☆ Don’t buy a home as an investment, says CFP: It’s just a ‘roof over your head’
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-20 | by ( Mike Winters | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

When it comes to buying a home, think of it as a place to live — not as an investment. A home can have sentimental value too, but otherwise it's "very tough to calculate the return on your investment," he said. "If you sell the home many years down the road and you make some money — fantastic," Boneparth said. However, it's very difficult to keep track of "every little repair and addition you've made to that house" over "20 or even 30 years" of ownership. Boneparth makes an exception for rental properties, since they can generate revenue for their owners.

Federal student loan borrowers had payments due on their loans this October for the first time in over three years. "We have to take control over our student loans," Boneparth said. Here's the first step to take if you're overwhelmed by paying back your student loans, and where to go from there. Federal student loans can be confusing because you take the loan out from the government, not a specific bank or private lender. But once the loan is disbursed, you're assigned one of several federal loan servicers.

Financial advisors will tell you that you need a plan for every dollar you earn in income. You likely know how much you need to put toward rent and utilities each month, for instance. How much you're willing or able to save depends on a number of factors unique to you, such as your income, debt level and personal goals. For people earning a $50,000 annual salary, stashing $5,000 a year "is a good start," he added. "Getting into that 20% to 30% category is deemed really good to excellent.

☆ $70 billion Los Angeles retirement plan says higher rates may 'change everything' and portfolio moves are coming

A year into the most significant period of Federal Reserve rate hikes in decades, you might think investors had already cemented their investment portfolio strategies for a higher interest rate world. According to LACERA's 2022 annual report, its investments were split between roughly $24 billion in public equities, $19 billion in bonds, $13 billion in private equity, $6 billion in real estate, $4 billion in hedge funds and $1 billion in real assets. Last year was the first in the prior three fiscal years that the pension fund's investment portfolio lost money. By contrast, investment returns of 25.2% in 2021 were far ahead of the 7% percent, which LACERA attributed to the strong performance from global equity and private equity assets. A shift to more fixed income among top investors will flow through to the "whole economy," Grabel said.
