Investing: money work for money

Here are the 7 reasons why you should invest:

  1. You will enjoy additional income as passive income.
    Usually you exchange your time with money. At your specific level, the more time spent to work, the more money you earn. With passive income, your money works for you. Your effort (read: time) is not proportional with the income.
  2. The pension from government will never be enough and you don’t want miserable retirement.
    Remember the life expectancy is increasing due to advancement in health technology, population is exploding, hence no government will be able to fund all pensioner.
  3. You make sure that your family and all the love ones will never ever be struggling ever again financially.
  4. You may sack your boss. You don’t need any job anymore.
    If you still work, that’s because you want it, not because you need to
  5. You can make a lot of traveling and holiday around the world whenever you want.
  6. You can help your favorite charity or even start your own charity and make a significant contribution to community.
    Work up your legacy in whatever your cause is…
  7. Live the lifestyle beyond your imagination
