What is – the “other” side of investing?
Consider this, when you set aside your money, be it in a savings account, a CD, a T-bill, etc., these are passive investments. Every day, whether your are working, playing, relaxing or asleep, these investments vehicles are earning you a little bit of interest and/or dividends. So without having to do anything else, money is being deposited into your account each and every day. A true perpetual "money machine"!
However, when people become dissatisfied with their return on these passive investments, they look for alternative investment ideas such as stocks, bonds and real estate, but these alternatives come with an increased level of risk.
So this raises some questions? Are there investment opportunities available that can generate a higher current rate of return while still having some growth possibilities? Can we get paid while we wait? Is there also a way to reasonably limit the downside?
Income Planner considers these questions and more and provides the answers you are looking for.
When it comes to investing there are “Growth” investments and there are “Income” investments.
