Long time readers of Passive-Income-Pursuit know just how far JC and his wife have come in their journey toward financial independence. They took a risk and that risk has really paid off for them. It has taken hard work and fiscal restraint, but they have made tremendous progress. If you are a new reader of Passive-Income-Pursuit, you may be wondering what risk I'm talking about. I'm talking about saving and investing of course, and today I am going to discuss taking risks.
I believe saving and investing is hard work, a risk, and involves a certain level of trust.
Hard work because you have to be diligent to save your money instead of spending it. It's far easier to spend every cent you make. Don't believe me? Look no further than a child's instant gratification upon receiving an allowance. If we let ourselves, we're all just big kids in a toy store.
A Risk because your investment could lose money. If it does decline in value you will be out that money and not have the toy (the tech gadget, new car, or fancy clothes you would have otherwise bought) to console you in your loss. That would be sad!
