5 Best Fidelity Funds to Buy & Hold Forever
Jason 0 Comments Retire Wealthy Retirement Planning
today we're going to talk about the five best fidelity funds to buy and hold forever hi if you're new to the channel my name is tay from financial tortoise where we learn to grow our wealth slow and steady in order to guide our conversation i'm going to use the three fund portfolio strategy to frame the fidelity funds i'm going to recommend in this video the three fund portfolio is one of the most popular do-it-yourself investment strategies and as the name implies it's made up of three simple funds most often an equities fund an international fund and a bond fund so all the funds i'm going to recommend today will fit into at least one of these slots the first fidelity fund you want to buy and hold forever is fidelity's u.s bond index fund fxnax it tracks the bloomberg barclays u.s aggregate bond index which is composed of investment-grade government bonds corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities it holds approximately 8 400 bonds the top issuers are the u.s treasury or issuers of mortgage-backed securities like fannie mae and freddie mac it has an expense ratio of 0.025 percent which means if you have 10 000 invested in fidelity us bond index fund you're essentially paying 2 dollars and 50 cents for fidelity to manage this fund for you the fund started in 1990 and since then its average annual total return has been 5.33 percent so what are bonds and why do you need them in the simplest term bonds or loans when you buy bonds you're essentially loaning money to someone in this case to a company or a government agency and they're a very important addition to a well-constructed investment portfolio because of how different they are from stocks a good analogy i like to use to frame stocks versus bonds is this think of stocks as your core wealth building engine without it you aren't really going anywhere and bonds are like your brakes without it you could drive yourself off the road when you have bonds in your portfolio it helps to smooth out your investment ride because though they have lower returns they have less volatility during times of market crash where your stock investments can dip by 20 to 30 percent your bond investments will hold steady and ensure your right is so rocky so in order to help you smooth out your investment right you want to start adding them to your portfolio as you get closer to retirement age and if you're invested in fidelity consider fidelity u.s bond index fund as your core bond holding in your portfolio the second fidelity fund you want to buy and hold forever is fidelity total international index fund ftihx the fund tracks the msci all-country world index excluding the united states it represents approximately 5 000 international companies the top companies in this fund are made up of companies like taiwan semiconductor nestle and asml holdings it has an expense ratio of 0.06 percent which means that if you have 10 000 invested in ftihx you're essentially paying six dollars for fidelity to manage this fund for you the fund started in 2016 and since then its average annual total returns has been 5.99 what the fidelity total international index fund will do for you is provide you exposure to the international market outside the united states exposure to different countries sectors and even currencies and we can look at what happened to the japanese stock market as a lesson on why we might want to hold an international fund at the end of 1989 the japanese stock market's capitalized value was considered the largest in the world the nikkei 225 index the index of 225 largest publicly owned companies in japan reached an all-time high of close to 40 000.
Sadly 22 years later the nikkei was under 8 500 and to this day has yet to reach its all-time high again but satur is a japanese investor who failed to invest in international stocks outside of japan the us-based companies are currently the world leader in market capitalization and revenue but who can confidently say that will stay like that in the future it would be unfortunate but the same thing could happen to the u.s stock investors i personally still have strong confidence the u.s economy and u.s based companies as a whole but i also have to continuously check my assumptions financial writer larry swegel had a saying never treat the highly likely as certain and the highly unlikely as impossible as you get more comfortable with the international market you can start adding them to your portfolio and the fidelity total international index fund is a great option to represent your international holdings the third fidelity fund you want to buy and hold forever is fidelity zero total market index fund fzrox the fund tracks fidelity's in-house fidelity u.s total investable market index it represents approximately 2 700 u.s based companies the top holdings in this fund are apple microsoft and amazon it has an expense ratio of zero percent yes you heard me right zero dollars to invest in fidelity zero total market index fund thus the zero in its name the fund started in 2018 and since then its average annual total returns has been 11.82 the fidelity zero total market index fund is a total market index fund which means it tracks the total u.s stock market so this will be a great option as your core equities holding in your three fund portfolio however there are a couple things i do want to note with this fund especially in comparison to the two other equities options i'll cover here in a bit one is the fact that the index it is tracking is fidelity's in-house index fidelity u.s total investment market index this necessarily isn't a bad thing but there are actually more than 2 700 publicly traded companies in the united states than what this fund represents what this fund has done is exclude really small companies from its index in a big scheme of things this doesn't make that much