Why Invest?
How it can change your finances, ambitions and your future.
Welcome to our first edition to this newsletter, where we will delve into the world of investing and explore the significance it holds in shaping our financial future. In this first edition, I thought it would be a great place to outline the question of “why should we invest?”
The concept of investing consumes an array of different benefits, both long term and short term. The main benefits lay in the long term bracket for those who are looking to invest for many years; these consist of: financial freedom, wealth creation and beating inflation. Inevitably, these advantages allow an individual of any social class who is willing to put the effort, time and patience in to provide them with the ultimate freedom in life.
Lets go into detail on these 3 benefits of long term investing. There are many more which we will look into together and discuss in future editions:
Financial freedom - Financial limitations are the headache of anyone’s life; however, investing can set you free of these woes. This is simply because it offers you the flexibility of making your own personal choices in regards to your preferences, and these are not hindered by your finances. By building a diversified investment portfolio which can survive and provide during the worst of crisis’ across the globe, you are able to create a clear path towards a more secure and fulfilling future.
Wealth creation - Investing allows your money to work for you, enabling a snowball affect overtime which helps to build up your wealth and assets. By investing smartly and putting trust into your journey, your portfolio will give you the chance to generate returns and also increase your starting capital. This potential for growth is how many people around the world have acquired a strong wealth, as well as opening many more doors for their family’s future in life.
Beating inflation - This is arguably one of the most rewarding outcomes that investing can do for you. Despite this fact, the vast majority of people will not seek to invest, they will just leave their money stored in a low interest savings account whilst inflation slowly eats away at it inside that account. Investing offers the potential to earn returns that outpace inflation, and thus beating it so that you can have more money instead of less. In addition to this, you are able to protect your wealth from being whittled away at every year slowly and can watch the magic that investing entails.
