  • Resumen

  • Renting vs. buying a house: when it comes to FIRE, many people assume that you must own a home and preferably have it paid off to reach financial freedom. But is this really true? With renting so much cheaper than buying in 2024, would it be wiser to rent a place and send the savings to your investment accounts? Today, we’re tackling this topic and a few other heavy hitters as we give our takes on four of the hottest financial headlines. Kyle Mast, certified financial planner, joins Scott Trench to share FIRE-first thoughts on these not-so-easy-to-answer questions. First, we give our take on the ever-relevant renting vs. buying debate and ask whether things have changed since high mortgage rates have made buying a home much more expensive. Then, how do you manage savings and investments with interest rates so high—should you keep your money in a high-yield savings account or search for better opportunities even with savings yields so high? Think your nest egg is a little too light? We share the average 401(k) balance for those close to retirement and give our strategies to boost retirement savings before you leave full-time work. Finally, for those struggling to take care of elderly parents, our last headline is for you. We talk about the growing number of Americans physically, mentally, andfinancially caring for aging parents and how you can set yourself up in the best position possible to care for those in your life. In This Episode We Cover Buying vs. renting a house in 2024 and whether homeownership is required for FIRE The best housing investments you can make to propel your net worth and savings rate Saving and investing during higher interest rates and the type of “opportunities” you must be looking out for The shocking average 401(k) balance and what you can do to increase income in retirement How to ensure your children DON’T have to financially care for you in your old age And So Much More!