of a difference in performance since the representation is based on market capitalization so the excluded companies would only represent maybe one percent or even less than that of the total fund but this is still something to note the total market here isn't quite the total market a second item to note with the fidelity zero total market index fund is the fact that you can't transfer your shares to another firm without selling your holdings and when you sell your holdings you have to pay taxes on your capital gains the fidelity zero total market index fund was designed with zero percent expense ratio in order to gain more customers so fidelity doesn't want you to move your money to a different firm and this limitation creates that barrier paying zero percent is nice but you won't understand that free comes with some strings attached but if you're planning to stay with fidelity for life fidelity zero total market index fund is a great equities fund to hold the fourth fidelity fund you want to buy and hold forever is fidelity total market index fund fskax the fund tracks the dow jones u.s total stock market index it represents approximately 4 000 u.s based companies the top holdings in the fund are apple microsoft and amazon essentially the same as fidelity zero total market index fund it has an expense ratio of 0.015 percent which means that if you had 10 000 invested in fidelity total market index fund you're essentially paying 1.50 for fidelity to manage this fund for you the fund started in 1997 and since then its average and annual total return has been 8.29 it's fidelity's original total market index fund prior to the introduction of fidelity zero total market index fund and fidelity total market index fund does exactly what his name implies invest in the total u.s stock market essentially every u.s based companies out there when it comes to investing in the stock market the key principle you want to abide by is diversification many people tend to think the only way to make money in the market is to beat the market by either selecting good stocks or good actively managed mutual funds unless you're a professional investor with hundreds of analysts working for you around the clock analysts who are constantly interviewing and researching companies and industries we can't win in the stock picking or fun picking game the odds are just stacked too high against the individual investor so the best strategy to beat wall street is to just track the market and at the lowest cost and fidelity total market index fund is a great fun to hold as your core equity is holding in your portfolio if you want more flexibility from the fidelity zero total market index fund the fifth fidelity fund you want to buy and hold forever is fidelity 500 index fund the fund tracks the s p 500 index which represents the 500 largest publicly traded companies in the united states at the time of this video there are exactly 508 publicly traded companies in this fund the top holdings in this fund are apple microsoft and amazon essentially the same as fidelity zero total market index fund and fidelity total market index fund not a surprise given the company representation is based on market capitalization and these big companies represent a good percentage of the market as a whole it has an expense ratio of 0.015 percent same as fidelity total market index fund so if you have ten thousand dollars invested in fidelity 500 index fund you're essentially paying dollar fifty for fidelity to manage the fund for you the fund is the oldest of the bunch it started in 1988 and since then its average annual total returns has been 10.66 percent when most people talk about the stock market they're most often referring to the standard and poor 500 not the total market index and the reason is because it's so much older it was created in 1926 when it began tracking 90 stocks and in 1957 the list expanded to 500 and for the past century it has been the go-to index to represent the stock market when you turn on any financial news reporters are always discussing how the s p 500 is up 50 points or down 100 points it essentially represents the 500 largest u.s corporations weighed by the value of the market capitalization and because it's weighted by market cap though there are approximately 4 000 publicly traded companies in the united states total these 500 stocks represent about 80 to 85 percent of market value of all u.s stocks and the weight within the index automatically adjusts based upon the changing stock prices to this day the s p 500 remains a standard to which professional mutual fund managers and investment firms compare their returns against so if you want your equities holding to match the performance the largest u.s stocks since they're essentially what moves the market hold fidelity 500 index fund as your core equities holding but i do want to say this whether you choose the fidelity 500 index fund the fidelity total market index fund or the fidelity zero total market index fund as your core equities holding you really can't go wrong with any one of them they're all great funds you just want to understand exactly what you're buying that's it guys i know i normally advocate for vanguard funds but sometimes you may not have the ability to choose the investment firm that you want because maybe your employer doesn't offer it that was the case for me and therefore most of my 401k is actually invested in fidelity fidelity is a great investment firm if you're looking to invest with them pick any of the five that i mentioned here and you can't go wrong if you'd like to learn more about the three fund portfolio and why you might want to consider it as your strategy check out my video here thank you guys for watching until next time all the best

Cars = #1 Wealth Killer

