Many people do not invest, thinking that this is an activity for the rich. Let's agree that if you go to the stock exchange with a round sum in your pocket, income can come faster (although this is not a fact!). However, even the lack of money is not a hindrance. In today's article, we will talk about why you can and should do investments in any financial situation.
While we are young, the issue of money periodically causes difficulties. But there is a solution here too. As they say, if you have hands and legs, you will not be lost. With age, opportunities for earning become fewer and fewer, gradually decreasing to a minimum. And a pension does not always mean a comfortable old age. This is where investments come to the rescue, which can bring a stable passive income and generally serve as a personal pension fund. However, before that, you need to create one. This is the point of investing: today you are building a house in which tomorrow you will hide from bad weather.
On the other hand, investments have a more short-term benefit. Those who understand how the global financial system works are aware of such a phenomenon as inflation. Inflation is when today you can buy less for the same amount of money than some time ago. In Russia, for example, inflation for rubles is 9% per year. In the short term, this may not be so noticeable. But when, after a few years, you realize that chewing gum for a ruble now costs several times more, you understand that this has affected all goods.
One of the most conservative ways to combat inflation is to invest in a deposit, but today its yield is almost lower than the rate of inflation growth and is 4.9% on average. Investments offer other favorable conditions. Thus, the average yield on shares and bonds over 20 years is 17% and 9%, respectively, which is already on par with or even higher than inflation.
The issue of finances can take a long time to resolve, and unfortunately, you can't get your time back. But this doesn't mean that all is lost. You can start studying the topic of finances right now (and even should). Develop financial literacy, save money and invest your savings. In the first two cases, you will form a base that will be useful in budget planning, and this, in turn, is applicable far beyond investments. Investing in securities will teach you to understand the market so that by the time the money issue is resolved, you can direct them to effective assets. These may be small transactions. But this will be enough for the beginning. If quotes fall, you are unlikely to lose much, and experience will increase. It will not be possible to avoid all the mistakes in any case, but this way you will already immerse yourself in the topic.
Investing can help plan your pension and outpace inflation;
In order to invest, you do not necessarily have a ton of money;
It is important to study the topic of finance regardless of whether there is an opportunity to invest or not;
Even a small amount of investment will improve your understanding of the market, and will also become a basis for future investments, and with due discipline will launch the mechanism of compound interest.
As you can see, the topic of finance has a low entry threshold, the desire to master it is enough. At the same time, the knowledge that can be gleaned here has a wide range of applications: from accounting for expenses and budget planning to understanding the principles of investment. In general, as usual - learning is light!
Investing time and effort: This is the most common option. You invest your knowledge, skills, and time in projects that can generate income. For example:
Freelancing: Writing articles, design, programming, marketing - your skills can be in demand and paid.
Content creation: Running a blog, YouTube channel, social media account. Monetization occurs through advertising, affiliate programs, or selling your own products.
Developing a personal brand: Expertise in a certain field can attract customers and orders.
Using other people's resources:
Crowdfunding: Raising funds for the implementation of a project from a large number of people.
Attracting investors: Finding people willing to invest money in your idea or business.
Affiliate programs: Collaborating with other companies and receiving a commission for attracting customers.
Investing in yourself:
Training: Gaining new knowledge and skills that will increase your value in the labor market and open up new opportunities for earning money.
Developing soft skills: Communication skills, leadership qualities, and the ability to work in a team are all important assets that will help you in any field.
Investing without money is not a magic pill, but rather a strategy that requires a creative approach and willingness to work. This is an opportunity to start your investment journey, even if you do not have start-up capital. The main thing is to correctly assess your capabilities, choose a suitable strategy, and not be afraid to learn new things
