Hearing testimonies from different sources, I can only conclude that "You don’t need to be rich to invest, but you need to invest to be rich." Riches aside, investment can increase your financial freedom, but the problem with most people is procrastination, they want this BIG capital to invest, but it is not like that.
From real estate, stocks to crypto, we have seen people buying their assets that were deem worthless, but suddenly became their source of wealth. I remember someone who couldn't afford a land at the city center but wanted to invest. He bought it at a rural area where he could buy over 1 acre. Not long after, the government decided to build a Federal university in that locality. Right now, a plot of land there can buy a plot of land in the city center that he couldn't afford, that is the power of investing.
It mustn't be convenient, it mustn't be in thousands of dollars, a little that is being consistent about and carefully thought through could make that wealth. Start investing today.
Even if we all turn investors we can't all be rich unfortunately, some people will lose while few will win, I am sorry to say but this is just a hard truth that many don't want to believe, Warren buffet isn't the only investor in his old age that's been investing for the past years, many are just like him and they failed.
If it's this easy to figure out the world everyone will be in the same winning place, but look around you, how many businesses you see? I believe they are many, but how many are really surviving? Because they are successful? The number isn't much I bet.
That's because there are things we don't know about this world, many people are still longing for things that they will never see till their death because it's not written in their book of life that they will have such things.
Crazy as it may sound, it's the painful truth.
