Robert Farrington is America's Millennial Money Expert, and the founder of The College Investor, a personal finance site dedicated to helping millennials escape student loan debt to start investing and building wealth for the future. You can learn more about him here.
One of his favorite tools is Personal Capital, which enables him to manage his finances in just 15-minutes each month. Best of all - it's free!
He is also diversifying his investment portfolio by adding a little bit of real estate. But not rental homes, because he doesn't want a second job, it's diversified small investments in a mix of properties through Fundrise. Worth a look if you're looking for a low dollar way to invest in real estate.
With world stock markets pumped full of newly-printed cash, some people are calling for a major correction: stock valuations don’t seem to reflect earnings or profits or anything else which used to be a measure of value. Where do you think we’re headed, Robert?
I think we will see a correction sometime soon, but that’s okay. The problem is the growth is very bi-polar right now. There are some sectors growing widely, and many other areas are not. Until the total economy grows, we will see boom/bust cycles.
