WHAT IS INVESTING?
It is the act of putting (money) into financial schemes, shares, property, or a commercial venture with the expectation of achieving a profit.
We are in a world where the government passes outlaws and the laws are carried out without thinking about the masses and the effect it will have on them.
The government has made a law that at a certain age, every worker in the government is to retire whether you have what it takes to survive or not.
We also know that 90% of the masses are all government workers in Nigeria where I come from and one of the devastating parts is that, retirement meets those workers even when they are not ready for retirement.
Most of even after retirement after working, they have nothing to show for their hard labor. Most of them retire with sickness and have no funds or money to take care of their health after retirement.
They end up been a liability and heaping lots of debts for their family because of these situations because they had no investment or saving to fall back on after retirement.
Many families have either relocated back to their villages because of failure to plan or invest while they were working and earning money while many families have resorted to begging in the street since they have no source to survive on.
As the adage goes, "Save for the raining days". Imagine being a man who was able to eat two to three square meals while working and after retirement can't even gather one square meal for his family, it is a devastating situation.
Although it may seem hard at the beginning, adjust our lifestyles, planning and disciplining oneself can help one in investing.
This isn't only for the government workers but for all in the crypto/blockchain world. I know to many of us, this is our only source of income but it is best that while the days are shinning, we shouldn't just gather our profits and put them into food and clothing but we should try as much as possible to invest them which is the STAKING business for the raining days.
For sure, there will come days we will be so busy to make content/engagement like we surely do but what will keep us high and steady is our investment.
With the rate at which the economy is taking a U turn, it is advisable that everyone has an investment they fall on after their retirement because for sure, no one can predict how the economy will look like.
One goof thing about investment is their is always a profit no matter the risk involved. One of the ways one can invest is into the crypto world, invest into shares, stock market, invest in Forex, invest into business (commodities), savings accounts, invest in Real Estate Investment Trust. This may take time but one ting for sure is that they will always be a solid returns when the time comes for the profit.
There are other great investing platforms we can invest into to help us during our raining days. All you have to do is invest into any one of your choice you feel is favorable to you and your area of location and watch your investment grow for you.
