27. Q&A Quickie: Investing at 40, Social Security and Money Mindset
Market MakeHer Podcast
Why a 40s Start Still Works
Jess Inskip explains that starting near 40 is late but feasible, urging a more growth-oriented approach and higher savings.
We have a Market MakeHer short and sweet Q&A for you today regarding investing a little bit later.
Question from listener @spacey on TikTok: Should I be worried if I haven't started investing yet and I'm approaching 40?
Short Answer: No, but get started ASAP! Like we've said in previous episodes, time in the market is your best strategy. Cut down expenses and invest as much as you can (within reason).
Social Security
If you have been working, then you have social security. There's a government social security tool that can help you figure out how much you might be getting in those benefits.
Other Investments
If you have a home, that's an investment that can help you out later, or you might have other assets.
Money Mindset
We'll have an episode on this. Everyone has a different kind of relationship with money. Stay logical with your money instead of emotional. Check out Episode 25: Pay Yourself First for more budgeting tips.
