INVESTMENT TERMS
“SECRET OF BECOMING RICH” (the sure way to acquire financial wealth): Save at least 10% of your income and never spend it, but invest it. Never spend the principal, but accumulate enough wealth to live off the interest/investment income. $100 a month saved for 45 years @ 14% compounded interest = $1,228,800. Anyone can become a millionaire.
Compound Interest: Earning interest on the previous interest Compound Interest: Earning interest on the previous interest. The interest must be left in the investment. Risk: The chance of losing invested money. Rate of Return: Determined by the interest rate and the amount of the investment. Liquidity: How easily the investment can be turned into cash. Term: The time after which the interest is paid or the investment no longer pays interest.
If you had $10,000 to invest, which of the options above would you choose, or would you divide the money into several investments? Approximately $2000 in low risk, $4000 in medium risk, and $2000 in higher risk is a good choice for a young person. The older you get, the less risk you should take. It would be imprudent to put all $10,000 into one investment, especially a high risk one.
