One of the truths that people are reluctant to admit is that investment is boring. Sometimes it takes a special kind of understanding and patience to actually invest because a lot of things are happening around you and for you not to participate just because you’re investing is one of the most difficult things to do in life especially in a world where it is easy to change your narrative with just an advertisement or with just a social media post.

If you’ve been investing for quite some time, you will understand what I’m trying to say there is a lot of pressure online because for you to constantly invest, you must be careful and strategic about the kind of environment you want to live in, how the pressure comes is how much time you spend on your phone. This is where you find it difficult to invest long-term and why the youth of our generation don’t want to invest. They are actually going in for something else which is trading because they believe that investment is not for them.

We can all agree that nobody truly wants Investment, but when you look at the benefits and the assurance and the security it gives you at the end of your life, you are probably going to choose to invest, but a lot of people don’t really buy the idea of waiting for a long time that is why some people come up with an idea of selling trading as an investment. They make a lot of people go into trading by making them believe that they are actually investing it’s just a way to trick them into trading with them, but that’s not actually an investment it is trading.

I know a lot of people want to get rich quick and we want to make millions overnight. the idea of doing something for a long time before you see reward it’s a crazy thing and in the world we are nothing is guaranteed that you might even die tomorrow makes it even more crazier, and why a lot of people choose not to invest and go for trading and things that guarantee to multiply their money overnight or get Rich quick overnight, which doesn’t always end well.

The choice

at the end of the day, the choice is always ours to make, and you have to choose what is best for you. You have to know that when you go into trading you’re more likely to lose all your money and by the time you are 50 years of age or 60 years of age, you might not have anything to fall back on which forces you to work till you die. It will be worse if you don’t have any property that you can sell at the end of your days and that is why most people choose to invest, but the reality is that investment is boring and you have to accept that part of Investment so that you can move forward.

Anything that comes with getting rich overnight is not an investment. It’s a risk and you must be willing to accept the outcome. That’s how life works the greater the risk the greater the money. Investment comes with less risk and security. The choice is always ours to make but I strongly recommend investment because it is always easy. You just have to build yourself and go into the habit immediately you mastered the habit of investing and you get better at it and before you know it, you are financially free.
