When I was younger my 'savings' went to investments. I started buying stocks in the early 90's. I hit some winners and also bought some turkeys. For the most part US stocks are good. I was not a day trader in any way. Usually made 2-3 trades a year. If you are on the young side buy stocks in solid companies and leave them alone.
I'm 65 now and I have used a financial advisor for about 2 years. We left CA about 18 months ago and obviously our money goes farther here in northern AZ. We watch our monthly expenses, cook at home 90% of the time and my days of buying toys are long over. My hunting rifles are probably 30+ years old as are my optics. I've never been the guy who needed the newest stuff.
Inflation is killing most Americans. The price of food, fuel, utilities and most necessary items are ridiculous. I have no idea how young families can make it nowadays. Since retirement, I've become a coupon cutter. I've always been a careful shopper and I'm even more so now. We don't cut back on the quality of our food.
US credit card debt just passed one trillion dollars. People are in trouble.
