laura54+FollowWhy Saying 'No' Can Make You RichDave Ramsey just dropped a truth bomb: most Americans are richer than they think, but all that comfort can make us lazy with money.

Saying 'no' to impulse buys is the simplest way to get ahead, even if it’s not always fun. #Business #MoneyHacks #PersonalFinance20Share

Diane Carter+FollowWhy some experts say skip building creditTurns out, you don’t actually need a credit score to buy a car or even a house. On a recent episode of The Ramsey Show, a Mississippi mom asked how her 17-year-old should start building credit. The hosts surprised her by saying it’s totally possible—and maybe even smarter—to avoid credit cards and debt altogether. They explained how you can rent, buy a car with cash, and even get a mortgage through something called manual underwriting, all without a credit score. This flips everything we’ve been told about money. Would you ever ditch your credit score? #Business #MakeMoney #PersonalFinance00Share

Aaron Ballard+FollowHome Equity Loans: Are They Worth It Now?Thinking about tapping into your home’s value for extra cash? After the Fed’s October rate cut, a $30K home equity loan now means monthly payments of about $289–$367, a few bucks less than earlier this year. Not a game-changer, but every dollar counts—especially with holiday spending coming up. Just remember, you’re putting your house on the line, so do the math before jumping in. HELOCs are another option if you want flexibility, but rates can swing. Shop smart! #RealEstate #HomeEquityLoan #PersonalFinance00Share
brenda51+FollowMy employer only matches 20% of my 401k. What does this mean exactly?I just started a new job and I need some help decoding my benefits package. My company says they match 20 percent of my 401k contribution on a per-pay basis. This seems incredibly low to me. I'm trying to figure out if this means if I put in $100, they only put in $20. I need to know if that math is accurate. To make things even more complicated, they have a tiered vesting schedule that really slows things down. I do not get fully vested until I hit five years of service. Before then, I only get 20 percent between years two and three, 40 percent between three and four, and 60 percent between four and five. It feels like they are making it really hard to get the money. Financial experts and HR pros, I need your input. First, is my interpretation of the 20 percent match correct. Second, is this policy with the five-year vesting schedule actually considered "good" in today's job market or is it a major red flag I should worry about? #401k #RetirementPlanning #PersonalFinance #MoneyAdvice #Vesting #Benefits 916Share
