Newbie? Here's what you need to know.
Investing Early is key. I have been emphasizing this over and over again in my blog.
With this post, I will teach readers the 2 types of investments:
1) lending investment
2) ownership investment.
What is lending investment?
It is actually “lending your money to institutions in exchange for a profit. Putting money in the bank is lending investment. Money in a savings account or in a time deposit is actually a loan to the bank.
What is ownership investment?
It is the acquisition of OR OWNING assets (shares of stock, property, etc.) with intention of periodically earning income from these assets. In ownership investment gains or losses are actualized only when the asset is sold. This type of investments are generally more suitable for long term goals.
Now the more important stuff. Guides in Investing:
Know that:
a) the higher the return, the higher the risk;
b) the longer the time, (investment period), the lower the risk; and
c) the longer the time, the higher the return
Investing is a choice. Retiring rich is a choice. If you know what you're doing early on, nothing will stop you from retiring rich. Doing something NOW rather than later (or none at all) IS A FAR BETTER CHOICE to make.
Again, it’s developing the habit that’s more important. When you muster the discipline, you will retire rich.
Good luck and happy investing!
