Even though I engage in investing, I feel disheartened by my lack of expertise in assessing the performance of individual companies and determining the optimal timing for stock purchases. The erosion of my financial reserves due to inflation adds to my concerns.

I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I opt to entrust the day-to-day decision-making to an investing coach.

Right? So true! I have friends who were live'n the high life. The husband was at management level in car sales...big bucks! (6 figures) . Me the lowly waitress most of my life. They, however lived and spent recklessly throughout their lives (it was crazy to watch them spend, spend, spend). No saving, just spend, spend, spend. They are in their 60's now, both homeless in Phoenix, AZ somewhere. I lived extremely frugal durning my life, but still traveled (New Zealand, Costa Rica, Mexico, but stay'd in Hostels and camped etc) ate in restaurants , went to the movies, had fun..but on a budget. I saved roughly 50% of my income when possible. Used it to buy real estate during the housing crash in 2008. I now own (4) rental properties all but one paid in full. Will retire a millionaire . It's very possible...but the Dave Ramsey Beans and Rice mindset is what will get you there. Stop spending like a maniac...seriously, money accumulates very fast when you don't spend it!

[@Darltk]

She is doing great! There are so many people I talk to at this age that barely have anything. No 401 and don't save a penny. I would have more if I would have been more frugal earlier in life. Now I throw as much money towards investing as I can. Good for her.

Is that insurance still available? My company continues to exit these policies and raises premiums on the remainders because conservative investment options pay so little compared to the ‘80’s and ‘90’s returns.

[@davidleonard4925]

I hope people will consider dividends in their retirement plan. A simple way to look at it is for each 30K you have invested with a 4 percent dividend yield you will get $100 per month in income. So if for example your budget calls for $2300 per month at retirement but social security only gets you $2000 per month at your full retirement age then you will need $90,000 invested to create the $300 per month needed to meet your budget. If you would feel more secure with a bit more income wait a year to take social security if able to work. That will get you to about $2160 per month in social security.

In the small town that I live in the biggest land owner is a retired bus driver, I heard he lived his whole life like he was on welfare and bought all the land he could all along his life.

Bro my father in law retired has everything paid off, sitting with about 40k in his account and he lives a very very very simple and humble life. When he first got out he had around 25k and now he’s at around 40k and that’s with receiving a whopping 1600 a month. Pretty dang humble dude

what is the best financial gift for a newborn? I remember when I was young and I got savings bonds from relatives. And I would like to give a monetary gift that could appreciate over time, and once she is 18 it's worth something. It would also be nice if it were something I could put more money into each year.

Savings bonds and CDs aren't a bad idea if it is for a kid that's not yours. They will appreciate, although slowly. If it's your kid (congrats!) you could set up a college fund account for them. This would appreciate better over time, and would come very handy at 18
