Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Royal Caribbean Gr Stock In The Last 5 Years

When it comes to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43759368/silicon-valley-millionaire-asks-dave-ramsey-if-he-should-buy-a-250000-lamborghini-heres-what-car-nut-ramsey-always-asks-himself">big purchases</a> like a new car, even high earners can wrestle with whether they are spending too much. That was the case for Landon, a 27-year-old caller to &#8220;The Ramsey Show,&#8221; who recently bought a 2018 Mercedes S-Class for $35,000. Despite having a household income of $250,000 and a net worth of $750,000, Landon couldn't shake the feeling that he had made a mistake.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Does Spending $35K on a Car Make Financial Sense?</h2>
Landon and his wife are in a strong financial position. They are in what Dave Ramsey refers to as &#8220;Baby Step 7,&#8221; meaning they have no debt, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/02/43789996/dave-ramsey-says-a-paid-off-mortgage-is-the-new-status-symbol-not-a-bmw-do-you-agree">paid-off home</a>, and are focused on building wealth and giving generously. Despite that, Landon felt uneasy about sinking money into something that depreciates in value.

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
Ramsey show co-hosts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41824000/are-you-broke-average-or-wealthy-dave-ramsey-host-breaks-down-the-financial-behaviors-that-defin">George Kamel</a> and Ken Coleman reassured Landon that his purchase was well within reasonable spending limits. A common rule of thumb on &#8220;The Ramsey Show&#8221; is that the total value of a household's vehicles should not exceed half of their annual income. With $45,000 total tied up in vehicles and an income of $250,000, Landon is well under that threshold.
"Dave would have said, &#8216;You should have bought a nicer car!&#8217;' Kamel remarked. "You&#8217;re not doing anything wrong."&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Emotional Side of Money</h2>
While Landon's concern appeared to be financial, Coleman and Kamel dug deeper and suggested that his discomfort stemmed from an emotional struggle rather than a financial misstep. They pointed out that he had spent years being financially aggressive—paying off his home and saving diligently—which made it difficult for him to shift into a mindset where he could enjoy some of his wealth.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mark-cubans-advice-for-lotto-winners">Many are surprised by Mark Cuban's advice for lotto winners: Cash or annuity?</a>
Coleman identified shame as a possible factor, explaining that some people feel guilty about spending money, even when they have more than enough. Landon admitted that his financial discipline made it hard for him to relax when making large purchases.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Balanced Approach to Money</h2>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43768530/should-married-couples-split-expenses-dave-ramsey-says-no-youre-married-not-roommates">Ramsey</a> often emphasizes that financial success is about more than just saving—it's about balancing saving, spending, and giving. Kamel explained that if someone only saves and never spends, they can end up depriving themselves unnecessarily.
Ultimately, the hosts reassured Landon that he wasn't making an irresponsible decision. Kamel reminded him that as his investments continue to grow, his home will naturally make up a smaller percentage of his net worth over time. "You got another 30 to 40 years of working for ya and investing to build wealth," he said. "And so, in the meantime, you have to do something called enjoying life."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Much Should You Spend On A Car Given Your Income?</h2>
If you're in a similar position—earning well, debt-free, and hesitant about spending—it's worth considering a few key points:
<ul>
<li>Do the math: Ramsey's team advises that all vehicles in your household don't exceed half of your annual income.</li>
<li>Check your emotions: If guilt or fear is driving your hesitation, ask yourself whether your concerns are based on real financial risks or ingrained habits.</li>
<li>Find balance: A strong financial plan includes saving, spending, and giving in reasonable proportions.</li>
</ul>
For Landon, the verdict was clear: spending $35,000 on a car wasn't reckless—it was simply an adjustment to a new financial phase. And while the car will depreciate, the financial wisdom he's gained will last far longer

