Why investing the same amount of dollars each month is important

 

Best annuity for your retirement

Some annuities cost you nothing and the benefit increases automatically without you paying more premium. Some annuities are tailored to your age so that you receive more later and less earlier. Some annuities cost a lot. Some require no extra payments. Some annuities can provide a growing benefit and still provide a lump sum for emergencies. Some annuities provide a benefit only—the beneficiary cannot surrender the remaining principal. Some annuities are tied to an underlying high-cost variable account. Most annuities cannot be cancelled. Some annuities provide a periodic benefit for one or two lives. Some pay a benefit for a certain time period. Get the right one for your lifestyle.

What is the New American Retirement System?

Protect your family and assets with your financial wealth. Borrow from your System to pay for large purchases. Buy whatever you need without going into debt to others. Self-insure manageable risks—invest the premiums saved. Buy financial services wholesale--save $3,000 a year. Manage your System in 1 hour per year. $2 million can produce $160,000 a year in retirement. There are no taxes either.

This book will show you how to:

Retirement savings amounts very skewed to the wealthy

The average account balance was $141,542 for 2021; the median balance was $35,345. This disparity means that a small number of plans with very high balances skews this often-quoted average upward. The American middle class has a difficult time saving for retirement with low wages, high inflation and increasing housing expenses. Not everyone is benefiting from the tax deduction for contributions since many small employers do not offer 401k plans. The self-directed IRA requires starting early to obtain the maximum benefits of tax-favored savings. Very few high school curriculums offer a tax-benefit IRA course. It is up to parents/grandparents to get their offspring started on the journey.

Is a money market account right for you?

This account, available at most financial institutions, is favored by anyone who says, “I don’t want to lose money in the market.” For instance, Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide current income while maintaining liquidity and a stable share price of $1. However, maintaining a stable share price of $1 means that you cannot keep your purchasing power over time. Thus your money is not ‘safe’ and over time, your $5000 will buy less than it did before. Yes, you will earn interest but you will also owe taxes on any gain. A bank savings account may be a better vehicle for short-term savings. If you are saving for retirement, a ‘safer’ place for your money is a balanced (stocks and bonds) mutual fund. Over time you gain part of the positive market return in the form of share price rising and also stock dividends paid and bond interest earned. Some of my readers use such an account for their emergency short-term needs since they have accumulated quite a balance over time. “Borrowing” $5,000 from their $250,000 balanced mutual fund like the Vanguard Wellesley Income Fund costs them little. That $5,000 may be repaid to their account in a year or their gains on the $245,000 in a year may be enough to cover it. Remember, “never bet against America.”

Why investing the same amount of dollars each month is important

Smart investors have learned the trick of investing to accumulate the greatest number of shares with the same amount of money each month. Over time, you receive fewer shares when the price is too high and more shares when the price is low. You are buying without overpaying for shares. Last December, for example, shares were expensive so your monthly investment of $250 bought one share of Vanguard Health Care Fund. But in June 2022, your $250 bought 1.358 shares (shares were cheaper). In this way, if you had started buying shares 10 years ago, your $250 would have purchased 1.689 shares. You can see that over the last 10 years, you would have more than 200 shares not 120 shares at the higher price. In 30 years, with more shares and the share price appreciation (dividends and increased value), your $250 a month investment may be worth over $500,000. This strategy is called ‘dollar-cost averaging’: you buy low and accumulate more shares. Over time, shares worth more. And you can make it all tax FREE.

Light is both a particle and a wave depending on how we look at the light.

I don’t think that there is any such thing as a position or a velocity of a particle.

Everything in universe: galaxies to stones made of subatomic energy ‘vibrations’

A subatomic ‘particle’ is the smallest possible vibration (quantum) of a quantum field.

Mass–energy equivalence: E=mc^2.  At the smallest level; Everything is moving!

There is no TIME at this level because of force fields come and go in all directions. 

Inside protons, neutrons, it is the fields of the virtual particles that creates its mass.

“Empty space is a boiling, bubbling brew of virtual particles that pop in and out of existence in a time scale so short that you can’t even measure them.” Space expanding.

The electricity we use comes from the field around the wire not from election itself.
