Adrien Salomon

This podcast is for everyone trying to learn how to make money, save money, invest money and retirement planning. My mission however is to simplify these topics in order to help everyday folks, inner city kids, kids of many backgrounds, college graduates who want to know what's next and the parents stuck in deciding should they save for retirement or save for their kids college. As kids we should be thought about saving our money in ways that our money can grow and work us, we should be thought that retirement is not something you think about at 40, actually you can decide to retire at 40 if you do things right early. my dear parents, we worry so much about our kids that we forget about us, why can't we do both? Through this podcast we will be able to answer all those questions and many more topics. So join me as we leave broke behind and get financially woke.If you ever wanted to ask any questions, please email me at [email protected] or visit the @dontbebrokebewoke instagram page for daily content.https://linktr.ee/dontbebrokebewoke

#DontBeBrokeBeWoke - Episode 19: Are you an investor or a trader?
play

01/19/21 • 29 min

When I started investing in the stock market 5 years ago, I was definitely a trader, even though I thought I was an investor. Well, I was so wrong and it cost me dearly. It cost me money, but most importantly it cost me time.
Today, you are going to find out if you fall into the category of trader or investor, and if I still think of myself as a trader or an investor.

#DontBeBrokeBeWoke - Episode 6: Investment SUGGESTIONS!
play

09/29/20 • 35 min

Is there a specific amount needed to start investing? Ok, you have a little something you want to invest, how do you do that and where? One of the biggest reasons people leave money in their savings accounts instead of putting it use, is because most people don't know HOW to start. And when they've gone to the process of picking the right brokerage account, the bigger obstacle is where do I start. Should we buy individual Stocks, Mutual Funds, Index Funds, Real Estate or others? I want to help make this initial process as simple as possible, John Bogle said: "Simplicity, indeed, is the master key to financial success". Let's go there together.

#DontBeBrokeBeWoke - Bonus Episode: A little story... about me
play

09/23/20 • 33 min

Taking a small break from all the advice giving and use this episode to talk about me. I already shared on episode one, why I decided to do this podcast. So today, I wanted to share my personal story of struggle and what fueled my obsession with money, growth and preparation. I intended for this episode to be 15 mins but I guess I forgot all that has happened the past 8 years.
Also, today I was relegated to record in my wife's office and it's not as quiet as my regular spot. So I apologize for some of the small background noise. #rookiepodcasttroubles

#DontBeBrokeBeWoke - Episode 11: How to make passive income with $1000
play

11/03/20 • 37 min

When you buy a property and rent it out, you get rental income. You made an investment and for years, you are gaining appreciation on that house and some passive income without doing anything. Well unlike rental income, which requires a pretty nice chunk of money to buy the property, there are a lot less expensive and easier ways to make passive income. With just $1000, I want to share some ways to make that money work for you. I caution you however, if you are expecting to hear how that initial investment of $1000 is making you $1000 in a year, this is not it. Instead, you will learn how that relatively small investment, when invested in Stocks, Index Funds or bonds, can pay you income just to be invested in them. How and why is what we are discuss in today's episode.

#DontBeBrokeBeWoke - Episode 8: Understanding your Debt is KEY
play

10/13/20 • 35 min

So many of us are in debt and we don't even realize how we got there. To make matters worse, we struggle with how to get out of debt. Should we make more money to pay those bills? Should we spend less money? What bills should I prioritized? these are just some of the first questions we asked. The most important question in my opinion is: Do I know what my debt is? The answer to that question seems easy enough, until you start to dig and become overwhelmed with what you find and how to handle it. Starting the process to becoming debt free is exciting, daunting, scary, freeing and whatever other word you want to use. The one thing that is CLEAR, one cannot be financially independent, if you don't tackle your debt ( notice I did not say debt free).

#DontBeBrokeBeWoke - Episode 23: Roth IRA or Bust
play

02/16/21 • 36 min

Two years into my investing career, I looked at my portfolio one day and said:" how do I set up my accounts to pay less taxes in retirement?" So I started googling and Youtubing ( if that is even a word) ways to pay less taxes when I retire, and two words kept coming up over and over: ROTH IRA.
Finding out about this account was a game changer for me and the way I looked at my portfolio from that day forward. I could not believe that there was an account out there that allowed you to contribute money into, then invest it and you can withdraw your money ( contributions and gains) later in life tax free. WHOA!
Let's talk about the Roth IRA today!
