Retirement Quick Tips with Ashley


May 29, 2022

It’s Sunday, which means...it’s recap time here on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast

This week the theme was: How To Earn More On Your Cash

In case you missed any episodesI talked about how you can earn more on your cash though a variety of investments without sacrificing liquidity when needed or putting your money at a significant risk, just to earn a little more yield. With interest rates still very low, there aren’t a lot of options, but I tried giving you a few idea this week, including:

  • Money Market Funds
  • High-Yield Savings Accounts
  • Floating Rate Funds
  • T-Bills
  • Short-Term Corporate Bonds

The most important takeaway from this week is: 

Tomorrow, come on back because we’re starting a brand new theme: Don’t Just Sit There, Do Something! 

As I record today’s episode, the S&P 500 has dropped 16% this year. At one point just a few days ago, it nearly touched bear market territory, which is a drop of 20% or more. So with the stock and bond markets in a tailspin this year, it’s tempting to step in to stop the bleeding. While it would be a big mistake to sell your investments and abandon your long-term investment strategy during a downturn in the stock market, it doesn’t mean that you just have to sit there either and do nothing.

So next week, I’ll share with you some important and productive actions you can take during this scary time.
