What Is Investing?
About this book
How much money will you need to retire? Do you have a financial plan? Do you know your personal net worth? Will you outlive your money?
Questions like these can keep you up at night. That’s probably why most of us put off answering them until we “have more time.” Problem is, unless you’re actively planning for your financial future now, it most likely isn’t going to be golden.
See, it turns out that wealth and financial security don’t grow on trees. If you want to generate abundance, you need to educate yourself and act intelligently. And you need to do it sooner than later.
The second book in the Money Makes the World Go ‘Round series, What Is Investing? gives you the information you need to take a hard look at your personal investment strategy... even if you currently don’t have one.
Are your financial expectations realistic? Does your budgeting and capital-building plan make sense? Do you know how to evaluate risk and maximize your reward?
With a hands-on examination of the types of investment options available to you, this important book offers the support you need to begin shaping a financial strategy that is aligned to your goals.
