Investment Tips for Beginners
From the page www.associatedcontent.com
Ever wanted to start investing your money, but didn’t know how to go about it? Did you try to do some research, but found the information hard to understand? Here are some simple tips in plain English to help the beginner investor get started:
1. Pay Yourself First. The biggest mistake Americans make is not paying themselves before they pay their bills. If you don’t pay yourself first, you probably won’t at all. Start saving 10% of your paycheck each week so you can have some money to invest. It may not seem like much at first, but you have to start some where.
2. Be Divested. In other words, diversify. Make sure you have some money that you can get your hands on quickly in case of emergency. This is called short term investing. You also want some money in long term stocks. Stocks have the chance of making the highest interest. With stocks you always have the chance of losing your money. That is why you need to be balanced. So place some of your money in short term investments and some in long term investments.
