So the sky is falling and the people of the world are ransacking through the streets. Wouldn’t you like to be the one watching all the Malay from the comfort and security of your penthouse suite?

The primary reason most people start investing is for unwavering financial security in times of economic chaos.

Rich Vs Wealthy

One of the primary distinctions between the rich and the wealthy is the permanent, stable, source of income which can be transferred between the generations. While it is relatively easy to amass riches during your lifetime, you must develop steady investments in order to be truly wealthy.

Increasing Cost of Living

We’ve all heard about the “forever stamp” which guarantees a fixed rate on postage, but few other commodities remain at the same price for very long. The increasing cost of gas, groceries, and the general instability of the current economy should help to  motivate your desire to invest. Jobs come and go, but a good investment portfolio can be your financial shelter against  chaotic economic storms.

The Great Depression

Wall-Street has been known to take nose dives, so what exactly should you invest in? Commodities that people can’t live without like water, waste-management, and other blue-chip typed investments are the most guaranteed way to secure a fortune for your future.

Free Money

The primary motivation for beefing up your investment portfolio is the fact that the more money you get, the more the government will pay you in interest. Basically, banking and government institutions need cash just as much as everyone else and will pay wealthy people who grant them access to their funds. The bank is essentially using your money until you request it, so they’ll pay you lots in interest as a motivator not to take your money out.
 
Overall, investing is more than rich old people hoarding money, it’s about guaranteeing a future free from the economic turmoil of life.
