How much someone receives in Social Security retirement benefits depends largely on their career earnings. Broadly speaking, the more someone earns, the more they can expect to receive in Social Security (up to a certain point). The problem with that, however, is that not everyone has a career of suitable earnings. Some people spend time at home raising children; some people have inconsistent work histories for whatever reason; and some people work in lower-paying jobs that don't contribute much

The recent market correction has brought on significant investor pain. With the market suffering the worst one-day drop since 2022 on March 10, buying may be the last thing some investors want to do. Nonetheless, the market has rebounded from every previous downturn in history and will almost certainly recoup the losses from this one at some point. Knowing that, investors should look at what stocks they might want to buy amid the correction.

It's difficult to buy great growth stocks at a discount. That's especially true when the market already expects rapid growth to occur in the near future. But Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) shares could be an exception to the rule. Over the next 12 months, analysts expect Lucid's revenue to grow by nearly 100%. Yet due to some short-term challenges, shares have lost nearly 30% of their value since the year began, pushing the stock to its lowest levels in years according to many valuation metrics.

Put your money to work, sit back, and reap the rewards. These are the primary steps involved in generating passive income. Investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offers an easy way to follow this process. Vanguard is one of the top ETF managers known for its low costs. While many of the company's 90 ETFs are good alternatives for investors seeking passive income, a handful offers especially attractive yields.

Stock market corrections (a decline of 10% or more from the recent high) can be a gift to dividend-seeking investors. As stock prices fall, dividend yields rise, enabling investors to lock in higher yields on many top dividend stocks. I've been capitalizing on the recent stock market correction by buying more shares of many of my favorite dividend stocks.

Shopify (NYSE: SHOP) may have minted some millionaires by now. It's been a public company for nearly 10 years, and if you'd invested $10,000 on its first day of trading, you'd have more than $350,000 today. But even though Shopify isn't a new company, in many ways, it's just starting to take off. E-commerce is growing as a percentage of retail sales, and a lot of it is happening on Shopify's platform.

The initial public offering (IPO) market has been ice-cold since 2021. In 2020 and 2021, we saw a deluge of companies entering the public markets, especially via a boom in special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). Many of these ended up being poorly run businesses, and some were even frauds. Ever since then, there has been a mere trickle of new stock listings, as start-ups decided to remain private.

If you've been an investor for a while, you've likely heard Warren Buffett's advice: "You can't buy what is popular and do well." And his point is well taken. Plenty of stocks are overvalued simply because everyone seems willing to pay a premium price to own them.

Things have changed rapidly for Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) stock in 2025. Just a few weeks ago, I assessed whether shares were worth buying after losing a fifth of their value this year. I concluded that buying the dip didn't make sense; the valuation relative to the company's underlying fundamentals simply seemed too high. But what about now? As of this writing, shares are down about 39% year to date.

Stock market sell-offs are often great opportunities to buy dividend stocks. That's because dividend yields move in the opposite direction of stock prices. So, with the stock market recently correcting (defined as a decline of 10% or more from the peak) , dividend yields are now higher. One of the easiest ways to capitalize on this opportunity is to buy the Schwab U.S.
