Credit to for this visual and the numbers, but this chart shows how advantageous it can be to put your money in the stock market. The S&P 500 is a measure of the stock market, representing the largest 500 companies in the US.

If you put the same $10,000 into a CD with a (generous) interest rate of 4.5%, you would have $20,700. Compare this to $90,000.

CDs are good for known upcoming purchases (like a house) within the next year or two or retirees who want a guaranteed, taxable 4%.

Yes I am playing Monday morning quarterback, but this has always been the case, for over 100 years. Investing in the broad US stock market is like betting on America and historically that has been the right move.

Did anyone know the market did 12% in April? It sure has felt like a negative year, but the markets are up almost 5% YTD.

2026 has been a volatile year so far, but when you sit on the sidelines and wait for things to “feel better,” you risk missing big time months like this.

Two friends, Grant and Arden, start investing in 1980. Each with $10,000.

Grant plays it safe. He puts his $10k in a high-yield savings account, earning a modest 4%.

Arden decides to put her $10k into the stock market. She invests in the S&P 500, buying a small piece of the biggest 500 companies in the US.

Neither of the two touch their accounts and this is what they have today…

Grant: $60,700
Arden: $1,899,000

A HYSA is good tool for an emergency fund or money set aside for vacation, but a bad tool for building long-term wealth.

Here is what $1M will be worth in 30 years

$552,000 at 2% inflation
$412,000 at 3% inflation
$308,000 at 4% inflation
$231,000 at 5% inflation

Expected rate of inflation per year for the next 30 years is 2.25%.

Don’t like the way that looks?

Then you need to invest.

Here are two Roth IRA calculations maxing contributions from age 25-60 and 35-60.

With the extra $75,000 worth of contributions by starting at age 25, you have accumulated over $1 million more tax-free dollars for your 60 year old self.

Timing in the market is one of the most powerful wealth builders.

I huge part of my job is helping people understand different CD alternatives.

Are mutual funds a good alternative to CDs?

Well…certificates of deposit offer safety and guaranteed interest, but they often provide limited growth. Mutual funds, while not guaranteed, can offer higher long-term growth potential and help keep pace with inflation.

Mutual funds also provide diversification, professional management, and more flexibility than many traditional CDs. MFs can deliver significantly higher returns, especially in the long term, proving great suitability for a younger investor.

Of course, the right choice depends on your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. In many cases, a combination of both can be effective.

If you’d like to see how mutual funds compare to your current savings strategy, or would like to learn about more alternatives, feel free to message me.

As 6th graders in middle school, Ryker, Damon, and I won the regional stock market game, competing with other teams and schools in the area.

As you can suspect, we did not know anything about the stock market. All we knew was we wanted to invest in the companies that we liked, a strategy that a lot of people use. We invested in a handful of companies, some being Walmart, Nike, Abercrombie, Microsoft, and a few others I can’t remember.

We ended up turning $100,000 into $123,595 for a 23.5% return over 18 weeks by investing in what we knew. This shows that it is beneficial to not only participate in the market, but to invest in what you believe in.

We ended up being invited to a winners’ conference in Atlanta, which is where I help people invest in the stock market today.

What’s a Mutual Fund?

A mutual fund is like a basket of investments, stocks, bonds, or both. All managed by a stock picking professionals in New York. Instead of picking individual stocks, you invest in the fund and spread your risk across many assets.

Benefits:
• Diversification
• Professional management
• Accessible for beginners

Investing in mutual funds is a smart way to grow your money over time, without the stress of wondering if you’re investing in the right stocks. I help people find the right mutual funds based on their risk tolerance.

As of this morning, the S&P 500 has crossed $7000 for the first time ever.

In 2025 alone, the S&P 500 hit 39 all time highs. All time highs are not rare, but a feature of long-term investing.

The real risk isn’t “buying at the top.” It’s sitting on the sidelines waiting for the perfect moment that never comes.
