- 2:17Speaker 2: I don't have really anything good. I'm saying Trump supporters.

- 2:28Speaker 1: I'm not I'm just saying.
- 2:30Speaker 2: I'm not saying all of them that like that, but
- 2:33Speaker 2: it is not an uncommon thing. They seem to be embroilered,
- 2:38Speaker 2: like all of the people primarily in his periphery have
- 2:42Speaker 2: some kind of you know what I mean?
- 2:45Speaker 3: So I do I know exactly what exactly?
- 2:48Speaker 2: Yeah, tell me a Trump supporter without telling me the

- 3:02Speaker 1: it's part for them.
- 3:03Speaker 2: It is on Brank Yeah, I got you.

- 3:15Speaker 2: that jazz with financial advisor Blake Walker Esquire. Plus we
- 3:18Speaker 2: got the Hugo as the home makes and we've got
- 3:19Speaker 2: another short bus records presentation and Simil Wilks will give
- 3:22Speaker 2: us what we need to know.
- 3:23Speaker 1: It's the DL Hugby Show.
- 3:26Speaker 3: I'm talking all that.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Jack.
- 3:27Speaker 4: I'm really excited to talk to you because I think,
- 3:29Speaker 4: you know a lot of people have a lot of
- 3:30Speaker 4: questions right now regarding finances, regarding savings and all of
- 3:35Speaker 4: the things.
- 3:36Speaker 3: And I'm one of those people that you know.
- 3:38Speaker 4: I'm on social media, whether it's TikTok, Instagram, and I'm
- 3:41Speaker 4: constantly seeing people giving.
- 3:42Speaker 3: Me advice about money.
- 3:45Speaker 4: Now you can go and get into all of the
- 3:49Speaker 4: details and the lingo that we may or may not understand.
- 3:52Speaker 3: But can you first, like, just.
- 3:54Speaker 4: Right out the gate, what would be your best but
- 3:58Speaker 4: most simplest advice to someone who who is in a
- 4:00Speaker 4: situation where they're living paycheck to paycheck, Because that's really
- 4:03Speaker 4: about all of us right now.
- 4:05Speaker 5: I know with everything going on with the economy, it's
- 4:07Speaker 5: definitely a difficult time. I would say the best advice
- 4:11Speaker 5: that I could give paycheck to paycheck is even if
- 4:13Speaker 5: you can and this is difficult, but even if you
- 4:16Speaker 5: could put together put aside, I don't care if it's
- 4:19Speaker 5: ten dollars. Right, If it's ten dollars that you can
- 4:22Speaker 5: put away as a savings, that can go a long ways.
- 4:26Speaker 5: And I've been in the position, and I have friends
- 4:29Speaker 5: and family members that have been put in the position
- 4:31Speaker 5: where things are extremely tight and though that little amount
- 4:35Speaker 5: actually ended up helping them in the end, whether it's
- 4:37Speaker 5: something that came up that was an emergency or bill
- 4:40Speaker 5: or something that was unexpected. So even a small amount
- 4:45Speaker 5: have gone a long way. And I've been in the
- 4:46Speaker 5: position where I've had to do that.
- 4:47Speaker 4: Yeah, So I love the fact that right off the
- 4:49Speaker 4: gate being so young, because I understand that you're like
- 4:52Speaker 4: the youngest black female chief legal officers at a multi
- 4:55Speaker 4: billion dollar tech company. I think a lot of times
- 4:59Speaker 4: when people hear that, they become very intimidated because, you know, listen,
- 5:04Speaker 4: keeping it real, everybody gets uncomfortable when you start talking
- 5:06Speaker 4: about money unless.
- 5:07Speaker 3: You got a lot of it. And even then you're worried,
- 5:09Speaker 3: is somebody trying to take my money?
- 5:11Speaker 4: But a lot yes, nowadays, a lot of us out here,
- 5:14Speaker 4: you know, in this current administration. You know, I get
- 5:17Speaker 4: a little disappointed sometimes when I'm on social media and
- 5:20Speaker 4: somebody tells me I just saw one the other day
- 5:22Speaker 4: that says if.
- 5:22Speaker 3: You're fifty years old or older, it's too late.
- 5:24Speaker 4: Is it ever too late to begin trying to, you know,
- 5:27Speaker 4: practice practical budgeting and saving something just in case.
- 5:32Speaker 5: Absolutely not, And you can at any age you should
