In this solo episode, Tim walks through the difference between saving money and building wealth, using this definition of wealth as a guide: the ability to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want, for as long as you want. From cash savings for short-term needs, to CDs and Treasury bills for medium-term goals, to stock market investing for long-term goals like retirement, Tim lays out a simple framework for how matching your money to its purpose builds wealth both now and later.\nOne Key Takeaway: Saving money and building wealth are not the same thing. Match your money to its timeline: cash for the short term, stable interest-bearing accounts or investments for the medium term, and stock market investing for the long term.\nLinks:\nSend me a question to be answered on a future episode.\nSign up for the Keep It Easy newsletter.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ij30T8S22oW7oq3h35PBmjsaEjzv6wqJJXFR2goCl8k/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80MWUw/NTk1NDU5NDIxMTc4/N2RlZDJiNGFhZmUx/MDQ0OS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
