Image source: Getty Images While married couples make up the majority of people who buy homes , you don't actually have to be married to become a homeowner. I'm planning to become one myself next year, and I'm purchasing a home solo. But you can also take out a mortgage loan with someone else without being married to them. After all, relationships are like personal finance -- personal.

Since 1965, he has steered his conglomerate, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) , to average annual returns of 19.8% per year, twice the average annual return of the benchmark S&P 500 index. Over the course of 58 years, that kind of outperformance gets compounded each year and has made Buffett (and every other long-term Berkshire stockholder) very rich.

Equities are unpredictable in the short run. How the market will behave in the next six to 12 months is anyone's guess. However, over more extended periods, of five years or more, things become much more (if not wholly) predictable. The market tends to reward companies based on financial results and an improving outlook. Before investing in a stock, intending to hold it long term, it's critical to determine how the company is likely to perform on these fronts.

If you want your full monthly benefit based on your personal wage history, you'll need to wait until full retirement age (FRA) arrives. That age is 67 if you were born in 1960 or later.

This year, however, the top tech company handsomely rewarded investors. As of this writing, shares of Amazon are trading hands at about $140. This makes the tech giant a no-brainer FAANG stock to buy right now for less than $150.

The S&P 500 slipped 19.4% last year as runaway inflation, rising interest rates, and recession fears rattled Wall Street. But the benchmark index rebounded 15.9% in the first half of 2023 amid better-than-expected earnings and enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence. That momentum points to positive returns in the second half. Since 1957, when returns in the first half of a year exceeded 10%, the average return for the second half was 6.8%, according to data from Carson Group.
