It doesn't take much to better your personal finance. Think about what the average person does: -Finances too much house -Finances too much car -Don't review spending closely -Eats out/orders take out a lot -Don't contribute enough for full 401(k) employer match Need I go on?

If you just stick with investing in broad based index funds you will never have to worry about speculating which sector will take off! The beauty is you are automatically diversified. I have a pie with M1 and just invest consistently. m1.finance/NeoSSNhSnrmS

Had you bought S&P 500 ETF at the market peak in 2008 (right before a 30%+ decline) and held. Your total return today would be ~263% (9.3% annualized) after just over 14 years. Market timing is irrelevant.

Referring to the S&P 500 index. "Keep buying it through thick and thin, and especially through thin.” -Warren Buffet
What society considers risky: - Investing in the stock market - Buying a rental property - Starting a business What society does: - Takes out $100k in student loans - Buys their first $50k “big boy” car - Max high interest credit cards This is WHY most PEOPLE are BROKE.

Only 22% of the stocks in the S&P 500 outperformed the index itself from 2000 to 2020. #invest #index $VOO and $VTI

Dividends are not free money, stop wasting time chasing them. Chase total return and invest more.
Traditional Mindset: Save and invest what is "leftover" after bills, expenses, etc. Growth Mindset: Save and Invest is priority, paying yourself first. Aim to invest 15% minimum, then budget *after* that.

Stay the course! When you own stocks, you own for long-term anyway don't forget.
"Say you need $55,000 per year to live off of in today’s dollars, but you plan to retire in 25 years. Calculating for inflation, you would need to spend $115,000 per year in retirement to maintain your current lifestyle." #invest Thank you for perspective @moneyguyshow

Google search: "stock market overvalued 2012” on you can find plenty of stories discussing how overvalued stocks were in 2012. The S&P 500 has since returned 286.32%. Lesson in point.
