The goal was tough so I need that extra push to get it done.
The same push is needed to manage tough financial goal with high-return investments.
#1. Am I Talking about getting richer….?
Yes, this is one of the toughest goal to achieve in life.
Here one must be ready to handle higher investment risks no matter WIT.
Out of fear of losing money one does include riskier investment options in portfolio.
But when target is to achieve tough financial goals, higher investment risks in the best alternative.
When we invest our money in riskier options, we can face two negatives.
First, either the money is not appreciating as fast an inflation.
Second, there is negative appreciation of the invested money.
But these two negatives can be managed if we can only stay invested for long term.
When we stay invested for long term, invested money will not only grow as fast as inflation but will also beat it.
All high-return investments are inherently risky. But investors cannot ponder too much on the word ‘risk’.
Fearing risk should not influence investors to refrain from investing.
