Trade Away to Prepare for the Rainy Day
It is so difficult to think of the future, especially when you are bothered by the spending of the past. Why think of putting more money into your savings when you are still beset by your student loan? How can you think of your retirement years if you have to worry about current mortgages?
In this time and year, even the current events present problems that will make you think twice before investing for the future. What if the total amount you have from ten years of frugality devalues by more than 50% in the stocks in less than a month? With the recession in full swing, this is unfortunately a very likely scenario.
It is thus very tempting to live for the moment, rather than think ahead and invest. It's easier to think of this month's bills, or even this year's financial situation, instead of worry about what may happen in the years or even decades to come. I don't blame them for thinking this way, but I also think that this is not the most responsible way of thinking.
One of the unfortunate truths of the human condition is the fact that we all get old eventually. And when your body has wrinkled and your vision weaker than it used to be, you just wouldn?t be able to work as efficiently as you did in your younger years. By then, the best course of action would be to rely on your investments.
Even that will be denied from you, however, if all your money has been stored in savings accounts with almost non-existent interest rates. Investing, then, can be summed up as the measure that you take for the inevitable rainy day. It may seem far away right now, but that doesn't mean that it does not matter. So save up, invest, and be prepared. Who knows? If you do it really well, you may capable of retiring earlier than expected. - 23196