in today's video we're going to talk about the number one wealth killer in america our cars hi if you're new to the channel my name is tay from financial tortoise where we learn to grow our wealth slow and steady you might be thinking hey what are you talking about aren't there so many other things that should come before a car payment that is destroying our wealth how about the rising cost of health care or stagnating wages and what about the crazy inflation rate that is destroying our purchasing power yes all true and i don't disagree that many of these items impact our wealth in detrimental ways however if you can hear me out for the rest of this video i want to help you understand why i believe our cars are really the number one wealth killer here in the united states but first let's start out with some history lessons so we have context regarding cars in america let's face it we as americans are obsessed with cars and nothing says american as our cars these days it's hard to see the distinction between car culture and american culture as cars have become such a significant part of our lives since they first came to be and a big reason for why they stuck around for so long is that they're the epitome of status this allura status that keeps drivers hooked dates all the way back to the ford model t the first affordable american car that changed america as we know it over 100 years ago and since then cars have continued to represent itself as an extension of ourselves and therefore our identity and our status symbol a way to show the world how successful we are when someone parks their lamborghini right next to our 10 year old honda civic don't many of us think man what does this guy do for a living how is he so wealthy he is so cool in my mid-20s i made one of the biggest purchases of my life a brand new volvo s40 i had just gotten my recent promotion in the army and i was making decent money of course i was still living paycheck to paycheck i justified the purchase by saying that i deserved it and i worked hard for it and while that might have been true the truth is that i could have bought a much cheaper car and used that extra money to pay down debt or invest in my future but i didn't because i wanted that status symbol i wanted the car that would churn heads when i drove by now a volvo wasn't really associated with turning heads but at the time i sure felt like i was somebody and that is really the core problem with cars they're most often emotional purchases we buy them with our heart not with our heads and when we do that we often end up overpaying and making poor financial decisions just like i did all right now that you had a good laugh at my money mistakes let's actually look at some numbers and see how cars are literally killing our wealth let's try to understand the average cost of owning a car at the time of this video the average price of a new car in the united states is around 48 000 and given that most new cars are purchased financed the average monthly car payment hovers around 700 however when we consider the ongoing costs like insurance gas or maintenance the true cost of ownership is actually much higher and we aren't even factoring depreciation when purchasing a brand new car a new car can lose up to 20 of its value the moment you drive it off the lot and it doesn't stop there on average a car will lose about 11 percent of its value every year for the first five years so if you bought that 48 thousand dollar car in just five years it'll be worth less than half of what you paid for and after 10 years you'll be worth less than a third so it's not a surprise that many people are upside down on their car payments the bottom line is that car payments in general are a bad idea especially big car payments like 700 a month there might be unique situations where a car payment might make sense for example you originally plan on buying a new car with cash but you chose financing instead because they were offering a zero percent interest however these situations are not normal the vast majority of people aren't using car payments to help out their cash flow situation imagine an average person who started their first job at the age of 25 and settled into a 700 car payment for their entire life this person would trade his or her car over the years but would always have that car payment each time the car is paid off we would head straight to a dealership to pick up a new one and if we did this for 30 years we would have paid over 250 000 in car payments alone and in the end we would only have an older car worth almost nothing to show for it and worse as i mentioned earlier this figure doesn't include the extra money we paid for maintenance insurance and other associated costs with owning a car now imagine that we did something radical and decided to forego or reduce this hefty new car payment for our entire life we decided to purchase a smaller new car or a reliable used car or even more radical use alternate means of transportation and rented cars only when we needed one in these scenarios let's reduce our monthly car expense by half the national average car payment instead of spending 700 a month we instead spend 350 per month and we invest the extra 350 in a good low cost index fund for next 30 years how much do you think we'll have in our investments after 30 years at an average eight percent rate of return over half a million dollars the total contribution amount is around 126 000 but the compounding added close to additional four hundred thousand dollars for investments for half a million dollars i personally don't mind driving a humble economical vehicle versus a car that supposedly shows my wealth to the rest of the world that really doesn't care about me anyways car payments are not a way of life and if we think that since we had one ever since we could remember it's time to change that mindset it's easy to blame external factors for our life and money problems but what is interesting is that most often we blame everything else but our high car payments for our inability to get