  • If you're like most people, you have a few regrets when it comes to money. 80% of Americans say they have financial regrets in some form or another, according to a survey conducted by Quicken.

The article from AOL Finance discusses the nuances of investing with friends and family, highlighting both the potential benefits and pitfalls. It outlines four key "dos" for such investments: 1) Set Clear Expectations - Clearly define the terms of the investment, including roles, responsibilities, and expected returns. 2) Document Everything - Formalize agreements in writing to avoid misunderstandings. 3) Be Transparent - Keep all parties informed about the investment's progress, successes, and failures. 4) Plan for Disputes - Establish a mechanism for resolving conflicts before they arise. Additionally, it mentions one major "don't": Avoid Mixing Personal and Business Relationships - Keep personal relationships separate from business dealings to prevent strain on personal ties if the investment goes south. The article emphasizes the importance of professionalism and clear communication to maintain both the investment's integrity and personal relationships.
