As we transition from savers to inventors, we must use the tools that investors use. One of those tools is a money market fund. Money market funds aim to keep their net asset value at $1.

As investors, we must keep our investment dollars close to the stock market. Therefore, money market funds allow...

Five percent Inflation will persist for another 5-10 years. There is simply too much money floating in the hands of consumers. Therefore, we must create our own streams of income to combat inflation.

We never know which commodity inflation will; hit hardest; one day, it is gas,...

Becoming an investor has many stages. One of the first is moving from high-yield savings accounts to US Treasuries. After you get a taste of Treasuries, you may seek higher yields by investing with a little more risk. Baby bonds sit higher on the capital stack than equity (stocks). Therefore, investors get more safety because they will get paid before stocks. Using baby bonds and Treasuries in tandem won't be difficult because they perform well at...

We all want to teach our children healthy money habits. Even better, we want them to grow up and be able to give, save, and invest. There are two main methods in the media: staying debt-free and becoming a capitalist. They each have their time to shine in someone's life. I tried the debt-free way of life and could never get ahead financially. It wasn't until I became a capitalist that I enjoyed having extra resources. You can't run a household without...

Everywhere you look, you can find places paying you 5% interest on your deposits. However, this won't last forever. If you want to guarantee a great return over a long period, look no further than Series "I" Bonds. The government determines rates on Series "I" Bonds from inflation data, not current interest rates. This means that if inflation rises faster than rates, as it did in 2022, Series "I" bonds will be the best place to store your money. If...
