00 in 2023. Looks like since lumber increased, the City then increased the value of our home, then the insurance increased the value of our home and since lumber and everything else cost more, the insurance rate went up.
      We recently had a hail storm and although we didn't have enough damage on our home and auto, many did in our town. Waiting to see what the price increase is going to be. Concerned that they will be canceling a lot of us.

      When you start receiving social security you have to declare it as income.
      The longer you hold off, the more you receive per year.
      It's all calculated to the specific total amount for your anticipated lifetime no matter when you start collecting.
      You can figure out what your monthly check will be. Then you can look at the IRS tax schedule to see what tax bracket you'll be in.
      If you have any maturity and responsibility and you don't need that money until later, you can save it and invest it in CDs, or whatever
      instead of spending it.
      You never know what the democrats are going to do with the tax rates and social security.

    Inflation is being driven by big oil companies and the Federal Banking system, which is NOT Federal. The interest rate went from 3.47% to 8.75% on the loan we took out to do repairs on our house. So instead of $147 in interest a mouth it is now $395 in interest. Only the bank is making money.

    Hello Devin, may I ask you a questions. I don't understand why they keep saying the social security is going to run out in less than 20 years. The reason I don't understand is because their are people who don't use all of their social security benefits they are entitled too. I have a sister that passed away last year just one month of turning 65 years old. She had worked at least 40 years and always contributed to social security. She only received two months of her benefits prior to passing away. What the heck happened to all of that money she contributed to social security?

      It’s a pay as you go program. Current tax proceeds pay current benefits. It’s not a savings plan. That’s is why there is not a lot of surplus just sitting there waiting to be used.

    • @July.4.1776
      @July.4.1776 8 місяців тому +2

      One reason is the spousal benefit as a non working spouse can collect 1/2 of the working spouse even if they never paid a dime into social security. It’s simple math less people paying into the system vs more people drawing and living longer.

    • @susieq9186
      @susieq9186 8 місяців тому +2

      In addition to the comments below.....
      There are several other ways that people who never paid into the system can draw money from the system. Survivors (spouse and children). If you were married 10+ years and divorced, you can draw 1/2 of their salary and if they are deceased, you can get their full FRA salary. I heard that Dean Martin (Actor) had 6 divorced wives and all of them were drawing his full social security.
      AND.... I know for a fact that if you retire and have a young child, the parent gets more money paid to them. I think they got in the range of an additional $800 to $900 a month (I have 3 family members currently doing this).
      I had heard when social security was created, these things were not allowed.

    A 3 percent increase is a joke when you consider what went up and how much it went up. I love the the government can play with the numbers to keep the budget down at the expense of those drawing any form of Social Security benefits and the poor. Food prices, housing cost, medical costs and most consumer goods all went up. To a person on Social Security who can't afford to travel, the consumer price of gas means little. 'They' are trying to blame higher costs on gas but that doesn't explain why prices rise proportionally higher then the increase in gas. The answer is simple, corporate greed. Okay, so if gas went up .6 percent in a month, how does that explain a 4.5 percent or more increase in the cost of groceries that same month. At that rate, the price of groceries increased a whopping 54 percent! Explain why gas sent the cost of health care up 5.4 percent? Now tell me this, do you know anyone whose paycheck increased proportionally with the actual inflation rate. The CPI's should be divided into two sections: One for monthly expenses common to all people like utilities, groceries, household goods, telecommunication services, housing costs and fuel. The second for expensive and luxury items, like motor vehicles, jewelry, fashion wardrobe items like designer anything and consumer electronics (excluding those necessary for telecommunication).