ahead we blame our employers for not giving us the raise we deserve or our parents for not educating us enough we blame health insurance premiums the price of groceries the housing market and even the price of gas but how often do we focus our efforts on high car payments most often not so many of us myself included have become socially conditioned to believe that a huge car payment is a fact of life because having a nice car is a way of life it's an extension of who we are we wouldn't go out to the mall wearing tattered clothes so how can we be on the road with a rundown vehicle we tell ourselves that everyone has a car payment and that is normal and okay and if we're going to have a car payment anyways we might as well get the car we want right this kind of thinking is so widespread and so embedded into our culture that it's almost an epidemic the fact is that we don't need to think this way and in actuality it is very harmful to think this way because it's detrimental to our wealth alright now that we recognize the detrimental impact of having a car payment is to our wealth what can we do let me share with you some practical tips number one tip is a bit general but it is to delay gratification or learning delayed gratification if this is something we struggle with and i totally empathize with people who like buying new cars if we're completely honest with ourselves myself included buying a new car is fun not only do you get to enjoy the coveted new car smell but you get to show off in front of your family and friends and no matter how much the privilege costs it feels so good to drive your new car off the lot and cruise down the street unfortunately that is a short term thinking as many of us myself included might have experienced first hand the new car smell the excitement you feel when you get to drive a new car to work i'm sorry to say but these feelings are temporary and they're fleeting after a fairly short amount of time the new car excitement turns into mundane uneventful reality soon your car isn't so new anymore it's just something that you drive to costco on a weekly basis if we want to do something different and build our wealth in the process we need to change our new car mindset let's learn to delay gratification if you currently have a car and have been thinking about getting a new one see if you can drag it out for several more years the simple act of delayed gratification can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars in the long run second tip is a bit more practical and that is to consider buying used as i mentioned earlier one of the greatest negative financial impact of buying a new car is its depreciation a new car can literally lose up to 20 of his value the moment you drive it off the parking lot after five years it'll be worth no more than half of its original value a used vehicle depreciates at a much slower rate than a new vehicle this is because once you're behind the will of the car it will have already gone through the majority of its depreciation and it's much cheaper thus your monthly payment if you choose to finance will be much lower if you're worried about the condition of a used vehicle because you never purchased one consider a certified pre-owned vehicle you'll still save money by buying a used car but gain additional confidence the reliability of the vehicle in essence certified pre-owned or cpo are vehicles that meet manufacturers establish standards and carry some form of guarantee against defects similar to a new car warranty the third tip is to never lease a car leasing a car is tempting because the monthly payments are much lower than purchasing a car however it gets quite expensive in the long run when you lease you're basically paying for the use of the vehicle for the first two to three years of his life when the car depreciates the most when your lease is over you either have to lease another car or purchase one starting the cycle all over again buying a new car might be expensive initially but once you paid off the loans you at least own the car and won't have any car payments as long as you continue to drive it with leasing you don't have this option you will always have a car payment the fourth tip may sound a bit extreme but is to consider no car if you live in an area where there is a good public transportation and you don't have to commute long distance for work it might be feasible to ditch your car altogether not only will you save on car payments but you also save on gas insurance and maintenance cost it may not be the most glamorous solution but it is a practical one that can free up a significant amount of money each month cars are one of the biggest wealth killers out there if you really want to build true wealth you need to be mindful of your car choices and avoid the temptation to overspend there's nothing wrong with owning a car but there is something wrong with letting the car own you think carefully about your needs and make smart financial choices that will help you grow your wealth over time thank you guys for watching if you'd like to learn more about some other ways to save money check out a few of my videos here until next

Cars = #1 Wealth Killer

