Although the thought of saving $1 million or more by the time you reach retirement age may seem overwhelming, the process doesn't have to be — especially if you start early. Instead of focusing on the total, try paying attention to your savings rate, which is the percentage of your annual pre-tax income you're contributing to your retirement investment account. But your savings rate is something you can control. Fidelity recommends a savings rate of at least 15%, inclusive of any employer match. To that point, you can begin your retirement savings journey by setting aside just $10 a day, or $70 a week.

In this photo illustration, a visual representation of the digital Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is on display on March 5, 2024 in Paris, France. As meme stocks like GameStop temporarily surged this month, it appears meme coins are having a moment as well. But before you consider investing in cryptocurrency, it's important to understand the difference between meme coins, altcoins and bitcoin. And although every meme coin is an altcoin, every altcoin isn't necessarily a meme coin. "Meme coins are among the riskiest of cryptocurrencies because they seem to emerge from nowhere and information about them can be sparse," he says.

Gen Z outpaces all other age groups in active stock trading, according to a Bankrate survey. However, a Bankrate analyst says they should become more passive investors. Gen Z investors aren't just bailing out of the market either. The same survey notes that Gen Z investors aren't just bailing out of the market. Over half, or 53%, of Gen Z investors said they expect to invest in stock-related investments in 2023, compared to just 19% of Gen X investors and 9% of baby boomer investors.

Almost 9 in 10 young investors have actively traded stocks this year due to higher interest rates and inflation, according to a new Bankrate survey. "If younger investors trade in and out of the market, that's almost guaranteed to underperform," said James Royal, a Bankrate analyst who conducted the research. The Federal Reserve started raising interest rates aggressively in March 2022 to rein in persistently high inflation. But higher interest rates also meant better rates on savings accounts, such as high-yield accounts offered by online banks. Eighty-seven percent of Generation Z investors have responded to higher interest rates and inflation by buying or selling stocks, or by withholding additional investment, according to Bankrate.

It's just ridiculous that anybody would buy this stuff," Munger, 99, told CNBC's Becky Quick during a livestream of the event, adding: "It's totally absolutely crazy, stupid gambling." "I think the people who oppose my position are idiots, so I don't think there is a rational argument against my position," he said. Munger's comments come amid an avalanche of problems for crypto investors over the past year. He's previously urged the U.S. government to ban cryptocurrencies, and may partially get his wish as the crypto industry faces rising regulatory crackdowns. "In other words, an adviser may custody crypto assets at a bank, but banks are cautioned by their regulators not to custody crypto assets," Uyeda wrote.

About 38% of Gen Zers (defined here as 25 and under) and 46% of millennials (defined here as age 26 to 41) say crypto investing is highly risky. Younger generations, however, appear to be more willing to take a chance on crypto investing than older generations. About 60% of Americans believe investing in digital currency is highly risky — up from 45% in 2021, according to the recent CNBC Make It: Your Money survey, conducted in partnership with Momentive . Crypto remains among the least popular investments: Only about 10% of Americans say they own any, according to the survey.

Billionaire Mark Cuban isn't giving up on crypto, despite the implosion of FTX, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges. However, Cuban says former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried should be "afraid of gong to jail for a long time," in an interview with TMZ.

Cryptocurrency enthusiasts may want to consider moving to Nevada: It ranks as the No. Local governments aren't allowed to tax blockchain technology, the underlying tech that cryptocurrency relies on to operate, for example.
