Aloha Investors!
If you haven’t started saving for retirement or emergencies then the time is now! Don’t fall for all these prime deals unless you have a stable income with savings set aside for emergencies. The economy isn’t up to par with the job market and inflation hasn’t stopped increasing. My suggestion is that everyone start saving more and stop spending money on things they don’t need. I know what it feels like when you see that bank account and you want to spend it on things that can satisfy you. The satisfaction is only for that moment! I know it is easy to pull out that credit card and spend money, but in reality you’re not helping the economy. Spending money you don’t have isn’t necessarily the best thing you can do right now!
This month has been up and down with the stock market which helped me buy more shares of my favorite stocks. I also added a new section which helps set-up your high yield savings account. I would suggest putting a few dollars away for a rainy day. You never know when you will need an extra dollar to pay for something.
