Your 40s (and beyond) is a great time to get serious about building your wealth. There’s a good chance your career is taking off and you’re earning more money than you ever have before. With upcoming expenses like college and retirement looming, investing smartly and saving money are more important than ever.
Now is the time to make sure you’re putting that money to work for you.
Invest in art that has outperformed the S&P by over 180%
History has shown art to be one of the top investments of all time. In fact, in the last two decades art has outperformed the S&P by over 180% between 2000-2018.
But while the ultra-wealthy rake in huge profits, everyday folks have been left out in the cold. Masterworks is an exclusive platform that lets investors of all types add art to their portfolios in just a few clicks.
They let you buy individual shares of famous works by artists like Warhol, Banksy, and Basquiat, similar to stock in a company. Get paid when the painting sells, or trade your shares to other members on their secondary market.
While Masterworks requires a $5,000 account minimum to get started, you can build a well-rounded portfolio of masterpieces with the help of their art experts.

Earn passive income by investing in real estate
Imagine getting a check in the mail every few months for just holding a little bit of money in an account. Sounds amazing, right?
With Fundrise, an investment of as little as $10 can start earning you passive income through quarterly distributions. You’ll get to invest in some of the hottest real estate deals without the headaches that come with being a landlord.
It takes less than 1 minute to create an account with your email and password, and you don’t have to invest a dime until you know it’s right for you. Be sure to confirm your account by clicking the link in the email they send you.
The investments do come with risk. Fundrise has paid distributions every quarter since at least Q2 2016, but your payment is never guaranteed.
For the service, you’ll pay a 0.85% annual asset management fee and a 0.15% annual investment advisory fee.
Prepare for market volatility by diversifying with gold
Stock market volatility can be financially damaging, especially as you near retirement. You could move your investments into a savings account, but have you seen interest rates lately? Another option to consider — diversify with gold.
Gold values are inversely correlated with the stock market and the dollar. When one goes down, the other usually goes up. If you want to protect your retirement funds, having diversified investments may be able to help you weather market swings.
Gold Alliance is a reputable precious metals dealer that specializes in precious metals IRAs. They make it simple to transfer funds from your current retirement account (like a 401(k) or IRA) into a precious metal IRA — with no taxes or penalties.
Gold Alliance offers a free gold information kit to help you learn more about why gold and silver could be a smart choice for diversifying your portfolio, and how the process works.
Cancel your car insurance
We’ve got bad news. You could be wasting $500 every year on overpriced, second-rate car insurance. And you should probably cancel your existing insurance right now, because there’s something much better.
This new tool from FinanceBuzz can tell you if you’re overpaying for your car insurance in just a few clicks. On average, we find around $500 a year in savings for drivers. And once you try it out, you’ll never have to look for affordable insurance again because we find you the lowest rates that other companies can’t match.
Oh, and it’s also free. And come on — you can’t tell us you don’t want to save up to $500. To find out if you’re losing up to $500 or more a year, just enter your zip code here, answer a few questions and see if you’re overpaying. It takes less than 2 minutes.
Invest in the beverage with a historical 10.6% annual return
Wine, to be exact. Wine has had a 10.6% historical annual return over the last 15 years. Pretty good for an alternative asset, especially if you’re diversifying.
Vinovest makes wine investing simple, even if you’re not a wine expert. They combine master sommelier knowledge with AI-driven algorithms to choose potentially appreciating wines to invest in. Basically, they have a good idea of what wines could perform well over time, with data to back it up.
To keep your wine safe, Vinovest is insured with an FDIC equivalent for wine, protecting each bottle against breakage and loss. Their state-of-the-art, climate-controlled storage facilities help keep your wines safe. And if you ever want to drink the bottles you invested in, you can. You can always buy more, sell for a potential profit, or enjoy them whenever you want.
Stop overpaying when you shop online
Shopping online has its perks. It’s super convenient, but it can be time consuming to find the best deals. Instead of hunting for coupon codes (that don’t always work!) and opening tons of browser tabs comparing prices, you can try Capital One Shopping.
Capital One Shopping makes saving money effortless. Just add the browser extension and when you check out, it’ll scour the internet for coupon codes to help you save cash. And before you check out at favorite stores like Amazon, Target, Home Depot, and Best Buy, Capital One Shopping will notify you with a friendly pop-up if the item you’re buying is available cheaper somewhere else.
Capital One Shopping is free to use and won’t show you ads. Add it today and stop overpaying!1
Invest with the platform that’s returned $164 million+ in passive income
Passive income. Is it even realistic? Or is it just reserved for the 1% who can already afford the investments that make it possible? Here’s the truth. While it might *feel* elusive, building passive income is achievable. And diversifying your portfolio with alternative assets could help you get there.
These assets — think art or real estate — typically have low correlation with swings in the stock market. This makes them potentially attractive investments for diversification. Hedge funds and the ultra-wealthy know this and have dominated these assets for years. Until now.
Yieldstreet is a platform that gives you access to these alternative assets for as little as $500. Their products span a range of investments with varying yields, durations, and minimums to help you diversify, and they even have a passive income simulator that shows you potential returns over time. To date, Yieldstreet investors have earned $164 million+ in interest.
Get out of $10,000 or more in debt
If you have a lot of debt, getting out of it can feel stressful (and nearly impossible). Here’s the problem: the longer you put off tackling it, the harder it gets to fix. If you don’t take control of it early on, it can add undue stress to your life for years. But what if there was a way to get out of debt once and for all?
National Debt Relief could help. If you have more than $10,000 in debt from credit cards, medical bills, collections, or personal loans, their representatives might be able to assist you in consolidating your debt into one low monthly payment.
Best of all? There are zero fees until your debt is resolved, and you could be debt-free in 24-48 months. To get started, just answer a few simple questions. It only takes 30 seconds to see if you qualify!
Ditch your mortgage lender
Yep, we said it. If you want to save a ton of money next month — $100, $200, $500 — you should ditch your current mortgage right now.
Our new tool will help you compare mortgage offers and rates and could help you simplify refinancing your mortgage. Which means you could slash your interest rate, lower your monthly mortgage payments and even build equity in your home faster… all so you can save money and free up breathing room in your budget.
You could even take advantage of a cash out refinance for massive savings. The money you get could help you crush your high-interest debt for good. Or you could take advantage of that potentially lucrative investment opportunity that you now have the cash for. The possibilities are endless, but you’d be crazy not to see how much you can get just by refinancing.