A petition in Canada has more than 300,000 signatures and wants to revoke Elon Musk's Canadian citizenship, which he obtained in 1989 when he moved<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/06/39547388/happy-birthday-elon-musk-53-facts-and-figures-about-tesla-spacex-ceo-on-his-53rd-birthday"> to the country.</a>
What Happened: Musk's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43995014/elon-musks-influence-over-the-government-set-to-increase-trump-orders-all-federal-agencies-to-appoint-a-doge-commissar">close relationship with</a> President Donald Trump has rubbed some Canadian citizens the wrong way and residents of America's neighbor are calling for Musk's citizenship to be removed.
A <a href="https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-5353">petition </a>to the Canadian Prime Minister says Musk has used his wealth and power to influence elections.
"Elon Musk has engaged in activities that go against the national interest of Canada," the petition says.
The petition also says Musk is part of a foreign government trying to "erase Canadian sovereignty," a reference to Trump calling for Canada to become the 51st state of the U.S.
The petition, which began on Feb. 20 and will close for signatures on June 20, has 331,162 signatures as of the time of writing. This total represents around 0.8% of the Canadian population (39,996,554) if the signatures are legitimate.
"We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Prime Minister to revoke Elon Musk's dual citizenship status, and revoke his Canadian passport effective immediately."
Only Canadian citizens and residents of the country can submit petitions. Among provinces, Ontario leads the way with 127,009 signatures followed by British Colombia (68,269) and Quebec (52,761).
The petition was filed by author Qualia Reed from British Colombia. The petition is also supported by Democrat MP Charlie Angus.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Electronic petitions have to have at least 500 signatures to make their way to the House of Commons, which could lead to a formal government response. With over 300,000 signatures, the petition qualifies for the next step after the June 20 closing date as long as the validity of the signatures can be proven.
Musk was born in South Africa before moving to Canada. His mother Maye Musk was born in Saskatchewan. Musk moved to the U.S. later and received citizenship in America in 2002.
A CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/25/americas/canada-petition-musk-citizenship-intl-latam/index.html">report </a>questions if the petition can actually lead to Musk's citizenship being revoked.
"Canada does not revoke citizenship that is lawfully obtained," a source told CNN.
While Musk may not have his Canadian citizenship removed, the attention the petition has brought could have a negative impact on Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in the country.
Musk <a href="https://x.com/essenviews/status/1894270080206135705">replied </a>to someone who posted about the petition with "Canada is not a real country." Musk later deleted the <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1894207733693649193">post</a>.
Parts of Canada have threatened to place tariffs on Tesla vehicles to retaliate against Trump's tariffs on the country. With Musk a close ally of Trump, Tesla could find itself in a trade war between the U.S. and Canada and see the price of Tesla vehicles rise substantially for Canadian residents, potentially hurting market share in the region.
Musk's recent political activity has led to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43172806/tesla-lost-15-billion-in-brand-value-in-2024-report-says-did-elon-musks-political-push-hurt-ev-giant">lower brand value rankings</a> for Tesla and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43447273/tesla-sales-drop-12-in-california-is-elon-musks-support-for-donald-trump-hurting-ev-sales">lower sales in California</a> and several countries to start the 2025 year.

Today, at 11:04 AM on February 27th, a significant trading signal occurred for Autozone, Inc. (AZO) as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $3412.10. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

Many people have tried to predict the future price of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) over the years, including Binance founder <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/changpeng-zhao">Changpeng "CZ" Zhao.</a>
Zhao may have had one of the closest predictions of all time, predicting more than four years ago that the current sharp drop from six-digits to around $85,000 would be called a crash.
What Happened: Bitcoin soared to new highs after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41778425/bitcoins-all-time-high-a-groundbreaking-milestone-and-strong-post-election-rally-coming-ex">2024 presidential election</a>, topping the $75,000 level.
Months later in January, Bitcoin hit another all-time high of $109,114.88 on Jan. 20, near the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
Since that time, Bitcoin has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43987636/bitcoin-tumbles-below-85000-amid-president-trumps-eu-tariff-threats"> fallen in value</a> and is now trading under the $85,000 level.
While many reports cite the sharp crash in Bitcoin's valuation, it's likely important to remember that Bitcoin is still trading higher than levels seen four months ago before the 2024 election.
Binance founder and former CEO Zhao, best known to many as CZ, took to social media platform X to express his thoughts on the drop in Bitcoin's value in recent months.
"In this bloodbath today, I see a lot of people referring to this tweet," CZ <a href="https://x.com/cz_binance/status/1894433074022105469">said</a>, sharing a tweet he made on Dec. 17, 2020.
CZ said that he had no visibility into the future at the time, but encouraged investors to zoom out on the Bitcoin chart to see the strong gains over the past year.
The Dec. 17, 2020 tweet was:
"Waiting for the new headline: #Bitcoin ‘CRASHES' from $101,000 to $85,000. Save the tweet."
CZ's prediction has come true in recent months. Here's a look back at how much investors could have made following along with his prediction.

 Investing $1,000 in Bitcoin: On Dec. 17, 2020, Bitcoin traded between $21,234.68 and $23,642.66. An investor could have purchased 0.0423 Bitcoin at the day's highest price with a $1,000 investment.
Today that $1,000 investment would be worth $3,534.43, based on a price of $83,556.33 for Bitcoin at the time of writing. This represents a hypothetical gain of 253.4% over the past four plus years.
The $1,000 investment would have been worth $4,615.56 and up 361.6% at Bitcoin's all-time high price of $109,114.88 last month.
For comparison, the same $1,000 invested in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, would have returned far less for investors.
A $1,000 investment in that ETF on Dec. 17, 2020, could have bought 2.68 SPY shares and would be worth $1,568.15 today, up 56.8%.
The comments from Zhao are a reminder that Bitcoin will not go up in a straight line and will have periods of dips. History has shown that Bitcoin has outperformed many stocks and asset types over one-year, five-year and longer periods.
