Another week has passed. It seems like just the other day I was sitting back debating if I wanted to have a public presence out there. Next thing you know here we are with another deposit...
Weekly Activity
$100 deposit into Savings
Model Portfolio Totals
Trading Account: $0
Investing Account: $0
Savings Account: $300
Emergency: $250
Portfolio Protection: $50
CDs: $0
Precious Metals: $0
This week the deposit goes to the savings account. As I mention in the video, $250 is a good starting point for the more common emergencies that come up. Some may already have savings ahead of time which is great. However I wanted to set this portfolio up for someone starting out in the markets who maybe living paycheck to paycheck and have absolutely nothing.
By saving money for a rainy day we prevent the use of a credit card for that flat tire. Its beyond ridiculous how expensive things get when you are struggling with credit card payments, pay them down a bit, then have to turn around and run them back up. The interest will set everything we are trying to do back.
The site I mention in the video is http://www.zignals.com/main/
This marks the end of Phase 1 of the savings account. Next week we move on to the other two.
EDIT: At the time this blog entry was posted I had a Youtube video here. That has been removed but I want the rest of my content to be remain. Nothing hidden no past mistakes ignored. All out in the open.
