INVESTING

In this volatile world, investing can be a scary thing.  The only thing we hear about in the news are all negative things, so it's natural to have a negative opinion when all that is absorbed are local news and online resources.  There is still good news though, investing can be fixed into a solid retirement vehicle that will add padding to income that is to be received.  The major issue is that a large marjority of individuals HAVE NOT had an opportunity to sit down with a financial professional, probably ever.

 

The goal is to actually tackle investing head on and at a young age if possible.  The worst thing that anyone could ever do is to take a lacksidaisical approach to investing and let too much time pass.  Investing is not only for the affluent, it is intended to be an aid for your comfortable retirement.  Time and time again, too many people are at the retirement age, but needing to go back to work or keep working into their 70s and 80s.  It's become a reality for a good majority because of the LACK of planning.  And with Social Security looking like it's on life support now makes it even more crucial to address this seemingly uncomfortable topic in your 20s and 30s.  Would you rather be uncomfortable at a younger age when physically and mentally you are able to handle it better? Or would you rather be uncomfortable and not situated in your later days when your body won't want to do certain things well on a regular basis?  I hope your answer is now versus later, your mind and body will thank you.
