What happens if you invest in the stock market all your life?

 

Start investing without a saving plan

Most people can’t maintain a regular saving plan in order to build wealth. You know why—there is nothing left after all our bills have been paid. It takes continuous discipline to save money for the future. Every month, our account is empty. There is almost nothing left to save. It is almost impossible for us to keep writing a monthly check to our mutual fund or broker. And worst of all, we have to make this decision over and over again—so we dread it and don’t do it. Instead, we are told to increase the amount we contribute to our 401k or employer plan. But that means giving up something else—maybe a new truck or new kitchen. There is a solution to the “savings dilemma.” It does not require making a decision to save a certain amount to be assured of a future. The solution is in a procedure we don’t have a choice in—paying taxes. Almost all of us must pay income taxes on a regular basis—usually each pay period. Our employer takes cash from our pay and sends it to Washington. And guess what—we pay more to the IRS than it actually needs given our tax bracket and deductibles, etc. So many of us receive money back—a tax refund amount. And guess what the average refund amount is—it is just the right amount needed for you to build a $ million future retirement fund. At $3,000 per year, your refund that didn’t come from the discipline of a savings plan is just enough for your retirement. You need to put that $3,000 a year into a low-cost mutual stock-market account and let it grow. $3,000 a year at 11.33% per year for 33 years (1990-2022) provides $1,077,702.43.

How to pay for their college education

Most public college students pay less than $10,000.

Save $20,000 on the cost of private schools.

Use your Education Fund for tax-FREE cash.

Accumulate $100,000 in 15 years to cover most expenses.

Never give up your retirement savings to pay for college. There are no low-cost student loans for retirement. Let a tax-FREE account and the power of compounding help you help your kids pay for their educations. Why not let them provide as much of the cost as they can? After all, they will be the ones that double or triple their lifetime earnings because of this education. And … studies show students get more out of it when they pay for it. You need to protect your family and assets first. Don't pay more than your share. Financial aid and loans may cover much of the bill anyway. For your part of the expenses, use the accumulations in your tax-FREE Wealth ReserveTM if you have one. I will explain how this low-cost compounding account can easily cover your portion of tuition. This account can accumulate $100,000 in 15 years by using the savings from your current financial services budget.

What happens if you invest in the stock market all your life?

You become better off than in a stocks/bonds/other portfolio. A new study found “across a sample of three dozen countries over 130 years was that a mix of half domestic, half international equities actually beat blended portfolios in both money made and capital preserved.” Of course the question you and your advisor face is: “can you weather the ups and downs of the market?” If you try to sell equities to buy bonds at the right time and then switch back from bonds to equities, most studies show you lose a lot of money. So if you can invest for the long term in equities while managing a separate fixed account for cash needs, you could have success with investing. Designating a stock-only account and never touching the money is the best way to assure the best long-term outcome for you. Many people may start with this goal in mind but cave as soon as their equity account shows a temporary loss. Unfortunately, their advisor usually does what they say they want. They sell and buy later losing money. After all, the firm’s income is generated by “activity”, as my old brokerage firm boss used to say. Using the successful method as suggested by this study just reinforces the advice Warren Buffett has given us: put 90% of your money in a low-cost stock index fund.

Our Universe is Mind-Blowing

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 (galaxies to stones) in universe made of subatomic energy ‘vibrations’

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

A ‘particle’ is an event; not an objective thing. This event is set of complex relationships.

New theory may finally unite Einstein's gravity with the quantum world

 

 

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

Energy into matter: scientists converted light energy directly into matter in one step

In place of atomic lattice, light waves used to create an optical lattice with same geometry

IRS: Why refunds are smaller this year

 

Many readers’ portfolios have returned to their values as of August 2022

In a poll of my readers I have determined that for us “holding-period-forever” folks there has been little movement in the value of our well-balanced portfolio. Not one of us sold during the market drop of 18% in 2022. So we did not sell in a down market as Warren Buffett has recommended. We sold our losing speculative stocks in order to take advantage of the $3,000 loss deduction for 2022 taxes. We bought similar stocks to avoid a “wash sale” penalty. Those similar stocks have risen 38% and 63% since the beginning of 2023 since they began at a very low base. They may eventually crash and burn but they have not changed the whole portfolio so far. Our balanced portfolio can continue to grow in order to provide us with a steady stream of income, provide tax advantages, and can grow tax-deferred over time. In fact, a portfolio like ours is better than an annuity because our portfolios are in low-cost accumulation accounts that don’t lose benefit values to inflation. Better than an annuity, in that our families can use the legacy during their lives instead of losing it to the insurer. We can continue to receive our increasing RMD each month. Our benefit will not lose ½ its benefit’s value in 25 years due to inflation. If we need cash for an emergency or new home, we can take our principal anytime (no penalty). Annuities are insurer contracts that restrict our money withdrawals. 

“Do Nothing”: https://www.amazon.com/Wealth-Tao-Wu-Wei/dp/1499351348

 

Why are Congress and Fed only going after worker jobs to fight inflation?

Why don’t we use a balanced approach to lowering inflation—everyone shares the suffering? GOP wants to cut the benefits we already paid for and increase defense spending. Why don’t we use both tax increases for the wealthy people who scored big from the Trump tax cuts of 2017 and slashes to the corporate subsidies that add to the super profits of large corporations? We could bar unlimited corporate cash to all Congress people to keep them in office. Ask every gov department to cut spending 10%. Everyone needs a trim from time to time. Allow IRS to capture the tax dollars we know the rich are hiding using sophisticated tax avoidance techniques. Most corporations pay few taxes while the IRS target low-income Black men. It is not fair to target low-wage workers to give up their jobs to lower inflation others caused. How many airplanes can the wealthy buy with their Trump tax cuts? Higher demand for luxury goods causes inflation more than workers getting a 1-2% wage increase. We added 700,000 more millionaires in just one year. The number of wealthy folks increases annually while the number of workers in poverty rose too—inequality gets higher.

IRS: Why refunds are smaller this year

Due to tax law changes such as the elimination of the Advance Child Tax Credit and no Recovery Rebate Credit this year to claim pandemic-related stimulus payments, many taxpayers may find their refunds somewhat lower this year. To avoid refund delays, IRS encourages taxpayers to file their tax return electronically with direct deposit instead of submitting a paper tax return. Taxpayers may use IRS Free File on IRS.gov, other tax software or a trusted tax professional. Members of the armed forces and qualifying veterans can file their federal tax return and up to three state tax returns for free electronically using MilTax, a Department of Defense program. The IRS cannot issue refunds involving the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit before mid-February. The law provides the extra time to help the IRS prevent fraudulent refunds. Use IRS.gov to get answers to tax questionscheck a refund status or pay taxes. Some 2021 tax returns and amended returns are still being processed so check https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return. This year, the filing deadline is April 18 for most taxpayers, but automatic six-month extensions of time to file are available for anyone for free. See Extension of Time to File Your Tax Return for instructions.
