Can't Wait To Retire? Watch For These Financial Red Flags

Description

Just because you've worked hard and saved for years, don't be complacent--it doesn't mean you can afford to retire. According to Business Insider, if you haven't upped your savings rate over the years, you may not have saved enough. That's because the typical 3% people put into their 401(k)s just isn't enough to cut it these days. Another red flag is that you saved cash over the years, but didn't invest it. Despite the vagaries of the stock market, investing money is better than stuffing it into a piggy bank. Finally, if you've made significant early withdrawals from your retirement plan, you're probably years away from retirement. Preparing for retirement is a matter that requires planning, strategy, and active participation. Seek out professional advice.

The Five Red Flags To Look Out For When Interviewing A Personal Financial Adviser

Zoe Financial CEO Andres Garcia-Amaya interviewed 1,325 financial advisors, planners, and accountants in the process of starting the company. And according to Business Insider, he learned to spot five red flags to look for when considering engaging a personal financial adviser. First, Garcia-Amaya warns you should watch out for anyone overly focused on short-term gains. After all, most people use advisers for help with long-range goals. Next, if an adviser immediately starts pushing you towards just one particular financial instrument, such as an annuity, on the first meeting be concerned. Also, are they bragging about how many clients they have, or trying to convince you they can beat the market? Next! Finally, just search the SEC's website for the adviser's name. That will reveal any bankruptcies they have or complaints made against them.

Wait Your Turn? Minority-Owned Business Owners Waited Longest For PPP Funds

The US Federal government's Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, doled out hundreds of billions of dollars to businesses.

But according to Business Insider, many minority-owned businesses were left waiting for funds until the final weeks of the program. Many of our businesses were being turned down in the first and second round of funding. That caused application fatigue and frustration. Ron Busby President, US Black Chambers The Center For Responsible Lending says minority-owned businesses support 8.7 million jobs with an annual total payroll of $280 billion.
