309: 9 Things You Should Be Saving For But Probably Aren't
Learn common things you should be saving for. Here's the article: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2017/08/26/6-things-you-should-be-saving-for-but-arent/104677444/ Add to that list: 7) Save for children's education. If you plan to have children, you should start saving for college the day they are born. You have 18 years to compound the money and it's much easier to save gradually than to try to come up with the money when the kids go to school. Plan for approximately $240,000 per child which is $13,333 per year, about $1,111 per month. If that's too much, then start with $200 per month and add any raises to the amount. 8) Save for a wedding. If you have a daughter, you may be footing the entire bill of $50,000+. That's $200 per month or $2400 per year for 21 years. If they marry later, great! You may get away with just covering the groom's side like the rehearsal dinner, a tuxedo and you and your husband's outfits, but likely more than that. Any extra can be redirected to your retirement fund! 9) Save for vacation. Why not plan to save for your vacation rather than putting it on credit cards, going into debt and then having to pay high interest on it? A vacation savings account makes a lot more sense to me than a veterinarian account! I will post the article in the show notes and on my website.

People were making suggestions for remodels that would decrease value of the home! Comps are what guide and somewhat limit the value of the home. Based on number of baths and bedrooms and square feet and garage. Can also include a view. The basic NO-NO's: *Reducing a bedroom to turn it into a closet Wife wanted to turn a bedroom into a closet. Go from a 3 bedroom to a 2 bedroom house. That would reduce value dramatically because less demand and fewer shoppers for a 2 bedroom! *Reducing a bathroom by combining 2 into 1 or going from full to 3/4. Two bathrooms were side by side in a poor layout. Lady wanted to join them into one large one in a 3 bedroom home. Not a good idea to only have one bathroom! People will pay more for 2 bathrooms! *Spending a fortune on a backyard pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen & fire pit (not going to get back your investment). You don't get back your investment dollar for dollar on pool, spa, landscaping, outdoor kitchen, etc. If you're going to spend money remodeling, don't spend money that will reduce the value of your home! Do things that will increase value. Most money is made by renovating kitchens and baths and adding or expanding closets. That's where you want to put your money. ****************************************************** I'm having a summer giveaway through the end of September...you could: Win 6 awesome prizes: 5 of The Wealthy Mindset Blueprint (audio course): Learn how millionaires think the right thoughts for wealth before it happens (value $197) OR 1 Wealth Journal (book): Learn the 6 Steps to Wealth (value $67) Here's what you need to do: 1.

Just visit http://www.audibletrial.com/BeWealthyandSmart That's audibletrial.com/bewealthyandsmart. Here is our listener question for today: Hi Linda! I have been listening to your podcasts for the past 12 months and love them! I can't get enough of them. I have been investing as a hobby for the past 6 months and trying to learn as much as I can. I have heard you and several other people talk about ETF's and how useful they are. Unfortunately I don't know how to look up the ETF's I would like to invest in. Can you do a podcast that answers the following questions: 1) How to find specific ETF's. 2) how to determine if they are the right one to invest in. 3) What are some of the key indicators I should look for? 4) Can I find ETF's based on performance of single stocks? I look forward to hearing your insights on the topic! Thank you for all your hard work and desire to help lift us to new financial heights! Regards, Ryan Thank you, Ryan! I appreciate you being a loyal listener! That means a lot to me and I love that you love the show! What is an ETF? Exchange traded funds are passive investments. They are a static portfolio that allows you to buy a basket of securities in an index or a sector. They provide diversification and low turnover and low fees. Since active management has had a difficult time outperforming indexes, investors have somewhat given up paying extra fees to managers who don't beat the indexes, so they are buying the indexes themselves. If you have a manager who consistently outperforms an index, and you net more after fees than an index, that would be a preferable investment. Today it's hard to find! How to find specific ETFs? Many investors who are looking for passive investments try to minimize fees. It makes sense, if you're investing in the S & P 500, they are the same 500 companies whether you buy it from company A or B, so you may as well purchase the one with the lower fees so you net more in your pocket. Many investors have flocked to Vanguard because they have a reputation of having the lowest fees. While fees are not everything, in the case of passive investing because portfolios are identical, it makes sense to buy the lowest fees. That would not be true in an actively managed portfolio however. How to determine if the ETF is the right one? You always want to pay attention to asset allocation. In equities, you want large, mid and small caps plus international (outside of the US). You can also have some sector funds like REITs or precious metals or short-term bonds in 3 to 5% weightings. Can I find ETFs based on performance of single stocks? Yes, but I don't recommend it. Typically, fund managers prevent any one position from growing beyond 5 percent of assets in order to manage their risk. Sector ETFs are more likely than actively-managed funds to have large positions in individual companies, mainly because they track market-weighted indexes that themselves are often over-weighted with a few popular companies. For example, the $12.9-billion Consumer Discretionary Select SPDR ETF, has 15.1% of its assets in Amazon, while the iShares MSCI South Korea Capped ETF with $3.8B holds 22.9% of its assets in Samsung. I don't recommend investing in sector funds in order to invest in a particular stock. To me, that just shows that there is a need to rebalance a portfolio to bring it back into a regular proportional investment of 3 to 5%. If a stock is overweight in an ETF, it means it has already appreciated quite a bit and it may be a sign this isn't the time to invest in it. When shares grow into a larger allotment than 5%, managers are often paring back, not looking to buy more. You should think like the professionals. Having said that, I also believe that you want to let your winners run and to sell your losers, so I would say if you want to own a stock, buy the stock. Don't buy a sector fund to own 1 stock.

301: The Difference Between Being Frugal and Smart Spending
Learn why frugality is not the way to wealth. Sometimes I grow weary from hearing people advise others to be frugal in order to build wealth. Frugality is not spending money. Definition is skimping, sparing, and meager. To me what frugality is is spending less or nothing. If all you do is spend less and less, pretty soon you're living in the woods! I'm all for careful spending, but I realized there's a difference between "not spending" and "making dollars go farther". To me, I've always been about getting more for a dollar, rather than not spending a dollar. That's a huge difference! Make your dollars last longer. Buy at the right price…on sale, at a discount, a deal, wholesale, etc. Buy it at the right price. It's not about doing without or living in a shed. I don't think that's living life! That's giving money too much power and creating misery in your life. I'd rather see you choose a few things you want and find a way to get them at a discount. I play a game with myself to figure out how to get anything at a discount. Sometimes if it never goes on sale, it might be saving tax (about 10%) by buying it online. You want to stay away from spending a lot on furniture, cars, vehicles, figurines, decorations, etc. I have a friend who keeps buying furniture and remodeling, then complains there is no money! It's a downward spiral! There's a big difference between not spending (being a miser = bad) and spending wisely = smart shopping. I'm a stickler for quality though. I don't buy cheap things that won't last. I buy quality at a discount. I don't want bad diamonds full of inclusions and that are supposed to be white or colorless and are yellow! I want great quality diamonds at a discount! Get it? Do you really need a new paddle board or could you find one gently used? Do you need a $5,000 Italian bicycle or can you get a used one? Do you need a new couch? Could you find one gently used? These large purchases harm you a lot more than a latte! Do you need to own a boat? Can you rent one? These are big purchases and price tags that will kill your retirement. Soooo, make your dollars go farther! Have what you want and buy it at the right price!
