Intro to Investing

Investing. To some the word brings fear, to others excitement; to some thrill, and others worry. However all must agree it is necessary.

Some are slaves to their money. They empty their piggy bank and count their money over and over again. Attached to what they have, they are afraid to spend or take risks and as a result are defined and confined by what their salary.. However, the person who instead of becoming a slave to his money, makes his money into his slaves to carry out his or her wishes and investments, will have much more productive use of his money. 

The opportunities which exist for investing are limitless. Anything you could imagine involving money, has in it an opportunity to get involved and find something in it which is invest-able. Real estate, stocks, loans, currency, commodities, and start up businesses are only some of the areas people find their passion to lay and take them far. 

The opportunities are there but people remain hesitant. Why? 

1. Ignorance. The world of investing and finance has its own lingo and expressions which seem scary until you get to know them. 

2. Fear of Loss. When most people hear the word "risk" they automatically process it to mean "loss". However, this is far from the truth. First of all, there is a huge spectrum of investments - some are not risky in the least and some are extremely risky. However, to write off every investment opportunity because you view it as a potential to lose will make you lose the most. The money that just collects dust instead of interest or returns on investment, just sits not only causing a big opportunity cost for no reason, but also depreciates in value as inflation gets worse. 

3. Don't know where to start. Many people don't fee a particular passion, so instead they are slammed with too many options that in the end, none get picked. 

4. Don't have the time. Many people think they do not have the time to look into and manage their money and investments. However they fail to recognize the opportunity cost. Would you pay $3,000 a month not to have to worry about managing your money? Well guess what, by not investing and making an extra $3,000 a month, you are essentially paying that to not have to manage your investment!

These are some of the many factors we have heard and witnessed which tend to prevent people from investing properly. These are not only true of the layman or average working individual, even wealthy and successful investors are themselves hesitant to investing in new types of opportunities because their lack of knowledge in a niche area, not knowing the right places to look, or not having the time to research properly.
