    No doubts , A good way of growing and saving your money is through investing . You don't need to have much before you can invest. "That little money you have now can make you millions if you invest it wisely". I wasnt financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing is a grand choice I made.

    I dont have any impuse control issues but the automatic saving account is new to me. Imma check that out. I already had acorns. Its good. But they stopped working with my bank i assume because its a small credit union . Not being able to use my debit card kind of ruins why I had acorns in the 1st place. so I gotta either find a bank they rock with or let them go and stop using it. But if acorns works with your bank its good i was it it about a year

    I went from living in a trailer with holes I could see the grass growing under to now being my own bank for most of my needs. Be frugal, only buy what you need. Pay your credit cards in full each month. I save 10% of all my income for years rain or shine. Buy a decent safe and keep some of your money at home. Do not trust banks especially nowadays. Banks are in trouble and can declare bank holidays at any time. A bank holiday means they shut down and you cannot access any money. And when you get to be your own bank, save but save in the form of precious metals like gold and silver. Good luck y’all!

      I did the same thing with my checking account when actually writing checks was needed instead of a debit card. In the personal register I entered the actual amount, but rounded up in the tabulations column..Each page I added up the "round ups" and divided by three.. 1/3rd went into savings, 1/3rd went towards the CD Ladder, and 1/3rd stayed unseen in a slush fund to protect me from overdrafting

    I have three different types of savings so far. You can tell me if I need to change anything;
    -Cash stuffed away in my personal vault. Used for misc shit like food and gas in case I'm low in checking.
    -Savings account with my main bank. Used for cushion and maybe buying a game or tickets to a concert (which obviously Covid helped save me more lol)
    -Savings account through a credit union. Not touching unless my car breaks down or need a refrigerator replaced. Enough to cover 7-9 months living expenses.
    Each with a different purpose. Although I'm thinking of making a fourth savings for the ultimate emergency back up.

      I always had my fears about currency trading, but a colleague next door referred me to Mr. Samj Avi. The result shows that you know what you are doing and your strategy is top notch. Mr. Samj guided me directly to financial success, he is trustworthy, the broker is regulated, and withdrawal is fast. $ 15200 in two weeks with an investment of up to $ 1100, for me, it's great. You can contact him in his official Whats app (+12063177288). It seems to be the favorite now, highly recommended also if you want to recoup the lost investment.

    Accts 1 - 3 are great! the 4th is irrelevant and counter productive to a budget which you should have. Also,. anything more than 6 month emergency fund is not necessary, even in an online high yield account. Reason being is lets say 6 months is 10K......10K in this account at even 2% interest is way less than 10k being invested properly at a return of 8% or higher....then add up the interest over years and you start losing thousands.

    So refreshing so see such simple concepts in action along with experience as proof. Im going to use your links to get Acorn and start that up. Hopefully you're getting something from it because you were quite articulate and now that i got my big lump sum unemployment check I'm gonna put your 4 savings strategies into practice.

    Savings account has 0% interest, so there is no point. Other options have them locked in for some time and that doesn’t work for emergencies. Earning a couple of pennies for minimal amount of $1,000 doesn’t do it for me. Anyway, great tips and thank you!

      You can look into high yield savings accounts/sinking funds. Just to save your “go to” money. Then invest the rest.

      Build yourself a CD Ladder..That $1000.00 could be split into10-$100.00's..Yes there are institutions that offer CDs for as little as $100..The trick is to build the CD Ladder to 60 months, and as the shortest term mature roll them into the longer term..Another option is to have the "interest payments" paid directly into your typical savings account..I do this and have about $7.00 a month paid into my savings with a $5000.00 CD Ladder.. And yes I have had to access the CD Ladder to pay for emergencies..That is part of the benefits of the ladder is you take only what you need, if you need, and don't affect the untapped CDs

    Does she know that Wells Fargo preyed on black hopeful homeowners by leading them to risky loans when a lot of them qualified for safe conventional loans? This deliberate targeting caused the black community's wealth to be decimated during the financial crisis of 2008. I am not even mentioning the other terrible and dubious activity they have participated in over the years. Why choose to bank with a company that is known to be awful to its customers and stakeholders?

    The thing is the more interest you earn the more income taxes you need to pay

    I opened the Way2Sav in 2006 or so back when it earned 2% interest, I still have it, it's helped me when funds we're tight, it's also been able to grow a little, yes 2k a year or whatever you might save isn't much, but honestly, it's nice to have some localized savings for a small splurge or small unexpected bill! I still use cash some and keep a change jar which has proven fairly successful still (less so during this pandemic). Great video as always, one caveat I've recently learned, double check with your employer with any self managed brokerage accounts such as Acorn's parent company, I had to close one of mine because it wasn't with an approved broker for my new job in finance/new employer. Paying down some debt and rolling the rest to where my retirement accounts are.

    So the Goals accounts are high-yield online savings accounts? But, you're just naming them after the goals you want?

    • @thebrokenwallet
      @thebrokenwallet  Před rokem

      Yes, these can be separate high-yield accounts (nicknamed after a goal). Another option is using Ally. You can open a single high-yield savings, and then separate your money into "buckets."

      @tapangasoul6928 Před rokem

      ​@@thebrokenwallet Thank you for your comment. :)
      Ahh I was wondering if there were apps that could do something like that. So, one bucket could be named "Land" (if you want to save up to buy land one day), one could be (Travel), etc.
      I like the idea of having an HYSA, but also building CD ladders. These two seem like the safest way to save money without having to worry about risks, while also looking for some long term growth.
      However, what about someone with a regular checking//savings, an HYSA account and a few CD ladders. More specifically, someone who will make 40-50k for a few years. Then expect to make 80-100k later on. In a field, where people don't often work for the same company for years.
      Would you recommend Dividends for people who want to take some risks and watch the market? But, aren't ready for individual stocks?

      you can automate most of them. and set them to your needs and lifestyle. Obviously, if you rent and don't own a car you are not going to need a house maintenance account or a car maintenance account. You could just have an emergency savings for urgent needs like you were sick for a few days and didn't earn income and you need to pay rent. regular savings. Then you have your super emergency savings, for when the %^&&* hits the fan and you need to get large amounts of money but don't need it that same day.High yield savings. then you can do the goals one if you like, but if you don't want a bunch of separate ones, just have a checking account, a savings account, and a high yield savings account. I would rather just put all my money in a high yield, but if I have an expensive car repair, I want to access that money that day. plus, my husband doesn't like waiting for things and doesn't tell me in advance that he is going to do repairs on the house, so I need to have money in his savings that I can transfer into checking immediately. But, I am earning more than 10 X what I was having just one regular savings account. it is a $40 dollar difference per year. I earned 6 pennies in interest on my savings. my high-yield savings is going to give me $3 this month for half the amount. I can cook a meal for 2 on $3.
