Transcript

My friends and I were talking about investing and one of them asked, hey did you all know that your max limit in your savings account is 250k? Like what do you do when you reach that limit? And a few of my other friends said, oh well once I reached that limit I opened up multiple savings accounts. So I asked them, y'all have multiple maxed out savings accounts? How much do y'all make? Turns out they make between three to four hundred thousand dollars. And I read a lot of finance books, so I asked them, look, I know I make less than you guys, but I feel like you should be investing some of this money instead of keeping it all in one account. In their defense, their mindset is they wanna have like emergency funds in case they lose their job, in case of recession, so they didn't want to invest because they feel like it's gambling. But it got me thinking, how much do you all have in your accounts? Are you maxing out your accounts?
