You know it's works. Don't wait, don't hesitate. We'll see you on the other side. Earners, what's going on?
You are now locking the cliff Notes the number one place for investment strategies, tips and advice.
Let's talk about something real quick if we can. That's a hot topic, the stimulus check. A lot of people are getting their stimulus checks, so you know, this might be the first opportunity. It was some jokes online about like I'm gonna get the stimulus and I'm gonna buy the ocean and get LLC.
You want Ruth Chris to bring out the food with the other half.
But but but you know, all in all jokes, there's some level of like true. So this is an opportunity for some people that you know, they might be their first opportunity to invest. You know, it's not anything that's going to be life changing, but they might be able
to invest a thousand dollars for the first time. They might have been piled up on bills, they might have been you know, just living day to day, and this is an opportunity for them to get, you know, additional a couple thousand dollars and now they might be able to put a thousand dollars.
So yeah, and for some families that they can earn up to eighty two hundred, depending on how much they make and if they have children. I know a family of four that makes under one hundred and fifty thousand, I think you can get up to eighty two hundred. So you're talking about even if you invest half of that. That's a very nice starting point for somebody to be investing.
So the next question is, okay, like if I never invested, I got a stimulus, I got a couple thousand or thousand, whatever, what should I invest? So I'll let everybody give their two cents on it. But we spoke about before. Index funds is always a great way, especially for new investors, beginners. You know, the Russell two thousand, the S and P five hundred are two probably of the main indexes for so if you're just starting out, you've never invested ever,
this is an easy way where you can go. There's no fee, no commission, you can invest your money and now at least you can get your feet wet. And then also if you want to have start investing for your child. You know we spoke about this before, but you know every week there might be somebody new that's watching. So of course you can open up a five to twenty nine plan if you are interested in investing for your child's education. Each state offers their own five twenty
nine plan. Depending on which state you live in, you get a tax benefit for that state. Or you can invest in an UTMAH which is a custodio account, and once again you can invest in the index fund. You can invest in ETFs, which we talk about a lot, or you can invest in some of the companies that you know are the most obvious Apple, Google things to
the nature of Microsoft, Think the Nature. So you know, like I said, we want to we talk about a lot of advanced stuff, high level stuff, but we can never forget that somebody somebody's watching that has never invested, and they might be their first time watching. So we never want to go too fast that we're leaving people behind.
It's the same thing that we've always said.
Obviously, we said Ian has reiterated every Monday right too, and THATX is two techs.
And I always tell people, yes, that's true.
But if you're trying to find which are the companies that you should do, if you're looking at tech, I always tell you look around you.
What are you investing in? Where are you spending your money?
Are you shopping on Amazon that's a publicly traded company, please invest? Do you have Apple products? Are you watching us right now on a MacBook? Do you use an iPhone? If you're listening to us? Are you on air buds? If you're doing all those things, you're already investing in the compan You're already a consumer in the company. Why not be an owner in the company. And so those are things that you should look at if you're looking at tech or where are you're spending your money?
Right?
And I love you. We had this conversation with people.
We talked about Dominoes being a tech company, like, if you're spending every Friday, you're getting your kids Dominoes, you probably should invest in it.
Their run is crazy.
If Nike is a company that you're buying every month for your children and their reporting their earnings this week, you probably should own some SoC and Nike.
