Introduction to Investing (Part 2)

Why Do People Not Invest?

There are two main reasons why people don’t want to invest. Can you think of them? One I’ve already sort of discussed, and that is that they don’t know enough about investing. I mentioned this earlier when I was talking about risk. People don’t feel like they have enough knowledge about investing to do it safely, and so they don’t want to risk their money. I hope to solve this problem in this website by giving you the information you need to confidently invest.

The other reason is that they don’t have enough money to invest. This is the point that I want to focus my website on. When people are struggling to survive, investing is probably the last thing on their minds. However, there are ways to invest money, even when cash is low, and I will definitely cover those in later articles.

Conclusion

This article was written to help you dip your toes into the ocean that is investing. Hopefully I’ve piqued your interest a little bit and given you a glimpse of what it really is like. Investing may seem like a magical world not designed for regular people like you and me to enter. However, in reality, it is not as complex as it seems. It is entirely possible to learn and master the basics, which are really the most important things that will make you money.
