Any investing is dangerous at any time if you invest in the wrong assets, but what’s even more dangerous is letting your money sit in the bank earning significantly less than 1% in returns while inflation is skyrocketing, dropping the value of your wealth day by day while others are using inflation to get their money to grow and their loans to be of less value as time goes on.We mitigate a lot of the risks and focus on relatively safe investments with modest returns and huge tax savings to ensure steady growth with numerous tax savings for all investors.
