Despite the growing popularity of investing, not everyone is suited to manage his or her own financial market investments, it is not a matter of pride if you are able to do it or a matter of shame if you are not able to do it well.
The idea is to just let your savings compound at rates that help you maintain your purchasing power over the years. Whether you do it through your own picking skills or hire a fund manager, does not make a difference. The only condition is that your money must be handled well. Seeking help is always a good idea. And accepting that you may not be capable enough to manage things on your own is even better.
Your investments don’t know you own them. And, whatever those people who entice you to get rich through investing may promise you, please don’t see investing in stocks as a way to get rich. Such ideas are often masked by survivorship bias, which is a logical error of concentrating only on people or things that “survived” some process and inadvertently overlooking those that did not. So, taking inspiration from other investors who have made good money from “100-to-1 stocks” and ignoring others who followed similar processes but ended up with disasters can lead you to false conclusions about your own potential as an investor and stock picker.
Look at investing as a way to keep you rich i.e., help you grow your money into a financial asset. Invest in business to make you rich, surplus amount must be invested wisely so that one will be able to get his second income.
