Just like the rest of the lot, he has his dreams. His dreams are no different than you and me, he also dreams to live is a plush home owned by him. He dreams to build and decorate his home with his wife and children and family. He wants to give the beast possible education to his children&#8217;s. He wants to go on exotic holidays each <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>year<\/strong> and wants to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> sure that he has enough funds <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> his life secure post retirement.<\/p>\n<p>One careful look at his bank balance and spending habits, and we get the clear picture that his dreams are going to stay as dreams and the chances of them turning to reality is in oblivion. His savings pattern is just not sufficient enough to pay for his dreams. Every <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> has got the right to dream and dream big. But our habits (bad) holds us from achieving those dreams. The only way to achieve our dream is to create wealth. Wealth creation is possible only through wise <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span>. Lets discuss and understand the thought <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>process<\/strong> that goes into <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span> and the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>process<\/strong> to create ways of wise <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What shall be the objective of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span>?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Investment<\/strong> is <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> sure-shot <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>process<\/strong> that can <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> you rich and will enable you to achieve your financial goals of life. The first step before you start your <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span> activity is to budget your expenses. You shall know the pattern of your spending. The items that makes you most greedy and items on which you have control. How much a movies to costing you each month? what dent your dinning is creating on your pocket? how irrelevant it was when you decided to buy that mobile phone last month? By budgeting your expenses you are actually putting a upper limit to all your expenses so that at the end of the month you can track your spending habits. Objective is to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>plan<\/strong> your budget and follow your <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>plan<\/strong>. Buy budgeting you not only <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>plan<\/strong> your expenses but also <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>plan<\/strong> your savings. Unless you have savings you have no <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span>. Once you create your realistic budget, start following the same. You will find that you have made a big value addition to you life. You are saving, and when you see your investment grow you will feel proud of your self. Do not think, just do it, it will feel good. Take it from me. The thought <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>process<\/strong> driving your investment is wealth creation for happiness and well being of your family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the process of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span>?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Investment<\/strong> has no secret formulae. The rule of investment is have the right information, <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>plan<\/strong> your savings and investment, and <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> investment on assets. The steps involved in the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>process<\/strong> of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span> is as listed below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Budget   to Save<\/li>\n<li>Save   and <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span> regularly<\/li>\n<li><strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Investment<\/strong>   shall be for long term<\/li>\n<li>Control   your debts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Why at all we should do <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span>?<\/strong><br \/>\nAsk your father and he will tell you the wisest thing he did when he started his career was to open a recurring deposit account in the bank at the start of his career. In those <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>time<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span> were limited or else people were less informed about investment options and about necessity of investment. Now the days have changed, not only people has become more aware about <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span> but also the demon of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>inflation<\/strong> making us think more aggressively about wise <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Inflation is eating away your savings<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Maintain a good standard of living<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Inflation eats away your money even when you are sitting and watching your favorite movie. If your have a monthly expenses as on today as Rs 15000 and annual <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>inflation<\/strong> is 5%, 20 years later those same goods will cost you a whopping Rs 40,000. It means for the same set of items today you are spending Rs 15,000 and after 20 years you will have to spend Rs 40,000. Bank deposit gives you a meager return of 6-7% per annum. After considering the effect of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>inflation<\/strong> and tax you are left with returns which is practically negative. Means investment in bank deposit is making you loose money rather than making it grow. This is not a wise <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the key to wise <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span>? <\/strong><br \/>\nWarren Buffet is an example of the most successful <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span> icon of this world. He has not build wealth over night. No <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> can build wealth over night. To build wealth you must remember those steps of investment, budget to save, save to invest, invest long term and control your debts. But this is for sure that all rich people did something very different than most of us. We will discuss few such wise investment to-do&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p><em>Start the process of investment as early as possible<\/em>.<br \/>\nLets take example of two friends, Ritu and Manish. Ritu started saving and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span> of Rs 750 per <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>year<\/strong> from the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>time<\/strong> she was just 15 years of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>age<\/strong>. After 15 years (when she was 30) she stopped <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span>. She allowed her investment to grow without any additions and withdrawals.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand Manish started investment of Rs 5,000 per <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>year<\/strong> when he was 30 years of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>age<\/strong> and continued his investment of Rs 5,000 till 60 years of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>age<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming both earned a steady return on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span> @ 15%, Ritu&#8217;s portfolio was a massive Rs 27.7 Lakhs by the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>time<\/strong> she reached 60 years of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>age<\/strong>. Manish accumulated wealth when he aged 60 was Rs 25 lakhs. The key to wise <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span> is give more <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>time<\/strong> to your money to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> more money.<\/p>\n<p><em>Get the benefit of compounding of money<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Once there was a king and a farmer. Both of them were good friends since childhood. One <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>day<\/strong> they were playing chess and the farmer played a good game and defeated the king. King was very impressed with the farmers game and he asked the farmer to choose his reward. The farmer was very clever. He asked the king to give him 1 grain of rice for the fist square of the chess board. 2 grains of rice for the second, 4 grains of rice for the third, 8 grains of the rice for the fourth and so on till the 64 squares are complete. The quantity of grain that was required to fill was 18,446,744,073,709,551615.<\/p>\n<p>Suppose you have Rs 1 today. Every <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>year<\/strong> your money doubles, then at the end of 64 years, your investment of Rs 1 today will become Rs 18,446,744,073,709,551615.<\/p>\n<p>This is the power of early <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span> compounding of money. Lets take a more practical example. Assuming your father gave you Rs 1,000 on your 10th birthday. As you was to young to handle that money he decided to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> a fixed deposit of those Rs 1,000 for next 50 years. Fixed deposit gave a steady return on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">investment<\/span> @ 8% per annum.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your   investment of just Rs 1,000 today will become Rs 47,000 in 50 years<\/li>\n<li>Your   investment of just Rs 5,000 today will become Rs 2,35,000 in 50 years<\/li>\n<li>Your   investment of just Rs 20,000 today will become Rs 9,38,000 in 50 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[http:\/\/www.getmoneyrich.com\/investment.htm]<\/p>\n<p>Author: <a href=\"http:\/\/EzineArticles.com\/?expert=Manish_Choudhary\">Manish Choudhary<\/a><br \/>\nArticle Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/ezinearticles.com\/?Investment-Guide&amp;id=3111509\">EzineArticles.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/retirementpass.com\/\">Retirement plan<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Investment is one sure-shot process that can make you rich and will enable you to achieve your financial goals of life.