- 5:36Speaker 5: be absolutely doing new financial strategies, new ways of making money,
- 5:42Speaker 5: saving money, investing money. It's never too late. And I
- 5:45Speaker 5: know people who have even gone into completely new careers
- 5:49Speaker 5: in their fifties and their sixties, seventies and are now
- 5:53Speaker 5: doing incredibly well, So it's never too late. I think
- 5:56Speaker 5: the main thing is just always being up to date
- 5:59Speaker 5: on any new investments they're coming across.
- 6:01Speaker 6: I mean, social.
- 6:02Speaker 5: Media does have some advice that can be that I
- 6:05Speaker 5: wouldn't recommend, but you still can get some pretty good tips.
- 6:08Speaker 5: You can still get some pretty good tip from there.
- 6:10Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you, I know you that you
- 6:13Speaker 3: know as well as I do.
- 6:14Speaker 4: It is thousands, if not millions of people on social
- 6:18Speaker 4: media giving advice about money, and especially you know, I
- 6:22Speaker 4: did want to talk to you about this high yield
- 6:23Speaker 4: savings and CDs. I see more people talking about that,
- 6:27Speaker 4: and they make it seem like it's like water, like
- 6:29Speaker 4: it's so easy.
- 6:30Speaker 3: It's so simple. You know what it does.
- 6:32Speaker 4: But we you know, you really don't know who to trust.
- 6:34Speaker 4: What's the best advice regarding you know, first steps in
- 6:37Speaker 4: terms of finding the appropriate high yield savings and also
- 6:40Speaker 4: you know, no penalty CDs and things like that. Where
- 6:43Speaker 4: should we where should we be looking at? How much
- 6:45Speaker 4: should we be putting into these accounts?
- 6:47Speaker 1: Yes?
- 6:48Speaker 5: The two best places I would recommend is either Common
- 6:52Speaker 5: Facts you can go get a market's account. You can
- 6:54Speaker 5: get one for a high yield savings account you can
- 6:57Speaker 5: get for five hundred dollars five hundred dollars. You can
- 6:59Speaker 5: also go to Bank of America. They have their own
- 7:07Speaker 5: Merrill Lynch. You can go there as well. It's similar
- 7:10Speaker 5: to Goldman Sachs a little bit different terms. But again,
- 7:13Speaker 5: the main reason why you would go get a high
- 7:14Speaker 5: old savings account is if you keep it in your
- 7:17Speaker 5: regulard bank account, you're getting what point zero zero one
- 7:19Speaker 5: percent on your interest. If you go to a Goldman
- 7:23Speaker 5: fact or a Merrill Lynch, then you're getting anywhere between
- 7:27Speaker 5: three to five and a half percent. Wow, And that
- 7:30Speaker 5: is money that you can take out at any time.
- 7:32Speaker 5: A lot of people know about cd CDs is when
- 7:34Speaker 5: you put the money in. A lot of CDs have
- 7:35Speaker 5: penalties to it. So if you put the money in
- 7:37Speaker 5: to a CD, let's say you do a six month CD.
- 7:40Speaker 5: If you pull that money out early, let's say there's
- 7:42Speaker 5: an emergency that you need to take care of something,
- 7:44Speaker 5: you are penalized, meaning that if you bring that money out,
- 7:47Speaker 5: you lose all of the interest. And so if you
- 7:50Speaker 5: get a high yield savings account or if you get
- 7:53Speaker 5: a no penalty CD, then there's no penalizing you for
- 7:56Speaker 5: taking the money out at any point and you just
- 7:58Speaker 5: have to keep it in there for seven days. That's it,
- 8:00Speaker 5: and it's simple. You just go to myth, go on Google,
- 8:03Speaker 5: Google it, go to their website and open an account.
- 8:06Speaker 5: As simple as it is.
- 8:08Speaker 4: What if someone wanted to reach out to you to
- 8:10Speaker 4: talk to you about, you know, maybe a high yield
- 8:13Speaker 4: savings account or maybe they're really just getting into investment,
- 8:17Speaker 4: how would they find you?
- 8:18Speaker 5: Yeah, Blake Mercedes on Instagram and then on LinkedIn, I'm
- 8:22Speaker 5: Blake Walker Richardson.
- 8:23Speaker 4: Absolutely love it. Thank you so much Blake for taking
