1. How do you think most of the people got rich?
Most of the people became rich by investing from their young age. Do you think we need huge money for investment? Not at all!
The best example is starting an equity mutual fund SIP with as little as Rs 500 per month. Most mutual funds have a minimum lump sum investment of just Rs 5,000.
That’s the good start for the wise investor!
2. Save now, Spend Later!
In this fast-growing economy, we tend to spend more. Our society indirectly forces us to spend money on unnecessary things more. Do you want to be the same still? Let’s be Unique!
“If you want to have a better performance than the crowd, you must do things differently than the crowd,” said John Templeton.
To be an investor, we need money. To have money we need to save rather than spend. This advice is the most obvious one given out by top business professionals. Hence without any troubles, to be a successful investor we must do something that nobody in the world wants you to do: save some of your money instead of spending it.
