Investing Tips
By TopTenReviews Contributor
A financial advisor and friend once told me, ”It doesn’t matter how good of job someone has, if they want to acquire wealth in this life, at some point they are going to have to invest in something.” Investing is something most people will do during their lifetime. They may invest in real estate, life insurance, stocks, bonds, mutual funds or a simple 401K.
Good investing can bring peace of mind, security and the lifestyle you and your family want to live. On the other hand, poor investing or not investing can cause a lot of personal and family stress. Here are a few basic ideas and tips for someone just beginning his or her portfolio:
Start Young
Albert Einstein supposedly called compound interest “the eighth wonder of the world.” The younger you start investing, the less you will have to invest to enjoy the same yield. For example, suppose you have a retirement goal of $500,000 and you want to retire at age 65. (For this example, we’ll use an average return of 6%)
If you start investing at age 35, you will have to invest $498 each month for 30 years for a total of $179,191 to reach you goal. However if you begin to invest at age 55, you will have to invest $3,051 each month, or a total of $366,123 to reach your retirement goal. Money invested while you are young yields a much higher return.
