Uncertain times can create nervous investors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colin is one of those folks. He asked this question about investing in a Roth IRA:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Before the war, I was planning on setting up a Roth IRA for my wife. But now with the economy on a downward slope, I was wondering if I should wait a little bit or get in now. What you do think?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colin, thank you for reaching out about investing during uncertain times like this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Russian invasion is horrible and I\u2019m hopeful the world will continue to support Ukraine as it has been over the past month.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s discuss your question \u2026 Is now a good time to invest?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, let\u2019s assume you and your spouse are in your 30\u2019s (<em>based on your Twitter profile, that appears to be the case<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m going to share 5 reasons why NOW is a good time to invest. And even if someone\u2019s listening to this after the war is over \u2026 it\u2019s still a good time to invest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpbf-responsive-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Is Now a Good Time to Invest?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aX-grQiAk6o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why NOW is a Good Time to Invest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. If You Wait For Things to Get Better, You\u2019re Buying Your Shares at a Higher Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Uncertain times can be difficult for investors. This is your hard-earned money after all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Realize though that if you decide to wait until things get better in the stock market, then you\u2019ll be buying your shares at a higher price. When you do that, you\u2019ll be getting fewer shares and in the long run, building less wealth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me give you an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VTI (which is <a href=\"https:\/\/investor.vanguard.com\/etf\/profile\/VTI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vanguard\u2019s ETF that covers the Total Stock Market<\/a>) is currently valued at $227 per share (prices fluctuate so be sure to check before investing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last time it was valued this low was in last summer. So if you buy at today\u2019s prices, you\u2019re essentially getting it at a discount.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shockingly, that low price of $227 was an all-time high for this fund!&nbsp;So, I don\u2019t doubt that we\u2019ll be hitting another all-time high again really soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will it be this year or next year?&nbsp; Well, let\u2019s discuss that in our next point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. No One Knows What the Stock Market Will Do This Year<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ignore all of the financial news experts that tell you what is going to happen with the stock market this year. Do you know why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because they are guessing. They have no idea what the stock market will do this year. Their living is made from making guesses all day long. They may be educated guesses, but they are guesses nonetheless.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since they don\u2019t know, you don\u2019t know and I don\u2019t know \u2026 we just need to start as soon as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we need to realize that the stock market will go up and down like a roller coaster for the next few decades until you reach retirement. BUT over that timeframe, historically, it\u2019ll more than likely go up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. The Stock Market (Historically) Goes Up in the Long Run<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/marriagekidsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/sp-500-historical-chart-data-2022-04-04-macrotrends.png?resize=537%2C339&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14647\" width=\"537\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/marriagekidsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/sp-500-historical-chart-data-2022-04-04-macrotrends.png?w=888&ssl=1 888w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/marriagekidsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/sp-500-historical-chart-data-2022-04-04-macrotrends.png?resize=300%2C189&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/marriagekidsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/sp-500-historical-chart-data-2022-04-04-macrotrends.png?resize=768%2C484&ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source:  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrotrends.net\/2324\/sp-500-historical-chart-data'>S&P 500 Index &#8211; 90 Year Historical Chart<\/a>&#8221; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; rel=&#8221;noreferrer noopener&#8221;>MacroTrends<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Over its nearly 100-year existence, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/ask\/answers\/042415\/what-average-annual-return-sp-500.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">average annual returns of the stock market are around 10%<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does it return that every year? No, but on average, over the decades, your ability to stay in the market in good times and bad can yield a 10% return.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So even if times are uncertain today, investing today, instead of tomorrow or 1 year from now, will get you in the investing habit and take advantage of time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may be one of those moments where the stock market is down. That\u2019s good news for new investors because you\u2019re buying your shares at a slightly lower price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

