#DontBeBrokeBeWoke

When you hear the words “invest in real estate,” what comes to mind? Is it a second home, a plot of land, a rental apartment complex, or a luxury hotel? All good choice as real estate ideas.

You  may only associate investing in real estate with owning and selling physical properties or making money on rental income. And for many, that might seem totally out of reach.

The good news is investing in the real estate market is much more realistic than you may realize — and it’s becoming increasingly popular with younger generations. 

As real estate prices and rent costs are on the rise, you may wonder how you can break into the market. One way? Real estate investment trusts, a.k.a. REITs.

Today's episode is targeting folks who have the means to put their money to work but decide to leave it in their savings account due to  fear of separation, lack of knowledge or both.

I met with a friend of mine a few weeks ago who was keeping 5 figures in their savings account with maybe a 0.20% APY. I was initially shocked, then disgusted and finally hopeful.

I was shocked because i could not believe someone kept all that money in their savings account and had NOTHING invested.
I was disgusted because I knew, every year that money sat in that savings account it was losing its value where that money could be earning at least 6% (conservatively) in the stock market.
I was hopeful because now they saw the light, and was willing to get started with investing some of it. Understandably, there were still some hesitation but that not only is that expected, it is welcomed. It means, when they see how much their money is growing they will be glad they finally started.

Two years into my investing career, I looked at my portfolio one day and said:" how do I set up my accounts to pay less taxes in retirement?" So I started googling and Youtubing ( if that is even a word) ways to pay less taxes when I retire, and two words kept coming up over and over: ROTH IRA.

Finding out about this account was a game changer for me and the way I looked at my portfolio from that day forward. I could not believe that there was an account out there that allowed you to contribute money into, then invest it and you can withdraw your money ( contributions and gains) later in life tax free. WHOA!

Let's talk about the Roth IRA today!

Yep, last week was  crazy, exciting, unforeseen and whatever other adjectives you wanna use to describe it. I wanted to drop in your feeds a day early to discuss my thoughts on it all. Why did Gamestop and other bad companies stock skyrocket last week? What did Robinhood do and how do I feel about it? 
Most importantly, my thoughts on why such a great week from our biggest and best companies was overshadowed by companies that would never be discussed in a thousands years otherwise.

Let's discuss...

Where should I go to start investing? Said all new investors out there. And the answer to that is: anywhere!

Though there are plenty of brokerages out there you can use to start investing, I want to discuss the ones that fit each investors level. For example, people think Robinhood is great for new investors, i could not disagree more and I will explain why.

If you are new to investor and to learn about investing in areas/sectors that you care about, there is a special brokerage for you. If you want to create a portfolio of index funds and passively invest, there are a few brokerages made for you. Do you want to use a robo-adviser? trade options? Use a company built by women FOR women? We are gonna talk about it today!

Today, you are going to find out if you fall into the category of trader or investor, and if I still think of myself as a trader or an investor.
