After applying for a new Qing'an loan to buy a house, I regretted it due to the remote location and unstable job. I considered selling it but was worried about the real estate tax. In fact, the real estate tax is only levied on profits from price differences. If there is no profit, no tax will be levied. If the purpose is to relieve pressure, a flat transfer or a small compensation settlement is a more conservative option. It is recommended to consult the real estate agent to find a suitable exit method.
Most people think they are investing, but in fact they are just gambling. Before investing, you should first clarify whether your purpose is to save money or to make a fortune. Short-term operations without doing your homework are just showing off. If you cannot beat the market, it is better to invest regularly and hold on for the long term. Don't waste your time pretending to do research when you can't make any money. Don’t buy if you don’t understand. Investing should be an accumulation of discipline and patience.
Stocks offer high risk and high returns; bonds offer stability but low returns. ETFs bundle multiple assets to diversify risks and are easy to operate. They are suitable for beginners and long-term regular investments. Based on age and risk tolerance, it is recommended to allocate the proportion of stocks, bonds and ETFs to achieve a stable and effective asset layout.
Stocks are like buying shares in a company, which are highly volatile but offer high returns; bonds are like lending money to the government or a company, which are stable but offer lower returns. The dual allocation of stocks and bonds is an investment strategy that diversifies risks and helps make assets more stable. Remember: Don’t invest all your money in a single tool. Rational allocation is the long-term solution.
Making money in modern times no longer depends solely on hard work, but requires improving diverse knowledge and skills to create personal irreplaceability. Create time and financial value by investing in yourself and making good use of information gaps. Before judging investment risks, you should clarify the facts and data and rationally evaluate the rate of return. Only by acting according to facts can you accumulate wealth and reverse your destiny in an M-shaped society.
Many parents hope to accumulate wealth for their children. Traditional deposits have low interest rates and weak resistance to inflation, so regular and fixed-amount investments in the stock market become a simple and effective option. By investing a small amount of money every month, you can balance market fluctuations and accumulate assets over the long term. At the same time, it can also be combined with a policy with cash value to provide protection and strengthen the financial foundation of the child's future.
When buying a house, you can’t just look at the total price. The decoration and renovation costs are the real hidden costs. Whether it is a new house or a used house, subsequent decoration must be paid for by the buyer and is not included in the loan, which often makes people realize that their budget has exceeded the limit after buying the house. You should estimate the decoration costs when viewing a house and include them in the total cost comparison, so that you can choose an ideal house that truly meets your budget, has a good location and is safe to live in.
The tax risk of investment-type policies depends on the "gains" (withdrawal amount - premiums paid), not whether it exceeds the principal. If there is no profit, there is no tax exemption; if there is a profit, the tax burden is determined by the annual income and the tax exemption amount. The withdrawal amount is tax-free if it is less than 92,000 (2024 standard), but it will be included in the comprehensive income tax declaration (tax rate 5%~40%) if it exceeds. There is no need to worry if the investment is below 1 million. For investments above 2 million, it is recommended to withdraw the funds in installments and make reasonable plans to save taxes. Those who invest more than 5 million should plan their taxes in advance to avoid high tax burdens.
Investment-type insurance is not completely tax-free, but it does enjoy the advantage of tax deferral. During the internal operation of the policy, asset appreciation and dividends are not taxed, but if the policy is terminated or partially withdrawn, the gains exceeding the premiums paid must be included in the personal comprehensive income tax return. Death benefit proceeds are usually tax-free, but if the estate exceeds the tax-free amount, it is still subject to estate tax. Compared with directly holding ETFs, investment policies can defer taxation and are suitable for long-term asset allocation, but frequent withdrawals still have tax costs.
