How I Invest My Money
From 401(k)s to High Yield Savings Accounts and even art — here's what I invest in to plan for my future
I have written at length about how I make my money — and how, once upon a time, I more-than tripled my income in less than a year, and have continued growing it year over year since.
Money is important. It’s fun to spend it, obviously, but a big part of what I do with my income is invest it and save for my future.
An important caveat: I am not a financial adviser nor a financial professional. I have no training in finance. I trust experts and have my own adviser (more on that, below).
I am laser-focused on retirement and savings, and have been from an early age. In college, I began investing in the stock market (with very little money, at the time). As soon as I had the opportunity to contribute to a company-matched 401(k), I took it. And as my savings grew, I turned to an expert to help me further diversify my savings and investments as best I could.
Below, I have detailed how I invest my money. Plus, I included a Q&A from a financial professional —
, Chief Advisory Officer at SignatureFD and the author of personal finance Substack, The Net Worthwhile. Tim was kind enough to answer some general questions about personal finance, including how much cash to have on hand if you’re self-employed; how to diversify a portfolio; and the importance of investing in a 401(k).
