Another great blog post from Ben Carlson at www.awealthofcommonsense.com:

"The main takeaway here is the way to save on a lower income is the same way you should save at a higher income:
- Live on less than you earn
- Automate your savings
- Increase your savings rate each year
- Save a little more money each year
- Increase your earning potential"

Don't underestimate the power of compounding over the decades.

Ben Carlson's blog is one of the best personal finance blogs. Highly recommended!

"Intelligent investors realize effort is often inversely related to results in the market. Just because you do more or try harder doesn’t guarantee better results. In fact, doing more is more often than not damaging to your investment performance.

Doing less or doing nothing at all most of the time is the right way forward for the majority of investors.

This is why you stay the course."

Doing nothing is harder than it sounds.

The S&P 500 is up 16% since the lows of 2022. It's up 9% for 2023 so far. Investing in Index Funds is a very effective and diversified way to grow your money and keep up with inflation.
