When reading a book by Joe PROPERTY CASH MACHINE new Hartanto I felt conscious our plumpness was no conscious plan for this poor life seen from the number of consumer debt and a lack of assets.
Where are we at the age of 65 years?, perhaps without realizing we are planning to live & anak2 bother us, or to live quietly Dlm komlek elite housing or have to go up and down public transportation in order to survive?
From surveys in developed countries shows that 1% of people aged 65 years, including rich media, how the other? Now it is more:
- 1% rich
- 4% comfortable
- 5% must work to live
- 27% died
- 63% of life from another person compensation
This occurs in developed countries that their financial conditions compared to more established developing country of Indonesia. It turned out that> 60% will be borne by the child’s life or family.
This happens because FAILED PLAN OLD AGE since this time, no matter how old you are today. We KNOW when parents already declining condition of physical strength and even the brain / creativity of the remaining 5% only.
So there is no other way except from INVEST from now because “if you were born poor juncture it was not a mistake” but “if you die in a poor state of the newly named fault”
more focus for your investment, financial planners often recommend that you set your investment objectives first before actually investing. The investment objective must be clearly formulated, including the period of time. For example: “I want to buy a house worth $ 1,500 million in five years. ” If the investment objectives is clear, you just find the most appropriate investment instruments to achieve the investment objective.
In addition to its existing investment objectives, secondly, we also need money to invest because we are always exposed to inflation. As long as there is inflation or rising prices, value for money will always degenerate. Well, for our money is not eroded the value of inflation, we must make an investment.
Ideally, of course, we must look for an investment instrument that can provide higher returns than inflation. That way, the value of our money will always grow.
Therefore, experts in the bank deposit rate does not enter the category of investment. Because, after tax, deposit interest is generally not able to cover inflation. This is different from stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or properties that often can beat inflation.
Everyone needs to invest because the value of the money he has will always shrink inflation eroded. Well, we always breed for money, we should look for investment instruments that can beat inflation. Therefore, do not be complacent if you just put your money on deposit. Therefore, the deposits often can not beat inflation.
The first, we need to invest because we certainly have needs (needs) and desires (wants), which is very large. Well, some of the needs or desires that would not be fulfilled if we only rely on the flow of funds from salary alone. The need or desire is often referred to as an investment destination.
The purpose of this investment can be a very simple thing, but it could also very grandiose. For example, we take the goals that the middle course. For example, you want to buy a new car worth USD 100 million. If you are a month salary of about USD 6 million and you can only set aside a fund of Rp 1 million per month, meaning that you require 100 months to be able to raise USD 100 million. By investing the money, for example in mutual funds, the car will most likely be bought more quickly. You see, the money we invest is not stagnant, but continues to flourish.
Seeing the title of this post I guess you’re thinking this will be a “Aesop’s Fable,” but it is not. Let’s define two main trends of the stock market (stock exchange) which are the bull market and the bear market.
The Bull Market
The bull market (Bull Market) is defined when there are high expectations in the market welcome. When investors have a high certainty that the value of the shares will rise and that many fruits will come on the market (eg in 2006-2007) is said investors are goaded (that word I have just invent, in English is Bullish). It features a lot with many investors entering the market again as the economic boom is imminent. So when a company is offering bull signs (Bullish Signals) means that this is at a hike.
The Bear Market
I imagine that as the story of Ying-Yang, you have expectations that the Bear Market tends to be more melodramatic, pessimistic and “un-cool.” Bear Market (Bear Market) in completely the opposite of the bull. Investors believe the market will fall in value (eg when it has risen so much that growth is not supported by any foundation) or external forces (oil, economy, climate) anticipates a drop in consumption or company profits. In this trend, investors sell their shares and wait for the market has the opportunity to grow again.
This issue has been a contentious issue among investors about how to invest your money. Constant investment cost, Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is a strategy you can use to invest in the stock market in which you invest a sum of money from time to time. An example of this method is to invest $ 100 every paycheck to your investment account for retirement (IRA). This method is used extensively in retirement plans by the employer 401 (k) and 403 (b) and other plans where the taxpayer buys a certain amount of money ($ 100) regardless of the value of those shares, bonds or mutual fund . This helps a person to invest the time without having to wait to have a lot of money to do so.
