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.
On one hand you are right but on the other hand you are not right at all. As you said you do not need to be rich to invest but you need to invest to become rich. If you think about it a little deeper you will understand that if you do not need to be rich to invest then how will you invest like a person who does not have any money but has a great desire to invest then how will he invest here he has to dream because he does not have any money. Of course there must be a source of money if there is a source of money then investment can be made otherwise you cannot become rich by investing.
In fact, that person is very lucky because the land he bought in the village has become very expensive because he did not know that a federal university would be built near his land. Moreover, the landowner also did not know that a federal university would be built near his land. If he had known, then that person would never have sold the land to him. However, such incidents are heard from time to time because sometimes it is heard that after buying land in a very remote area, the importance of that land increases a lot because it is seen that either a university is built there, or a school or college is built, or a good highway or road is built, etc. As a result, the price of the land increases many times, but in the present era this is also a very good investment method because in the present era people are increasing but land is not increasing. There will come a time when it will become very difficult to get land in this world, even if people have a lot of money, they will not be able to buy land.
