investing... investing can be both an enjoyable and profitable hobby. only 5-10% people really have a grip on their finances and know where they are headed in the future. please take the time to acquaint yourself with how investing prudently now can save you some worry and time in the future. here are some ideas to acquaint yourself with: 19% guaranteed return!! yes, it is possible and for many they don't even realize it. pay off your credit cards! the money you save will be available for other things. look at your last year end statement and see what the finance charges were for your favorite credit cards. now write that number on a piece of paper and make a list of things you could do with it....interesting huh? compound returns if you have $100 in the bank and earn 10%, (yeah, right!) at the end of the year you will have $110. at the end of two years you'll have $121. at the end of three years you'll have $133.10. i think you see the pattern. each year the money will grow in an exponential rate. a nifty rule-of-thumb is called the "rule of 72". if you take the number 72 and devide it by the interest rate you will see how many years it will take to double your money. in the paragraph above we used 10% as the interest rate, so 72/10 = 7.2 years for the original $100 to double to $200. Here is a good example to think about...if you have kids then this will show you how valuable compound returns can be. An investment of $1500 a year for 18 years, ages 1 to 18, growing at 7% a year (after taxes), equals $1.1 million by the time the child is 66. and this is without saving another dime after the age of 18. educate yourself start educating yourself on various options that you have to achieve your goals.
