Worrying about Future Finances

By Rick Amorey

Many of you may find my story to be a familiar one. Let me start: When I began to realize that my parents could not afford to get me to a good university, I knew I had to push forward on my own. So what did I do? Why, I did the logical thing, of course; I applied for a student loan so that I can secure my future. I got accepted, and save for a few bumps, my college life went pretty okay.

After that, I started life as an employee so that I can pay off the said student loan. My paycheck was just about enough to support that as well as the costs of living alone; rent, food, and other stuff like that. But there was a little extra for me to start saving up, little by little. My future was set for the moment, at least.

Let's move on to my present story. I now have a loving fianc?, and we're thinking of applying for a housing loan so that we can raise a family right. My student loan has since been paid off, after all. My current rent no longer affects me as much, either, due to my higher pay. Life has been good, but I can?t help but worry that it will not last.

Life has gotten harder and harder because of the recession, but we are at least aware that there is a problem now. With the Americans' combined efforts, I believe that we can get out of this plight in the next ten years at most. In the meantime, I find myself thinking about what I usually do: My future.

It thus isn't any surprise at all that I am looking at investing my savings into something worthwhile. But which investment exactly is that? And should I be worried at the financial state that the country is in now, and wait for it to settle down before I invest? There are many options; from bonds to stocks to individual businesses, and each of them have perks and risks. - 23199
