While you're doing so, it's also important to consider what counts as "earned income" for a child's Roth IRA. The maximum annual contribution for 2024 is $7,000 or the total of the child's earned income for the year — whichever is less. For instance, if a 16-year-old works at a coffee shop and earns $4,000 over the summer, that $4,000 qualifies as earned income. Earnings from a part-time job, such as working at a grocery store, fast food restaurant, or retail shop, count as earned income.

However, one woman says she has made it her life’s mission to empower Africa’s squeezed middle class. She is the co-founder of Volition Cap, an investment cooperative that aims to help Africans build wealth and financial stability. But the middle class are the ones that create the most small and medium scale enterprises. So my focus on the middle class is actually very deliberate, because I realize that the middle class is the economic destiny of Africa,” Plumptre told CNN. That was what happened to my parents.”This tragedy made Subomi realize that she, like many middle class individuals, lacked a safety net when faced with critical emergencies.

We will only consider more general questions about the investment process or stocks in the portfolio or related industries. However, it's important to also consider a company's underlying fundamentals and not just the stock price. After all, price is what you pay and value is what you get, so it's important to consider whether the stock price reflects the business fundamentals. For us, that might be Apple (AAPL) and Nvidia (NVDA) as we've designated these "own, don't trade" stocks.

Citadel, one of the largest hedge funds, accepts just 1% of applicants to its associate program. Few college students know what a hedge fund is, let alone that they want to work for one. Its associate program lets aspiring fund managers skip the traditional two-year investment banking program that is usually a prerequisite for a hedge fund job. The associate program is different from Citadel's broader internship program. But the accelerated nature of the CAP program appealed to him over other opportunities, he said.

It's certainly an important question, and one many investors are likely asking after a year of rate hikes and falling stock prices. The major fear is not only that inflation stays high if the Fed fails to act decisively; it could also accelerate.