A delay cost of $82,000!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My point is \u2026 start investing early and don\u2019t delay.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Dollar-Cost Averaging Makes it Easy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Deciding when to get into the stock market can be really stressful. That\u2019s why concepts like dollar-cost averaging allow you to relax and let the market do its work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dollar-Cost Averaging is an investing strategy that allows investors to invest equal amounts periodically no matter what is going on in the stock market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, your wife investing $500 per month for the next 30 years, no matter what, is Dollar Cost Averaging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, this has been proven as a solid and effective strategy for long-term investing success. If you allow automation to take care of the process for you, then you\u2019re not tempted to stop your dollar-cost averaging plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way you\u2019re buying consistently over time. You\u2019re buying in good times and in bad times. And you\u2019re allowing yourself to ignore crazy market cycles and difficult global news.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By ignoring that news, you can focus on what matters most \u2026 your family and personal life goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reasons You Shouldn\u2019t Invest Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m a big proponent of investing, but there are times when you should consider holding off on investing.&nbsp;Here are a couple of reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Emergency Fund<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have no cash saved up for emergencies, you are setting yourself up to go into credit card debt if any emergency arises.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d suggest holding off on investing until you have at least $2,000 set aside for emergencies. This can cover some deductibles and household emergencies. Over time, I recommend saving 3-6 months of expenses as an emergency fund.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High-Interest Credit Card Debt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are paying high-interest credit card debt, you\u2019re paying more in interest than you\u2019ll be making in interest in the stock market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/personal-finance\/average-credit-card-interest-rate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">average interest payment on a credit card last year<\/a> was 15.91%!&nbsp; Making that much in the stock market consistently is very unlikely to happen, but you are guaranteed to SAVE that amount by paying off your credit card debt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For that reason, I wouldn\u2019t suggest investing in the stock market until you are credit card debt-free. That doesn\u2019t mean you have to cut up your credit cards, but you need to be paying them off in full every month, no matter what.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Get Started With Investing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps I\u2019ve convinced you that investing now is a good idea. Great! You mentioned a Roth IRA and that is a great place to invest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is so excellent about a Roth IRA?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For starters<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>This retirement account grows tax-free.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/investor.vanguard.com\/ira\/ira-distribution-rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">withdraw 100% of your <strong>contributions<\/strong><\/a> at any time without penalties or taxes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your options for investing are plentiful including mutual funds, bonds, and real estate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Index investors who are working toward FIRE also really tend to love Roth accounts!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of index investing, that is my preferred way to invest especially when it comes to a Roth IRA. You get excellent diversification, low fees and your funds are self-cleansing. When one company isn\u2019t performing well, it gets kicked out of the index and you don\u2019t need to adjust anything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a partner to start your Roth IRA, I\u2019d suggest <a href=\"https:\/\/marriagekidsandmoney.com\/m1finance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">M1 Finance<\/a>. You\u2019ll hear more about them in a moment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of the Roth IRA, THE best place to start when it comes to investing for your retirement is with employer matching funds in a 401k or 403b because that is free money!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, let\u2019s say your company matches 50% of your contributions per year up to your first $5,000 of contributions. If you decide to do $5,000 of contributions, then your company will also contribute another $2,500. That\u2019s $2,500 of free money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some companies are also doing this with their <a href=\"https:\/\/marriagekidsandmoney.com\/protect-your-health-and-wealth-with-an-hsa\/\">Health Savings Accounts (HSA)<\/a> programs as well. If you contribute to your HSA, they may match a portion of your contributions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check with your company to see what matching benefits they provide for your retirement and your future health care costs. There may be some FREE money lying around waiting for you to snag it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts:  Is Now a Good Time to Invest?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Timing the market is a game most everyone will lose. Time in the market is easier and more effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/h\/herdinstinct.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">When markets go up<\/a>, people can tend to buy more shares. And when markets go down (like it has this year so far), people tend to sell more shares.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the opposite of what we should do right?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, why do we do this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s because we\u2019re emotional beings. We\u2019re illogical at times. We are HUMAN!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why I like to take the logic and reasoning out of my hands and automatically put the same amount in my account each month no matter what.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That way, no matter what happens, I\u2019m building wealth and keeping my emotional self away from my money. And I\u2019d suggest the same for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are you wondering &#8220;is now a good time to invest&#8221;?