in today'' s video we ' re going to discuss the primary wealth awesome in america our cars hi if you ' re new to the channel my name is tay from economic turtle where we discover to expand our wide range slow as well as constant you may be believing hey what are you speaking about aren'' t there so several various other things that ought to come prior to a cars and truck settlement that is damaging our wide range exactly how regarding the climbing expense of wellness care or stagnating earnings and also what about the insane rising cost of living rate that is damaging our buying power of course all real and also i put on'' t disagree that most of these items impact our riches in detrimental methods however if you can hear me out for the rest of this video i want to help you comprehend why i think our automobiles are actually the top wealth killer here in the united states yet initial let'' s begin out with some history lessons so we have context concerning autos in america let'' s encounter it we as americans are obsessed with cars as well as nothing states american as our cars these days it'' s tough to see the distinction between cars and truck culture and also american culture as cars and trucks have come to be such a considerable part of our lives considering that they initially happened and a large reason for why they lingered for as long is that they'' re the epitome of condition this allura condition that keeps chauffeurs hooked days completely back to the ford design t the very first budget-friendly american car that transformed america as we recognize it over 100 years ago and also ever since vehicles have remained to represent itself as an expansion of ourselves as well as as a result our identification and our standing sign a means to show the world how effective we are when someone parks their lamborghini right following to our 10 year old honda civic don'' t a number of us think male what does this guy provide for a living just how is he so rich he is so amazing in my mid-20s i made one of the greatest acquisitions of my life an all new volvo s40 i had actually simply gotten my recent promo in the military as well as i was making respectable cash obviously i was still living income to paycheck i validated the purchase by claiming that i deserved it as well as i functioned hard for it and also while that could have held true the truth is that i can have gotten a more affordable car and made use of that additional money to pay down debt or buy my future yet i didn'' t because i desired that status symbol i desired the car that would certainly churn heads when i drove now a volvo wasn'' t truly linked with turning heads but at the time i certain really felt like i was someone and also that is truly the core trouble with autos they'' re frequently psychological acquisitions we purchase them with our heart not with our heads and when we do that we usually end up overpaying as well as making inadequate financial decisions much like i did all right now that you had an excellent laugh at my money mistakes allow'' s really check out some numbers and see exactly how automobiles are essentially eliminating our riches allow'' s try to comprehend the average cost of owning an automobile at the time of this video the typical price of a new auto in the united states is around 48 000 as well as considered that the majority of brand-new autos are purchased funded the ordinary regular monthly vehicle payment floats around 700 however when we consider the continuous prices like insurance policy gas or upkeep truth cost of ownership is in fact much greater and we aren'' t even factoring depreciation when buying a brand-new car a new car can lose up to 20 of its value the minute you drive it off the great deal as well as it doesn'' t stop there typically a car will lose about 11 percent of its worth annually for the initial 5 years so if you acquired that 48 thousand buck cars and truck in just 5 years it'' ll be worth less than half of what you spent for as well as after ten years you'' ll deserve much less than a 3rd so it'' s not a surprise that many individuals are upside down on their auto settlements the lower line is that car payments generally are a poor concept specifically big automobile payments like 700 a month there may be special scenarios where a car settlement might make good sense for instance you initially intend on getting a new car with cash money however you picked funding rather since they were providing an absolutely no percent interest however these scenarios are not typical the huge bulk of people aren'' t using auto payments to aid out their money flow scenario picture a typical person who began their initial work at the age of 25 and also settled into a 700 auto payment for their entire life this person would certainly trade his or her cars and truck over the years but would always have that auto repayment each time the car is paid off we would certainly head straight to a dealer to grab a new one and if we did this for thirty years we would have paid over 250 000 in automobile payments alone and also ultimately we would only have an older automobile worth almost nothing to show for it as well as even worse as i pointed out previously this figure doesn'' t consist of the money we paid for upkeep insurance and other connected expenses with owning a vehicle now envision that we did something radical and also chose to bypass or reduce this hefty brand-new car payment for our whole life we determined to purchase a smaller sized brand-new automobile or a trustworthy previously owned automobile or even more radical usage alternating methods of transportation and also leased autos just when we required one in these situations let'' s minimize our regular monthly cars and truck cost by half the national average vehicle payment as opposed to investing 700 a month we rather invest 350 monthly and also we spend the extra 350 in a great reduced cost index fund for following three decades just how a lot do you assume we'' ll have in our financial investments after thirty years at a typical 8 percent rate of return over half a million bucks the total contribution quantity is around 126 000 yet the intensifying included near extra four hundred thousand bucks for financial investments for half a million bucks i personally put on'' t mind driving a humble economical vehicle versus an auto that supposedly reveals my wealth to the rest of the world that actually doesn'' t appreciate me anyways automobile payments are not a lifestyle and if we believe that since we had one since we could remember it'' s time to alter that mindset it'' s simple at fault exterior aspects for our life and cash