    Yes saving money is worth it everyone needs to save money for investments everyone needs to save that first $100,000 for investments you want to be super fugal and super smart with money right now, so you can live like a financial king or queen in the future this is a good video for debate, but saving money is very important to have a large emergency fund and to reach that first $100,000 for investments

    I've been saving nearly everything I make for the last 6-7 years now, living with parents. I have everything invested in high yield savings or CDs. The housing market ballooned and added between 50-80K to the price of all starter homes in my new england state effectively making two years of my savings useless in terms of buying power for exactly what I was saving for. I'm very discouraged and sometimes downright depressed about it. And with health problems possibly looming I'm worried that I've spent half a decade saving up for nothing.

      @@PenniesNotPerfection I have 14 businesses and 4 funds that are all affiliated…but a few require escrow accounts, and as a registered investment advisor, I’m thinking I will need separate accounts for each client. Also will need separate accounts per asset. I read profit first and would like to implement that. I think if relay could support 20 accounts per business entity, it should be fine for most of them, but I don’t think it would work for the investment advisory company or real estate fund where each major asset purchase requires a new entity. Will I be able to visualize all the various entities in relay, or would I have to have a separate sign-in for each entity? That would be a pain. I’m not sure it would work for me since I need a lot of accounts.
