How do you teach your children or even yourself to be financially prepared for life? Can you count on social security or pensions to carry you through your golden years? Unfortunately, no one has a crystal ball to see into the future, but historically speaking there have only been decreases in the amount of support from these sources. So how do you ensure a secure financial future? Make your money work for you by investing.
It does not matter if it is individual stocks, mutual funds, options, REITs, ETFs, IRA, ROTH, 401k, TSP, etc. Each person should have a portion of their portfolio invested in the stock market and discover the amazing effects of compound interest. At today’s interest rates at the bank with money markets hovering at 1%, it is an impossibility to get your money to grow.
If you aren’t investing yet, get curious, start learning about the stock market, and teach your children to ensure both your futures. Of course, make sure you are debt free except for your home loan before you start investing. Then learn all you can and reap the rewards!