troubles but what is fascinating is that usually we blame every little thing else but our high automobile repayments for our lack of ability to obtain in advance we condemn our companies for not providing us the raising we are worthy of or our parents for not enlightening us enough we criticize wellness insurance premiums the cost of groceries the housing market as well as even the rate of gas yet exactly how usually do we focus our initiatives over auto repayments frequently not so several people myself included have actually ended up being socially conditioned to think that a big car settlement is a truth of life because having a nice cars and truck is a way of living it'' s an extension of that we are we wouldn'' t head out to the shopping mall using scruffy clothes so how can we be on the road with a review vehicle we inform ourselves that everyone has a cars and truck settlement which is regular and also alright and if we'' re mosting likely to have an auto settlement anyways we could too obtain the vehicle we desire right this type of reasoning is so extensive and also so ingrained into our culture that it'' s almost an epidemic the reality is that we don'' t demand to think this means as well as in reality it is very harmful to assume this method since it'' s harmful to our wide range okay currently that we recognize the damaging influence of having an automobile payment is to our riches what can we do let me show to you some useful pointers top pointer is a bit basic but it is to delay gratification or discovering postponed gratification if this is something we fight with and also i entirely understand with people who like getting brand-new cars and trucks if we'' re completely truthful with ourselves myself consisted of buying a brand-new auto is fun not just do you reach take pleasure in the sought after new auto odor but you reach display in front of your family and also good friends and also despite exactly how much the benefit costs it really feels so excellent to drive your brand-new cars and truck off the whole lot and also cruise ship down the road however that is a short-term reasoning as much of us myself consisted of may have experienced initial hand the brand-new auto smell the exhilaration you feel when you reach drive a new auto to function i'' m sorry to say however these feelings are temporary as well as they'' re short lived after a rather brief amount of time the new automobile enjoyment turns into ordinary uneventful truth soon your auto isn'' t'so new anymore it ' s just something that you drive to costco on a weekly basis if we wish to do something different as well as construct our riches at the same time we require to transform our brand-new automobile mindset let'' s learn to delay gratification if you presently have a vehicle and also have been thinking of obtaining a new one see if you can drag it out for a number of even more years the simple act of delayed gratification can suggest hundreds of thousands of dollars in the long run 2nd pointer is a little bit a lot more useful as well as that is to think about purchasing used as i pointed out earlier among the best unfavorable monetary impact of getting a brand-new cars and truck is its devaluation a brand-new cars and truck can actually lose as much as 20 of his value the moment you drive it off the car park after 5 years it'' ll deserve no greater than fifty percent of its initial value a made use of lorry decreases at a much slower rate than a brand-new car this is because when you'' re behind the will of the auto it will have already gone through most of its depreciation as well as it'' s more affordable thus your regular monthly repayment if you pick to fund will be much lower if you'' re bothered with the problem of a made use of automobile due to the fact that you never purchased one consider a licensed used automobile you'' ll still save cash by buying a used car yet gain added self-confidence the dependability of the lorry basically accredited previously owned or cpo are cars that fulfill makers establish requirements as well as carry some kind of guarantee versus problems similar to a new vehicle service warranty the 3rd idea is to never ever rent an auto renting a vehicle is tempting due to the fact that the monthly settlements are much reduced than acquiring a vehicle nonetheless it obtains rather costly over time when you lease you'' re basically paying for using the vehicle for the first 2 to 3 years of his life when the cars and truck decreases one of the most when your lease mores than you either have to rent another cars and truck or acquisition one starting the cycle throughout again getting a brand-new automobile might be costly initially however once you settled the lendings you at the very least own the car and won'' t have any kind of auto payments as long as you proceed to drive it with renting you wear'' t have this alternative you will certainly always have a cars and truck payment the fourth suggestion may appear a bit severe yet is to think about no car if you live in an area where there is a good mass transit and also you put on'' t have to commute far away for job it could be practical to ditch your car completely not only will you save money on vehicle settlements but you also reduce gas insurance policy and upkeep expense it may not be one of the most glamorous service however it is an useful one that can liberate a considerable amount of cash monthly automobiles are among the largest wide range awesomes out there if you actually wish to build true riches you require to be mindful of your cars and truck options and also prevent the temptation to spend too much there'' s absolutely nothing incorrect with possessing an auto however there is something wrong with allowing the automobile own you think thoroughly about your requirements and make clever economic choices that will certainly aid you expand your riches gradually thanks people for watching
