8  Dumb Mistakes Nearly Everyone Over 40 Makes

1

They don’t diversify their wealth

Putting all your money in one place, whether it's stocks, bonds, crypto, or something else, is a good way to lose money, not make it. 

2

They don’t get a second set of eyes

But there are times when it's smart to get a second view. Sure, you've done a good job of building and keeping track of your savings. 

3

They let home repairs drain their savings

Fixing up a house is not cheap. Whether it's a leaky roof or a broken device, your home can quickly turn into a nightmare that will cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars to fix.

4

They lose $610 a year on car insurance

If you're like most Americans, you're probably paying too much for your car insurance. But it can be a pain to look around for a better deal.

5

They let medical costs empty their nest egg

Here's hope that your retirement years are full, healthy, and happy, and that you can keep doing what you've always done right up until the day you die.

6

They don’t generate wealth with real estate

Wrong. Fundrise can help you get started on this path to possible wealth for as little as $10. Fundrise lets you buy real estate buildings in the same way that stockholders buy pieces of a company.

7

They don’t get help with debt

They've helped more than half a million people, and the Better Business Bureau gives them an A+ rating. TopConsumerReviews, TopTenReviews, ConsumersAdvocate, and ConsumerAffairs also give them high marks.

8

They waste thousands on auto repairs

The average car in the U.S. is now 12.1 years old, which is a lot longer than it used to be. The problem is that most expensive car fixes happen after the warranty has run out.
