Learn to Invest Without Tears Before 2014 Ends

Wednesday, December 3, 2014
Growing up, I was taught that the only way that I could earn money is to get a job. The term "investing" sounds very foreign and very uncommon for me. When I started dropping by at National Bookstore and reading books in business and investing books that I became fully aware that there are more opportunities available.





If you want to earn more money, you have to work for longer hours and you have to be available for the job. This is where investing is applicable. You let the money work for you.

There are many ways that you can make an investment. This consists of putting money on stocks, managed funds such as mutual funds, bonds, UITF and even investing on properties and real estates. Collectively they are called "investment vehicles" wherein each vehicle possess has pros and cons but everyone as early as you are now, you need to start investing! You have to put a certain amount of your income to work for you slowly.

What Investing is all about?

Investing is all about taking risk for something that you believe will give you a benefit in the future. You cannot invest in an investment vehicle that you do not know as such not anyone will proceed to directly investing in stocks if he/she doesn't even know the true meaning of stocks.



Investing is important to learn and to adopt for it can increase the chances of your financial freedom. You can never be rich as an employee! You need to take a risk for your money to consider a much bigger and faster profit.

If you are still in your 20s you are of a big advantage. You have all the energy to work harder, save bigger and invest greater amount. For those in the 30s fret not, I'll congratulate you ngayon pa lang for stepping up and taking action now. It is important to remember that the more you delay your investing, the lesser the chance of your money to grow in the amount you expected it to be. Remember my post about Compound Interest?!

Why You Should Invest NOW?

1. You are not getting younger. Every day is an added day for your age. You need to plan your retirement as early as now.


2. You have familial responsibilities. Whether you like or not you have familial responsibilities. You owe it to your family and your soon to be family to be financially prepared. Investing gives you the capability to have a chance in making your money grow.

3. You do not know where to put your money. If in any RARE case you have money surplus then investing is a good way that you can spend your money intelligently. People who work for 2-3 jobs can get enough excess money to start investing.
