Where Do the Wealthy Invest Their Money?

 

Investment strategies are as varied as the people who use them. Some people swear by a contrarian investment strategy, while others stick to the safety of federal bonds. But one universal habit of rich people is investing.

The rich set aside part of their income to invest, even during financially hard times. They save early and often, and never break the habit. While different millionaires may choose to invest in different ways, here are some of the most common ways the wealthy invest their money.

1.Physical Goods

A common theme is that millionaires own stuff. They invest in tangible assets like real estate and land. Those tangible goods are outside of the stock market, so even if there is a crash, recession, or depression, the rich still have something that can generate wealth.

2. Diversification

The rich diversify. It can be tempting to jump on the next new thing and invest all you have into one company or field, but that comes with extremely high risk. If the company succeeds, so does your investment. But if it fails, so do you. That all-or-nothing thinking isn’t safe for your money, and you could end up losing everything.

Diversification means the rich invest their money in multiple locations at the same time. If one investment fails or falls, they still have the success of other investments to fall back on.

3. Long Term Plans

The rich do not buy into the short-term roller coaster of the stock market. Instead, they invest in companies’ long-term success. If they invest, they plan to keep that investment for years. This requires research and nerves of steel. Millionaires have a long term plan and goal they are trying to hit, and even if a stock starts to succeed, they usually hold onto it.

WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE SET GOALS?

You might be thinking right now, "Well, this all sounds so inspiraional, but surely just setting a goal doesn't make it happen." I couldn't agree with you more. All goal setting must be immediately followed by both the development of a plan, and massive and consistent action toward its fulfillment. You  already have this power to act. If you haven't been able to summon it, it's merely because you have failed to set goals that inspire you.  What's holding you back? Surely you've been exposed to the power of goal setting before. But do you have a list of clearly defined goals for the results you will absolutely produce in your life mentally, emotionally,physically, spiritually, and financially? What has stopped you? For many it's the unconscious fear of disappointment. Some people have set goals in the past and failed to achieve them and, as a result of their disappointment and their fear of future pain, they stop setting goals. They don't ...

Questions Are The Answer.............

They needed no reason. They came simply because he was of  Jewish descent. The Nazis stormed into his home, arresting him and his entire family. Soon they were herded like cattle, packed into a train, and then sent to a death camp n Krakow. His most disturbing nightmares could never have prepared him for seeing his family shot before his very eyes. How could he live through the horror of seeing his child's clothing on another because his son was now dead as the result of a "shower"? Somehow he continued. One day he looked at the nightmare around him and confronted an inescapable truth: if he stayed there even one more day, he would surely die. He made a decision that he must escape and that escape must happen immediately! He knew not how, he simply knew he must. For weeks he'd asked the other prisoners, "How can we escape this horrible place?" The answers he received seemed always to be the same. "Don't be a fool," they said, "the...

"This, too, shall pass,"

Dr. Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania did an intensive research on what creates learned helplessness. In his book Learned Optimism he reports on three specific patterns of beliefs that cause us to feel helpless and can destroy virtually every aspect of our lives. He calls these three categories permanence, pervasiveness, and personal. Many of our country's greatest achievers have succeeded in spite of running into huge problems and barriers. The difference between them and those who give up revolves around their beliefs about the permanence, or lack thereof, of their problems.  Achievers rarely, if ever, see a  problem as permanent, while those who fail, see even the smallest problems as permanent. Once you adopt the belief that there's nothing you can do to change something, simply because nothing you've  done up until now has changed it, you start to take a pernicious poison into your system. No matter what happens in your life, you've got ...
