☆ Here's how much money Americans have in their 401(k)s at every income level—see how you compare
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-25 | by ( Mike Winters | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Americans' workplace retirement account balances are growing — but they're still lower than what people say they need to be on track for retirement, new data reveals. The median account balance in the U.S. is now $35,286, according to Vanguard's annual How America Saves report, which tracked the performance of 401(k)s and similar plans in 2023. Some of the lower balance totals have to do with age, too: People often make and save less money earlier in their careers. "People tend to accelerate retirement contributions as they get older because they tend to earn more, but also because they're getting closer to retirement age," says Michelle Gessner, a certified financial planner in Houston. Compound interest is interest that's continually earned on both the principal amount and any accumulated interest, leading to exponential growth over time.

☆ For Some Investors, Aging and Empty Office Buildings Aren’t a Bad Thing
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-12 | by ( Matthew Goldstein | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

A perfect storm of plunging property values for aging buildings, weak tenant demand coming out of the pandemic and high interest rates for new loans and refinancing has left the $2.4 trillion office building sector wobbling. For some real estate investors, that may be a good thing. In April, a little-known firm, Yellowstone Real Estate Investments, paid $185 million for 1740 Broadway, a storied office tower near Columbus Circle in Manhattan. And this week, two real estate firms snapped up a Midtown Manhattan tower for less than $50 million, according to Bloomberg. Even though these are relatively small buyers, their emergence is a sign of the pain building in the U.S. commercial real estate market.

Jonathan and Jacqueline Sanchez pushed their net worth over $1 million in 2021, through a combination of savings, investments and real estate equity. But it took awhile for Jonathan, who grew up in a frugal, single-parent household to feel fully financially secure, despite the couple's millionaire status. But the diversity of their income sources, as well as their commitment to being frugal, are some of the major reasons the couple now lives — and spends — comfortably. Rather, think of how you'd live in the case of a real financial emergency. Having a diversified group of income sources allows the couple to feel financially secure, even as they go through the usual ups and downs of launching and growing an online business.

Sam Dogen is the author of "Buy This, Not That"Sam Dogen knows a thing or two about passive income. By reinvesting his passive income along with money he made through his website and book sales, Dogen was able to boost the family's income over the years as well. In 2023, Dogen's passive income portfolio, which includes stock, bond and real estate investments, among others, generated about $380,000. According to Dogen, the best way to begin earning passive income is through your brokerage account. "If you want passive income right now, I think the best option is Treasury bonds at 5%," he says.

That's the year that Dogen quit his job as an investment banker, having spent 13 years working, saving, investing and generally burning himself out. Over the years, Dogen built his passive income streams to about $380,000 annually — $288,000 net of taxes. That was enough to cover the family budget while living in San Francisco — until now. By swapping income-producing assets for a house, "I basically have a lot more dead money now," Dogen says. That means his passive income streams no longer cover his family budget — so back to work it is.

Norway's sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest, was established in the 1990s to invest the surplus revenues of the country's oil and gas sector.

The fund said a negative year for its unlisted real estate investments was due to rising interest rates and subdued demand.

CNN —Alphabet’s Google has scrapped a development deal to build $15 billion worth of homes, offices and retail space in California’s Silicon Valley. The announcement comes amid a period of deep cost-cutting and layoffs for Google and during a time when commercial real estate is faltering. Billion-dollar investmentsIn June 2019, Google made a $1 billion pledge to help develop more affordable housing in the increasingly unaffordable region. A month later, Google partnered with Lendlease to redevelop its landholdings for a 10- to 15-year project valued at $15 billion. Lending to commercial real estate developers and managers largely comes from small and mid-sized banks, where the pressure on liquidity has been most severe.
