market insanity

The economy and markets have been on a crazy tear these days.

Think about whats happening.

The Yolo Economy – You no longer need to be in a specific geographic location to have a job. = > here.

Magic internet money has increased in value by 12,000%.

A new Jersey deli with a single location is listed at over $100 million.

Digital crowds can now manipulate markets – this used to be the exclusive purview of high net worth individuals or institutions. Per CNBC.

The Fed has dumped a ton of money into the economy – the total supply of money increased by $3 trillion in 2020 alone.

With all this insanity, the only helpful thought I can offer is: try not to get sucked into the economic craziness.  If you can’t, then just take a very small percentage of your investable assets and play along.  Whatever you do, try not to get involved in the insanity. Because…insane market conditions have a habit of ending badly.

MANAGE YOUR MONEY TOGETHER

Here are some simple guidelines for DINKS to build wealth:

1) Collaborate: Meet regularly to talk about money, set goals together, track and monitor them.

2) Understand and respect your partner. Take time to understand your partners values about money.

3) Watch the numbers. Get a budget, monitor your spending and track your net worth.

4) Max your retirement. Maximize contributions to your tax deferred retirement accounts.

5) Invest in stock. Stocks perform better than bonds or cash.

6) Avoid high interest debt. Credit cards and title loans are financial cancer.

7) Diversify. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
