3 Reasons Why You Should Start Investing Now [Video]

When is the best time to start investing? Remember how last week we talked about how time is more important than money? When it comes to investing, that’s true in a very literal way.

A lot of people never start investing because they’re afraid they’re going to lose money. And yes, it’s true that you can lose money if you’re not careful. But it’s also true that if you don’t invest at all, you’ll definitely lose money.

What?!

Blame inflation. Inflation means that on average, our money is worth about three percent less every year. Say you put 100 dollars under your mattress and take it out 30 years from now. Technically, you still have a hundred dollars, but that money will only buy 40% of what it can buy now. It’s lost 60% of its value. In fact, it’s losing just a little bit of its value every single day.

Believe it or not, the way to win is to start investing now.
Here are three reasons why you should start investing now.
