I have been putting part of my paycheck into a high yield savings account, but haven’t bothered with investing it in a responsible manner partially due a fear of losing the money due to bad investments. I’m finally realizing how much potential money I’ve lost by letting my money stagnate. Please advise me on how to responsibly invest my money, thanks!
Thank you, I’ll look into money market and CDs
Its important to be taking advantage of tax deferred savings btw. I just assumed these funds are all taxable savings and that you are already contributing to your retirement and health savings.
Simply investing your savings without putting money into iras/401ks/hsas would be a huge mistake in the long term.
