      One crucial aspect of earning profits from stocks is to avoid being frightened and selling them prematurely. It is vital to understand that stocks should not be treated as mere lottery tickets. Consider acquiring the assistance of a financial advisor to navigate your investments.

      This is why I've entrusted a fiduciary with my investment decisions. Many underestimate advisors until emotions lead to losses.

This has grown my portfolio to $780k, generating sufficient dividends for my household's needs.

    If you are planning for retirement Here are some key pointers. Firstly, kick-start your savings early to benefit from compounding. The longer your money has to grow, the better. Secondly, make the most of retirement accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs, especially if your employer offers a matching contribution - it's essentially free money. Thirdly, diversify your investments across different assets to mitigate risk. Think stocks, bonds, and real estate.

    I had initially planned to retire at 62, work part-time, and save money, but the impact of high prices on various goods and services has significantly disrupted my retirement plan. I'm worried about whether those who experienced the 2008 financial crisis had it easier than I currently am. The volatility of the stock market is a concern as my income has decreased, and I fear that I won't be able to contribute as much as before, potentially jeopardizing my retirement savings.

      This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

      @slightfimulator4888 Месяц назад

      If inflation exceeds the interest rate after tax, it's a loss. So for example if you are earning 5% interest and you pay 30% (average Australian marginal tax rate) then you are making 3.5% after tax. Inflation in Australia is 4-5% per year depending on which 12 month window you look at. Therefore keeping money in a high interest savings account is a loss. I do keep some money in such an account but only as an emergency fund, it is not an investment.

    I believe that having a part time job is a good way to prepare aged life rather than preparing retirement. I have a friend still energetically working at the age of 75. She is happy to be greatly valued in a society and enjoy a trip during her paid leave. Honestly, I am so inspired by her, I am preparing my aged life rather than retirement. Additionally, this would be a great way to save money to be used when my aged body started malfunctioning.
