Invest – But Why on
Earth Should You?
More the security of a safe future turns bleak, more the benefits
of social security system turns greyer, the more we see an
increase in the importance of investing.
It is man’s inherent nature to secure his future. ‘Save for a
rainy day’ was not an idiom coined by sages without any wisdom and
foresight. The social situation has however gone a radical change
in the past 6 or 7 years. People now are aware that depending on
their social security benefits or their personalized retirement
plans may not assure them of a healthy old age. They do not want
to face the grim reality of an eventuality when they wake up one
morning and find that they do not have a job to turn to for their
daily bread or a roof over their heads. It is no wonder then that
investing for the future has taken such a giant leap forward and
become the passion of millions across the country. People have
realized that this is perhaps the only way to face the unknown –
whatever the future holds.
It is common for most people to stash away some money every month
at the safe and secure savings bank account. But is it helping you
to grow your money faster? Imagine you have suddenly come in for
some unexpected inheritance or even won the jackpot or a lottery.
What would you do with this money? Again, put it in your savings
bank. Investing is the way to go.
Look at it this way. Investing can also make you realize many of
your dreams. Dreams like owning a large house, going on a world
tour, sending your children to reputed universities, buying lavish
gifts for your kith and kin and many more can be accomplished if
you invested today. Of course, it all depends how much money you
want to have at the end of a specific period of time. This will
determine what type of investment you should do, to achieve this
goal.
If however you want to money grow faster and you need faster
returns on your investment, you will have to invest your money in
high-risk investment options, which will yield high returns in a
short period of time. If you are investing for some event or phase
of your life in the far future, you can safely invest in long-term
investment options. Here your money grows for a long time and you
can reap its benefits in the future, when you need it most.
The whole idea behind investing is to secure your future and
create wealth for a better future, where you let your money grow
over a long period of time. It is important to remember that you
can not postpone retirement indefinitely. Age and subsequent
infirmity will catch up with you sooner or later.
The unfortunate part is that the modern-day situation does not
permit any of us to relax and believe that the social security
network will assure us of a comfortable future. As was evident
from the Enron debacle, depending on the company’s own retirement
plan is also not a wise decision. So what are you left with?
Investment of course. As this is the only way to have an assured
income when you retire and need the comfort of money on your side.
