Professional fund managers are in charge of investing billions of dollars for investors. They're often highly educated, have years of investment experience, and get paid well for their skills and expertise. But the truth is most aren't worth the fees they charge. It doesn't take an advanced degree or special insider knowledge to do better than the vast majority of actively-managed mutual funds.

Social Security's 3.2% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2024 was the third-highest in the last decade, but it hasn't provided the relief many seniors were hoping for. Average checks are just $1,917 per month as of May 2024. More than 3 in 5 seniors feel the bump in their benefits was insufficient, according to The Motley Fool's 2024 Social Security Cost-of-Living Survey.

Retirement accounts like a 401(k) and IRA come with a lot of advantages. Incentives like matching contributions , tax deductions and credits, and tax-free growth can help supercharge your retirement savings. You can't avoid taxes on your retirement savings indefinitely, though. Eventually, the government will want you to start withdrawing money from those accounts, which may come with a hefty tax bill.

Who wouldn't want passive income? By definition, it's cash that just comes to you without you toiling for it. You don't have to work at a job, inherit money from a wealthy relative, or even rob a bank for this money. There are many potential sources of passive income , and not all will appeal to everyone. You might buy properties and rent them out, for example -- but that does require occasional effort and some real estate savvy.
