Are You Making Banks Wealthy

Friday Sep 25, 2020
We’ve become comfortable thinking that safe money is money that we’ve put in the bank. Things have changed but somehow that thought persists, even though it's no longer the banks making us wealthier, but more often, us making banks wealthy. It's important to know about other safe money strategies. There are alternatives to bank savings that allow for saving money outside the market, and for tax-free money in retirement.
In “Are You Making Banks Wealthy”, Crystal Langdon talks about the thought process behind saving and discusses strategies for saving and how those may vary, depending on your situation.
