Why a 401(k) is Not Your Best Option
When it comes to saving for retirement, there are a few common options out there. People who work traditional jobs, including both my parents, have 401(k) plans. Their employer matches their contribution or pays a percentage on the dollar. To be clear, this is only when you contribute out of your own wages. For example, if an employer pays 50 cents on the dollar and you put $3,000 in your 401(k), your total savings will be $4,500. With a 401(k), you get to contribute more money per year than if you had an IRA - $19,500 versus $6,000 if you under the age of 50, $26,000 versus $7,000 if you are over the age of 50. These limits are current to the 2020 and 2021 years.

4 Economists that gave answers
A summary of four extraordinary economic thinkers. Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo, and Carl Marx. Adam Smith fascinates me the most. His most famous piece of work is the "Wealth of Nations," published in 1776. He preached that money facilitates the exchange of commodities. When trading goods or services, it is ideal to exchange currency. Without an exchange of currency, trading goods or services would be a lot more complicated.

5 Habits of Successful Investors
Successful Investors Live Below Their Means: Have you heard the saying before? The fact is, most people like myself hate to hear this because it sounds like taking all the fun out of life. I see a shirt at the store that fits me well and I like the design, why can’t I buy it? Because some guru told me to live below my means? Let's approach this concept in a more realistic fashion. Live within your means. It doesn’t matter how good of an investor you are, if you don’t have the capital to invest then you won’t see big returns. Since few of us are lucky enough to inherit money, win the lottery, or marry into wealth, beefing up your portfolio is dependent on education and practicality. The more you can save, the more money you can transition into your investment portfolio where you can make money. At the least, live within your means. Use Senator Elizabeth Warren's budgeting plan. 50% of your income for basic needs. 30% for wants and pleasures. The last 20% is used to set yourself up for success (investment money).
