Banks just suck.

Buy ammo with your savings. It will be good to barter with after Kameltoe wins the election.

It's a thing you put money in every payday.
And once in awhile you move it to a better interest rate.
Im not a money person but I was taught this long ago.
Always pay yourself FIRST.

It's a skill many aren't taught and NEVER learn.

Your taught to be a good little consumers, get in debt and spend it all!

Own nothing, you'll be happy!

The disappointment of it all will be that, though we were wise and saved and did the research and delayed gratification, when the government eventually collapses our currency, we'll have just as much as those who didn't do any of those - nothing.

Ohhhhhh, you're talking about the money I have left over after paying bills that's used to buy stuff like pew pews and things that come out of pew pews for when it all collapses I can take care of myself. A piece of paper with numbers on it won't do much good when all goes to hell.......

I’ve been doing CD ladders, better return in most cases. It just takes a bit of discipline to get it started and keep them rolling over.

These funds are emergency and regular sinking fund stuff. Investing $ go into the markets.

Just living is a speculative gamble. Aim for the gains. Gubmint collapses, eat the gubmint.

I was referring to the WEF, but yes. I'm not even 40 and have been on a decluttering/less is more binge for a while now...

I keep that money in a 1 year money market at I believe 5'1% with Navy Federal CC, if I need to transfer a few hundred or a few thousand you just loose the interest off what money you transfered out. It seems to be a better deal for me than a saving account at what .2% or whatever it is paying now,
To get money is just a quick phone call and in two minutes its done.

Purple?

Sometimes, and for some people, zero debt makes sense. But loans, leases, etc. are often the only way to start one's own business, leverage greater profits,...

...buy something you need, but don't have all the cash for right now.

Ramsey sounds like you, or you like him,...and Dave knows a great deal, but he is giving advice that is--again--only good for SOME people.

Indeed. This banker says: money, at least the American kind, is not a real, usable resource in the event of..

Well. In the event of ANY thing or things that causes your neighbors not to believe in that piece of paper anymore.

As with many things in life, resource management is best done with an eye towards BALANCE.
