The 4 Best ASSETS to INVEST in.. South Africa!!! 💯🤑
When it comes to assets (Investments that put money in your pocket), you have many choices. What you invest in is a personal decision, but in order to make an educated decision, you need an understanding of all the asset classes.
Each asset class has Pros and Cons and requires different levels of time, effort, and education. Eventually, you’ll want to invest in all of the asset classes to achieve true diversification. But to help you get started, here are some of the most popular asset classes and what you should consider when making your investment decision.
The Best 4 Investment Classes
* Paper Assets
- Take a poll of where the average investor puts his or her money and you’ll find that most people invest in paper assets. Paper assets are investments like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Retirement accounts where you can invest in stock options, stock futures, and foreign exchanges are another variation
* Commodities
- Commodities include metals (gold, silver, copper, etc.), food (grains, corn, coffee, sugar, etc.), and raw materials (oil, gas, cotton, etc.). Commodities are generally a capital gains, or loss, investment, and you can buy future contracts of any commodity through the future exchanges. If you are new to commodities, start small and build your financial education.
* Businesses
- You can invest in your own business or someone else’s private business or company. The whole point is to generate a return back to you, the business and your investors and/or lender. Just be sure to do your due diligence and analyse the project, the partners, the financing, and the business and management team before making a business investment.
* Real Estate
- Real estate investments either provide cash flow from rental properties or capital gains from buying and selling (flipping) a property. As an investor, you can choose from four different types of property: residential, industrial, commercial, and undeveloped land. When choosing one of these investment vehicles, you should be knowledgeable about the local real estate market, general economic forecasts, and tax realities.
Which path is Better? There is no Better; there is only the path which is best suited for you. If you are a risk taker, competitive and find a passion in business, you may want to look into starting your own company. If you like to play it safe, reduce stress in your life, and find passion in personal endeavours, employment may be your best option. I know I was not born a natural Entrepreneur. I had to be trained. For me, it was not an easy process. There was a lot I had to unlearn before I could begin to understand what it is to be an Entrepreneur. Now here is the difference between Employee and an Entrepreneur. It’s called Security and freedom, and they are not the same . . . in fact they are opposites. The more security you seek, the less freedom you have. The people with the most security are in “Jail”. That is why it is called maximum security. If you want freedom you need to let go of security. “Employees desire Security” and “Entrepreneurs seek freedom.” So the question is, can anyone become an Entrepreneur? Our answer is, Yes. It begins with a change in philosophy. It begins with a desire for more “Freedom than Security.”
Listen my dear South Africans... because you don't have the Education, Time, Money, Experience does not mean you are unable to start Investing in your Financial Independence starting right now. If you're the kind of Person who has No Guts, you just give up every time Life pushes You. If you're that kind of Person, you'll Live all your Life playing it Safe, doing the Right things, Saving yourself for some event that never Happens. Then, you Die a boring Old Man. You'll have lots of Friends who really like You because You were such a Nice hard-working Guy. You spent a Life playing it Safe, doing the Right things. But the Truth is, You let Life push you into Submission. Deep down You were Terrified of taking Risks. You really wanted to Win, but the Fear of Losing was Greater than the Excitement of Winning. Deep Inside, You and only You will know You didn't Go for it. You chose to Play it Safe."
