Investing is based on a simple formula: spend less than you earn and invest the balance.
This is the key to building wealth. When investing there are a couple of key elements:
- Contribute on a regular basis
- Get the right balance between risk and returns
- Check the tax impact
- Don’t put all your eggs into one basket
- Invest on a long term basis.
Setting up budgets is a good place to start in order for you to help take control of your finances.
There are many types of investments. Don’t be confused by the number of different types of investments. They all carry various levels of risk and return.
