Trade Away to Prepare for the Rainy Day

By Rick Amorey

It is so difficult to think of the future, especially when you are bothered by the spending of the past. Why think of putting more money into your savings when you are still beset by your student loan? How can you think of your retirement years if you have to worry about current mortgages?

The recession is in full swing this year, and this looming financial problem will make you think twice before investing for your future. What if the total amount you have from ten years of storing extra income devalues by more than 50% before month's end? Sadly, this is a very likely scenario these days.

It is thus very tempting to live for the moment, rather than think ahead and invest. It's easier to think of this month's bills, or even this year's financial situation, instead of worry about what may happen in the years or even decades to come. I don't blame them for thinking this way, but I also think that this is not the most responsible way of thinking.

One of the unfortunate truths of the human condition is the fact that we all get old eventually. And when your body has wrinkled and your vision weaker than it used to be, you just wouldn?t be able to work as efficiently as you did in your younger years. By then, the best course of action would be to rely on your investments.

Obviously, you can't do that if all your money is stored in simple savings accounts with negligible interest rates. So think of investing as saving up for that rainy day; it may seem like it's so far away, but that doesn't mean that it does not matter at present. Save up, invest, and make wise decisions. Who knows? If you do it well, then you may have the capacity to retire earlier than expected. - 23199
