Simple Guidelines for Success"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>This is not a bad article on investing.  Again this is &#8220;food for thought&#8221; about some options for the beginner.<br \/>\nThe links are ok, but as with all advise on investing you need to read, research and study a lot, because no one else will want to take care of your money like you do, unless they want to get it away from you! &#8211; WD0AJG<\/p>\n<p>A financial advisor and friend once told me, &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t matter how good of job someone has, if they want to acquire wealth in this life, at some point they are going to have to invest in something.&#8221; Investing is something most people will do during their lifetime. They may invest in real estate, life insurance, stocks, bonds, mutual funds or a simple 401K.<\/p>\n<p>Good investing can bring peace of mind, security and the lifestyle you and your <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>family<\/strong> want to live. On the other hand, poor investing or not investing can cause a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lot<\/strong> of personal and <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>family<\/strong> stress. Here are a few basic ideas and tips for someone just beginning his or her portfolio:<\/p>\n<p><b>Start Young<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Albert Einstein supposedly called compound interest &#8220;the eighth wonder of the world.&#8221;  <br \/>The younger you start investing, the less you will have to invest to enjoy the same yield. For example, suppose you have a retirement goal of $500,000 and you want to retire at age 65. (For this example, we&#8217;ll use an average return of 6%)<\/p>\n<p>If you start investing at age 35, you will have to invest $498 each month for 30 years for a total of $179,191 to reach you goal. However if you begin to invest at age 55, you will have to invest $3,051 each month, or a total of $366,123 to reach your retirement goal. Money invested while you are young yields a much higher return.<\/p>\n<p><b>Buy Safe Investments to Start<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Entering the world of investments can be an overwhelming and intimidating experience. There is so much information, investment strategies and investment types that it would take a lifetime to learn all of them, and by then, it&#8217;s too late. Start with some simple, safe investments while you continue to learn. Not only will you be able to start investing earlier in life, but you will also gain confidence as you watch your portfolio grow.<\/p>\n<p><b>Use a Broker<\/b><\/p>\n<p>With the Internet and online <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>stock<\/strong> broking service, it&#8217;s easy to buy and sell securities without ever talking to real person. However, when you&#8217;re just getting started, it&#8217;s a good idea to meet with a broker. Ask friends or <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>family<\/strong> to refer a good, honest broker.<\/p>\n<p>Brokers can explain things clearly, will introduce you to investing and guide you in the right direction. They can help you set up accounts like an IRA or <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>education<\/strong> savings plan. They can even set up an automatic investment plan so contributions will automatically withdraw from your banking account each <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>month<\/strong>. This is also good for someone who has a hard time dedicating money to investing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Become Educated<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We live in a world of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>information<\/strong> and there is a wealth of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>information<\/strong> about investing. A <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lot<\/strong> can be learned from credible websites, you can find books at your local library, join an online investment group, talk to your peers and even sign up for free investing seminars. Lack of knowledge should never be a reason not to invest.<\/p>\n<p><b>Practice Online Investing<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Before you jump head first into the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>stock<\/strong> market, you should spend some time testing the water. There a couple of ways you can do this. You can start by investing and trading penny stocks. Penny stocks give you experience, let you <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>use<\/strong> investment tools and make decisions based on news without a large initial investment. However, some have deemed penny stocks riskier, but they are a good way to get your feet wet.<\/p>\n<p>You can also <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>use<\/strong> a trading simulation service. You can invest virtual money in a virtual <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>stock<\/strong> market that is based on the real <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>stock<\/strong> market. You will be able to learn to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>use<\/strong> tools, become familiar with the different types of investments and weigh your risk with no real danger of losing your money.<\/p>\n<p><b>Invest for Retirement<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Retirement is the #1 reason people invest. With a depleting social security system, people are relying more and more on personal investments to insure the lifestyle they want in the later years. Individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs are account options for retirement. You can see a local investment agent or research the topic on your own to decide which is best for you.<\/p>\n<p><b>Invest for Higher Education<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We not only invest for our own benefit but also for that of our <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>family<\/strong>. An <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>education<\/strong> fund that is started at a child&#8217;s birth has a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lot<\/strong> of potential. Even if only a small amount is contributed each <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>month<\/strong>. This is also a great way to introduce your children to investing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Resources<\/b><\/p>\n<p>LifeTips. (2006).
