It’s a criminal agenda.

I just don't get how we aren't already in general-strike mode. Trump is making himself into a dictator AND simultaneously obliterating Americans' finances. Other countries would rise up over less I think.

All those finance smart guys who voted for #Trump to get the goodies below, have not foreseen that the #tariffs moron is half way now with destroying #America β€˜s economy.

Best to keep you desktop a bit tidier and for peace of mind maybe invest in some sort of backup or sync option. You can set this up on both Mac (iCloud) or windows (Microsoft OneDrive). Or use a third party option like Dropbox.

In the UK you can’t get your state pension until 66 - 68

If you want to retire earlier than this you need a plan

You can access a personal pension earlier (currently 55 but rising to 58)

And of course there are ISAs

Let’s split the U.S. up, state by state and share it out amongst other nations of the world. That would help with world security and climate change.

Natural yield - the dividends and interest that your investments produce

If you have enough invested, this can become a viable income stream.

The term β€˜#equity’ is used to describe the funds raised by a company for business growth and development

These funds are raised through public or #financial institutions by issuing company #shares which are then listed on a #stock exchange

β€˜Paying yourself first’ is a #financial strategy where you set aside an amount to #invest from your #income before you pay any other expenses

The easiest and most consistent way to do this is by setting up a direct debit to your #investment, that goes out the day after pay day

Pound Cost Averaging = strategy where you #invest small amounts on a regular basis

When the market drops, you buy more β€˜#shares’ for the same amount of money

The cost of your shares β€˜averages’ out over time to between the highest & lowest value during your #investment window

Wherever you are in your #investment journey, you should always have some easy access cash available for you to use in case of some sort of #financial emergency

This is usually referred to as an β€˜Emergency Fund’

This is the money that helps you sleep at night
