All investments are a trade-off between risk and
return. An investment with a high return will have a corresponding high
degree of risk. On the other hand, a “safe” investment with low risk
will offer a lower return or profit.
Therefore, any investment is a compromise - where
each investor must weigh the different levels of risk and return for any
given investment. One investor may be willing to take more of a risk in
exchange for the potentially large returns, while another is more
comfortable with safer, less risky investments. There is no perfect
investment for all people.
With that said, let’s talk about the basics of
financial planning. Before doing anything else, the first steps are to pay
off any high interest consumer debt (i.e. credit cards), fund your
retirement accounts, and save up a “safety net” cash reserve.
If you don’t have the money to do these things,
you need to start spending less and saving more (what a concept) so that
you do. If you don’t take these vital first steps, you will never,ever
be wealthy.
Once you have taken the above basic steps, you are
ready to invest for your future, invest for growth, and invest to be wealthy!!
From this point forward, we are going to assume that you are ready. A
moment ago we stated that there is no such thing as the “perfect”
investment, and this is true. But one thing is for sure…
