How To Invest Your Money During The Pandemic

These days, most of us have plenty of time on our hands — and it’s fair to say we can all agree on the following: It’s fun to watch your favorite TV show’s upcoming episodes and live premieres to help pass the time. 

But in the time it takes to decide on your next new favorite show, you can make a positive impact on your financial future. Consider investing in the following below, and then get back to binge-watching all your favorite episodes in no time at all.

Stock

Keep an eye on the stock market prices because they are sure to rise as a result of the pandemic. With that in mind, look to companies and services offering the types of things people need and desire while stuck in quarantine, working from home, or under stay-at-home orders. Don’t overlook food delivery services or restaurants offering takeout and delivery, either. Additionally, home gym equipment, online billing or payment options and no-contact vehicle delivery services also offer excellent investment opportunities.

Bonds

Not any bond will do. Inflation makes a bond’s yield fall, so long-term bonds can be a big gamble. However, if you invest your money in a short-term, low-yield bond, you’ll not only significantly reduce the risk of inflation, but you can also skirt around more mammoth losses. Indeed, short-term, taxable bond funds are the way to go for minimized loss and noticeable gain.

Financial Advisor

The advice of a financial advisor might prove priceless. These days during COVID-19, there are plenty of these professionals offering a portion of their service for free. Paid or not, a financial advisor is the best way to invest your money and make it work for you now while preparing for your future. Not only that, but an experienced financial advisor will also help you decide where to invest, manage your investments, and ensure a diversified portfolio. With a trusted professional to turn to, you’ll be better prepared for whatever the future holds.

Gold

The coronavirus may have changed life as we know it — at least for now. But, unlike many things in life, there’s one investment that will never lose its value: gold. First found centuries ago at surface levels near rivers in Asia Minor, gold was also a precious commodity among ancient Egyptians and later the Romans, and savvy investors throughout history have held onto gold in case of inflation. Gold is a great place to invest your money!

Other precious metals, like silver, palladium, platinum and rhodium, hold their value for the long haul, too. Individuals with tax-deferred or tax-exempt retirement accounts will need to place their gold in a third-party depository or place it in the hands of a licensed trustee.

Cryptocurrency

There’s plenty to love about Bitcoin, the most well-known of the cryptocurrencies. With its long track record, Bitcoin has been a relatively safe bet to invest your money, but it isn’t a solo performer. Ripple, Zcash, hedge tech company Ethereum and other cryptocurrency platforms make a strong case for investment, with little drop and a relatively solid history. 

Cryptocurrency could serve as a form of future financial protection in the case of high inflation. In fact, Wyoming is leading the way for crypto- and blockchain-friendly banking — and it’s only a matter of time before other states start to fall in line. With further acceptance into the mainstream — and a firm handle on privacy — it’s no wonder electronic currency is taking off fast.

Where to Invest During the Pandemic

Bonds, select stocks, gold and other precious metals and the help of a financial adviser are all great places to invest your money during COVID-19. You can keep making gains and financial progress even throughout a pandemic by making good choices. After that, grab the popcorn, and enjoy the latest episodes of your favorite shows on Amazon Prime.

Their standing desk and exercise chair is a GAME CHANGER!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Whether you have a laptop or a desktop pc, being able to adjust your desk at the push of a button and stand for a while is absolutely essential to working long hours at a computer. 

This bicycle chair is designed specifically for this desk and a great way to keep your body moving. You could also use an under desk treadmill like @superun_fitness for even more flexibility! 💃🏼

Just because you have to work at a desk all day doesn’t mean you need to be out of shape. 💪🏻🏋🏼‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️

An often-overlooked element to planning your perfe An often-overlooked element to planning your perfect hiking outfit is finding the perfect minimalist backpack! 

You don’t want to be weighed down by an oversized, clunky backpack that boasts all the bells and whistles but delivers nothing more than unnecessary muscle strain. You want a backpack that is minimal on the outside, functional on the inside, and sustainable all around. Waxed canvas is always a top choice for me!

I’m obsessed with this backpack from @hellodayowls 😍

It has that perfect boho minimalist look that I love, in the perfect color for fall. This has become my go-to handbag for autumn. 

Perfect for all our outdoor adventures, hiking in the mountains, exploring the woods with my kids, and everything motherhood throws at me! 🥾 🧗🏼‍♀️ 🌲

Somebody hold me. 😭

I asked him if he could stay 12 for one more year but he didn’t like that idea. 😒 Was worth a shot, right? 

Scroll for the outtakes 😂😂😂

This kid blows me away daily and makes me so proud to be his mom. I don’t have enough words to describe how much I love this child. 😭

Drop a comment and wish this boy a happy birthday! 🎉🎂

Luckily, there are holistic wellness products that can help make the motherhood journey easier!

Lost Empire Herbs stands out as a remarkable family venture led by three health-conscious brothers who share a profound dedication to a wholesome, active lifestyle. 

Their journey began with a modest kitchen table and the introduction of pine pollen, but it has since evolved into something truly remarkable, exceeding all expectations.😱

What truly sets Lost Empire Herbs apart is their extensive collective knowledge, derived from years of hands-on experience, unwavering commitment, and a willingness to explore new horizons. Driven by a genuine desire to enhance lives, they made a resolute decision to make the benefits of these exceptional herbs accessible to a wider audience. 

Their primary focus revolves around offering hormonal support, a vital consideration given the prevalence of endocrine-disrupting compounds in today's world, although their scope extends beyond this singular realm. 🌱 

I'm genuinely enthused about the prospect of trying out their products, eagerly anticipating the chance to personally experience the transformative effects of these wellness herbs. The brothers' evident passion and expertise have left me intrigued and eager to embark on a journey towards total wellness, guided by the offerings of Lost Empire Herbs.
