Getting There with Investments

Article Abstract:

One way to build a future nest egg is to systematically save and invest. The more you save, the faster the investment will grow. Before beginning an investment program, you must formulate a plan of what you expect from your investments. Probably the best investments for your financial program would be stocks or real estate; savings accounts grow too slowly, and futures are too risky. Diversity, even within one type of investment, is desirable to help achieve maximum growth with the maximum safety. An example of the savings and investment program for a thirty year old man earning $30,000 is given. The plan, devised by the president of a financial planning firm, involves setting aside thirteen percent of the salary annually and investing it in two growth funds and a money market fund. Whatever the plan, you should practice catching major market shifts. With more money to invest, an aggressive real estate investment program can lead to real gains. Despite the occasional losses which are inevitable in any type of investment program, sticking with your original plan can help you realize your dream of financial independence.
