Episode 3291: Chelsea explains why waiting for the “perfect time” to invest is a losing strategy, showing how sitting on cash often results in missed growth and declining value due to inflation. By highlighting the benefits of dollar-cost averaging, lump-sum investing, and the market’s long-term upward trajectory, she makes a strong case for staying disciplined and avoiding fear-based financial decisions. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://smartmoneymamas.com/investing-in-peak-markets/ Quotes to ponder: "Timing the market is just as hard as picking stocks, but that is exactly what you’re doing if you are holding onto cash and waiting for a market downturn." "Every day your money sits in cash, you are losing value." "The long-term trajectory of the market is up. The more time your money is in the market, the better you do."
