The key is budgeting, managing, and accounting. Financial health is a continuous cycle that involves earning, saving, and multiplying money.
The basics of investing are summarized in 4 simple steps:
Step 1: Spend less than you earn;
Step 2: Save and invest the rest;
Step 3: Build a diversified portfolio;
Step 4: Be patient.
These steps are easy, but most of the investors still ignore them.
Current capital: Intended to provide for the current needs of the person. It is important to balance the income and expenditure parts.
Capital reserve: Serves to provide in case of unforeseen situations such as job loss or illness.
Investing capital: Long-term investments intended to ensure a comfortable retirement.
There is an additional 5th step: education and constant learning which is the key to success in the changing world of investing.
Financial strategies and advice depending on the era and context. Old methods, formulas, and ratios that were effective in the past may not work today. Investors must be prepared to change and adapt as the economic and financial environment is constantly changing.
To understand finance and investing, it is helpful to study different areas of knowledge such as psychology, biology, and math. The best sources of information about finance and investing may not always be financial books. A variety of readings can provide a better overview and understanding of the situation.
Investors should be alert, analyze various sources of information, and be prepared for change. Don't trust, verify.
