Investing is a very simple process. When you break it down and understand some of the basics of investing, you might be able to overcome some of the stress and worry that often go hand in hand with investing your savings.
In order to generate wealth and to be a successful investor, it's important that you understand that postponing pleasure and investing for the future is the key to generating great wealth. Without capitol to work with, investing is impossible. When you look at your investing as a business then you might be able to see that the most important thing you can do is to feed your investment and contribute as much money as possible into your investment portfolio.
First, in order to make money with your investments you need to have the ability to buy something at a low price and either quickly sell it for a profit or wait for that asset to appreciate in value and then be able to sell it at a profit. Here's a easy to understand example that you can even use to invest a small sum of money and reap a reward. Go to a thrift store or a second hand store and find something that you know is under-priced. Maybe you can find some china or some shoes that you know are under-priced. You know that if you buy that asset, you can sell it at a higher price either online or at another shop.
Take this example and transfer that into traditional investing. You watch the price of gold or silver and you see that there's a slump in the market. You buy up some silver or gold, take delivery of it and bide your time. Soon the price of gold or silver shoots up. You seize your opportunity and cash out, generating more money in your bank account to invest in other assets.
Now you have more money to buy more assets which you can turn into more profit. As your savings grow, you have more money to leverage for higher priced investments such as real estate or, again, gold and silver. Resisting that temptation to declare yourself rich and spend all your profits might be difficult but looking at the big picture and understanding that once you reach a point where your investments are diverse and your portfolio is immense, it's difficult to stop the momentum that you have gained.
Your goal should be to live like a pauper until you reach the point where your investments are generating enough income as they grow so you can live off of your investments. This goal is entirely possible and this is how many wealthy people live their life.
Of course, many of their investment assets are real estate, businesses and spread among mutual funds, stocks, bonds and precious metals such as a gold IRA. Just think of the earning potential of having 2 million dollars investing earning just five percent annually. That's one hundred grand that you could live off of and still have your initial investment dollars hard at work generating more income for you.
The power of investing is the surest way to wealth and it all starts with the first dollar. If you're not saving for your future and investing for the long term then you very well might find yourself near the end of your life with nothing to show for it. Begin saving starting today. Set up a plan that ensures your financial success and you can know what it feels like to be financially secure.
