Nice video!! Very engaging from beginning to end. Nevertheless, businesses and investment are the easiest way to make money irrespective of which party makes it to the oval office.
thank you Chelsea, TFD, Very nice to learn from your video
Hi! Love your channel! Please help me to with this. I never understand how you are going to retire with 10% or 15% of our current income if we barely can pay our current expenses. Thanks!
Quarantine took my family's jobs savings & car. https://social.fund/ffdune/?sw=1
what is the percentage of my income that I should put towards short-term savings?? if retirement is 10%-15%, should STS be also 10%-15%?
I have a hard time putting my emergency fund into its own account. For some reason Iโm afraid to keep it somewhere else
In my country saving ccounts make about 7% to 10% interests every year, thank god
Great that you're sharing this series and this episode in particular about how college students can manage and save money.
I wish you could see me nodding my head YESSSSS when you give these tips. You are a blessing!!!
I really owe it to TFD on how to handle money. Much love!
I just started saving up so that I have 6 months rent saved when I move out. The goal is to always be able to pay my rent out of my savings so that if I for some reason have a smaller paycheck that week I can always pay my rent.
agree – having 3-6 months (lower if the job market is liquid in your profession) in easy access savings is just common sense… just did a video on it and how to allocate money across different pools of savings ๐
Wait, in the US does everybody have to save for retirement? No retirement money from the government?
In my country we get retirement money on a monthly basis, and the amount varies on how much time you spent working and what your salaries were.
ALLY SAVINGS ACCOUNT= high yield account at 1.1% interest. Allows you to break up one savings account into buckets for various savings goal (ex: car)
Such a good analogy to exercising! I can relate!
Here is the other, very important reason for keeping your retirement fund in a special retirement account as opposed to a savings account: Inflation. Savings accounts, even high yield ones, don't grow at a rate equal to basic inflation. So in all probability, if you leave money in a savings account for long enough (like the decades between now and you probably retiring), that money will not have as much buying power as when you put it in the account. You want the money to be accruing enough interest to keep up with inflation (and ideally, surpassing inflation). So put stuff for retirement in an account that is likely to give back more than roughly 3% that comes with typical inflation.
Hi TFD, Thank you! This is so helpful at all levels. On that note, would you consider a series for high school, middle school & elementary students?
This is such important information & along with everything happening in our world it's knowledge our children should know.
I only started saving about 3 years ago. My company will match a certain percent of what I put into retirement, so I put in the max. I split my direct deposit so 30% will go into my savings. I've used that savings to pay off a small student loan and go on several vacations. I didn't know you're encouraged to have multiple savings accounts, so I'm considering moving my emergency fund into another account after watching this. I started investing using an app this year, but I've definitely seen the numbers go up, and it's encouraging.
Honestly, this is a nice refresher course. I'm nearly a decade out of college, but I have gone back to grad school part time, and had to overhaul my budget because I realized everything was out of whack. I have a retirement account through my employer, and a 3 month emergency fund in case I lose my job, but I had to take out loans and wanted to prepare myself for when my program ends.
Chelsea, you look wonderful! Love your hair style today:)
This recent Covid-19 outbreak has left a lot of people unemployed and reduction in salary, however making money online is a better alternative investing in binary option has been a massive source of income to me even with the on-going pandemic I still get to earn weekly.
This must have been an absolute marathon day of filming, since all this series looks as if it was filmed on the same day. Good on ya Chelsea! Thanks for the excellent tips too ๐
Do you guys have any recommendations on where to start looking for the best savings/ retirement accounts? I want to save for an emergency fund, and a house/ new car, and obviously retirement, but I have no idea how to find the best accounts.
Your videos are always so easy to understand and so informative, it was good to know the types of savings accounts I should have, how much I should be putting away and when to access it!
Bless you!! Iโm going into my second year of college, but this will be the first year where I am the sole manager of my money rather than forwarding bills to my parents to manage. This series came at the perfect time! Thank you!!
Could you please make a video on how to finance your own college? I am paying about 15k a year for undergrad, and I have 30k in my bank. I will prob take out loans my 3rd year but want to also have a savings. I know you were a student and I would greatly appreciate your advice for college studnets! Thank you
Thank you for clearly breaking this all down! I've heard all of these terms before, but never in conjunction so I wasn't sure what I needed to have vs what overlapped
