There are so many reasons why you may want to invest your money, and can all depend on your current circumstances, where you want to be in the future, or experiences in the past shaping your motivation.
Below are our top ten reasons why you should get your money working for you, and how investing can get you to
1: Improved lifestyle
Working 9-5, 5 days a week, at a particular wage, will give you a set amount of income, and with that a set amount of disposable cash. Investing your money on the other hand can lead to passive income (cash coming in that isn’t directly from a wage as a result of the hours you work).
This means that you may be able to work less hours (or not at all), or continue working but have higher amounts of disposable income to spend on doing things you enjoy. Choosing investments that offer higher ROI or faster returns, such as dual key homes, might be one smart strategy to look into.
2: A bigger home or better area
Having more income coming into your bank account means that it may be possible to upgrade to a larger home, a more modern home, or move to a better suburb closer to good schools or desirable infrastructure.
Choosing an investment property that offers two rental income streams but low ongoing costs could mean your investment pays itself off faster, and offers you higher passive income sooner, or could even be cashflow positive in the short term and long term such as our dual occupancy homes.
3: Travel more
Being able to get on a plane and see new places, experience new things, and understand a different way of life can really open your eyes and make you more grateful for what you have, or to grow as a person.
On the other hand, maybe you just want to get away from it all and relax, be pampered, drink cocktails by the pool. If you work hard, taking regular breaks to recharge are so important, allowing you to come back with the energy you need to keep going.
4: Buy a boat, caravan, or holiday home
Being able to get away for a weekend, or mini vacation can help battle overwhelm or burnout in between taking bigger and longer holidays that might be once or twice a year.
Think of having a boat you can take out and go fishing, or a caravan that you can get in and go and see a new location without all the fuss of setting up tents and air mattresses, or even a holiday home that you can rent out to generate more income but also enjoy yourself from time to time.
5: Education
Whatever it is that you do, chances are that there are courses you could take to up-skill. You don’t get to be the best at what you do by sticking with what you know. Instead, you get ahead of the competition by continually learning, improving, and developing.
Who knows- maybe the course you enrol yourself in gets you more knowledge and insight into the world of investment? If you aren’t quite there yet, our team of experts can help make purchasing your first investment property easier than you think.
6: Your children’s future
Being able to send your children to good schools, and help them pay for tertiary education can give them the best start at life and becoming successful financially themselves. A good school will offer more than that however- ideally it will shape them into good people, who are valuable to society, and know their own worth and know how to harness their innate talents.
7: Your older years
Making sure that you aren’t burdening your children or grandchildren with the expense that comes with medical or support care when you become less independent in your older years is often a big motivator for investors.
Also being able to choose your own care facility that meets your requirements and where you will actually enjoy being is made possible when you have the bank balance to support your choice. The more income streams, the greater your quality of life could be.
8: Helping others
A higher disposable income means you can donate to charity, invest in charitable causes, or start your own foundation helping others in need. The less your finances are all tied up in paying bills and your own survival the more you have to give to others.
The sooner you get to a point where your investments have paid themselves off and are now just generating income, the sooner you can start channeling that into helping others.
9: Help your children
Investing your money means you will have more resources to help your children get ahead in life- whether this is buying their own home, starting their own businesses, getting a safe car without crippling interest to pay off, or starting to invest themselves.
10: Teach others
Chances are that over your lifetime you have acquired some pretty useful skills and knowledge. Having invested your money, you now have the freedom to spend your time teaching others. Maybe you write a book, run courses, speak at local events, or offer one on one mentoring.
Helping someone else cut through all the ineffective ways to do things and get to the tried and true methods based on years of experience could be something you could offer that would be absolutely invaluable.