Advantages
- You can invest without a lot of money at once, you can do with a small amount. There are many mutual farms do not charge you for investing in them with a plan automatically.
- As you invest your money in different periods, investing you protect all your money on a single date without knowing what will happen in the future.
- It will help you invest for the long term.
One of the investment products that most people are using mutual funds. In very few words, mutual funds are used to make a single investment in a diversified portfolio in which the risk of losing your money is minimized (hence the make lots of money too). The purpose of the mutual fund is not becoming a millionaire, but to have a steady growth of your investments over time. Other mutual funds that may represent an industry, a stock exchange (such as SP500, DOW or NASDAQ) or a personal affiliation (mutual funds green, which only invest in the environment).
A mutual fund is a conglomerate of investors who decide that their money is managed professionally. As can be hundreds or thousands of investors in the fund, the cost of the corridor is cheaper per head. These funds are managed by the company and invested in accordance with the goals of the fund (investing aggressive, conservative, pharmaceuticals, etc.). The fund manager is responsible to take decisions which to invest. If the fund is actively managed this means that the team that is managing the fund always try to get benefits to the market. There are other funds that are passive, they are just trying to invest in the stock indicate to only win if the whole market does.
The longest holiday of your life, or withdrawal, do not have to be boring or full of setbacks. Plan now so that when you enjoy the most. One way to plan for retirement is to use an investment vehicle called the Roth IRA – IRA means Individual Retirement Account for its acronym in English. There are two types of so-called traditional IRA and the Roth, this article deals only with the Roth. The Roth IRA is designed for anyone within certain income limits, may invest a portion of their income for retirement. For example, in 2010 if you fill out tax return as single, age is 50 years or less and win up to $ 120,000 gross annual income you may contribute up to $ 5,000 to your Roth IRA retirement account.
Its Disadvantages:
The advantages of a Roth IRA will be reflected at the time of paying taxes because unlike other retirement accounts you do not pay taxes on earnings and also your account will be exempt from paying taxes at the time of retirement. Other advantages of this account are as follows: You can use the capital it has invested before retirement, you can use up to $ 10K between profits and capital to buy your first home or having other types of retirement accounts at the same time and can inherit his Roth IRA.
Let me begin by saying that these articles of how to invest are not for people who want to make millionaires in a day, nor are the sacred secret of the holy deity. These are practical items that will help you understand a little more how the process of investing in general.
He had previously talked about how the stock market works and an introduction to this world. Remember that you should only invest what you lose and your investment performance is related to the risk you take, and that the stock market is where companies’ shares are traded (trade). Now we’ll talk a little more common options a person has to start investing money in the bag.

You will create wealth and value to others
Investors have a “magic bullet” called money. With this “magic bullet”, when used well, firms are created, they build houses, wealth is distributed and enlarged the countries and cities.
Is in you, is your challenge, “motorized productive resources in your environment. Help others fulfill their dream. Teach what you learn and educate people around you in the habit of creating wealth based on the work.
You will feel more safe or comfortable
Of course money is not the only value that exists, much less, we can use it as a purpose for our lives … life would be empty and meaningless if we did.
But at the same time, you can never be entirely happy, and realize yourself as a person if you are insecure or on your destiny, your job, your future.
A healthy and balanced life requires you to feel healthy. If you are unable to secure your own destiny and that of your family, you can not realize yourself as a person.
Do not kid yourself … who only has money is very poor … but who goes hungry, cold or living with a lifetime of economic uncertainty is too.
The true balance required as a person made in all areas of life (including financial).
Go further than you might think
This is a bold statement … but do you know why we do it?
Who developed this program because we did before and because the hundreds of people now share the same they are living and give their testimonies.
Not a single person (and note this: not one) of which has joined the Investor Education Program, considers that it has been indifferent.
