9. Swabeng Thoughts: How young you should really start investing

There is a saying saying that "The Best Time to Invest was Yesterday. The Second Best Time to Invest is Now. And the Worst Time to Invest is Tomorrow"

These were the words I live by when I started my journey towards Financial Success.

I remember when I started working, the only way I knew back how to make my money grow back then is by depositing it in banks. That was during the turn of the century, or should I say the turn of the millennium.

I remember being invited in talks on business only to realize that its more on MLM or what we call Multi-Level Marketing rather than promoting the business itself. It was kinda disappointing after hearing every talk which made me lose more interest during that time. I was in my late teens back then.

I didn't realize time flies so fast and I'll be 40 years old after a few more years. That was close to 15-20 wasted years (well almost) that I should have even attempted to learn Financial Literacy at least once during the turn of the century.

Anyway, if you're still single and just started working, I suggest you start investing NOW. How much you invest shouldn't be an issue to you. While starting, you should also invest in yourself by having yourself insured, getting fit and healthy and try to learn as much as you can. Investing as early as NOW (plus if your in your 20's), it would give you a lot of years to go to maximize your gains.

And if you're already in your 30's and above, start NOW!
