As 2024 comes to a close, it’s time to take control of your money and set yourself up for an even better 2025. How to do it? We’ve got nine actionable steps from HerMoney CEO Jean Chatzky. From rebalancing your investment portfolio after a booming stock market year, to making sure your cash is earning its keep in high-yield savings accounts, we share how to optimize your money. 

Takeaways:

• Gains in tech stocks may have caused your asset allocation to shift, increasing risk. Rebalancing protects you if the market dips.


• Shop for high-yield savings accounts, CDs, or annuities with rates around 4-5% before rates drop further.


• Offset capital gains by selling underperforming investments.
