Learn how to Invest

Learn how to invest. Jane had been hearing these words for years from her customers at the restaurant and from watching various news programs. The dictum of learn how to invest was something that rang through her mind more and more as her years with the company accumulated.

Working for The Family

After working for twenty years with the same company, Jane decided the money she had stocked away in the bank was not really increasing in value. Obviously her disciplined savings program had bared fruit as she had accumulated a hefty sum of money over the years but beyond what she had contributed there was very little growth. Her two children were now nine and ten years old and she began to think of opportunities for them that never came to her. She wanted them to go to college and get a degree. She knew that a college degree would help her daughters get opportunities that never came to her just because she did not have that piece of paper more commonly known as a college degree. She decided to take action and learn how to invest so that her money would work for her.

Searching for Alternatives

Jane decided she would go on the internet and find a company or person that could help her learn how to invest. She knew that to learn to invest money in such a way that it worked for her would aid her goal of paying for her children's college education. She came across many articles and found them to be informative and gave her some direction for investing but she still felt unsure about what to do.

Some of the articles would feature grand titles that might say, "Learn how to invest stock". She would read them and would be impressed but then the knowledge would not translate into a methodology that she felt comfortable in employing. After all, there are thousands upon thousands of stocks available to choose from but she was not expert enough to choose which stocks in which to invest.

She also came across articles that were titled "Learn to Invest in Real Estate". She read these articles with interest as she found the concept of owning property and then selling it at a profit to be exciting. As she read more and more about the idea of learn to invest in real estate she began to understand that real estate might not be the avenue she should take to help fund her children's education. Real estate investments can be expensive to get into and can take a considerable amount of time to sell and reap profit.

The Help She Needed

Her educational journey to learn how to invest had given her plenty of information on the process but still did not make her feel comfortable about making her own decision. She decided that it was time to meet with professionals who could help her learn how to invest.

Her first step was to contact the bank where she had been saving money for so long and ask for their help. They were glad to oblige and set up a meeting with one of their investment professionals.

When she sat down to discuss her objectives with the investment professional she told him of her attempts to learn how to invest had been informative but had not given her any confidence in making a decision. He politely asked her if her educational pursuits had given her a reason to learn how to invest in the stock market or other assets. She replied that yes indeed she had been informed of the long term advantages of stock market investments and the return she could anticipate. She also told the advisor that she did not believe she could make those decisions herself.

The advisor then brought up the investment vehicle of mutual funds. He told her how mutual funds invested in a wide range of stocks and that created diversification and a safety net. These funds were managed by professionals and they picked the stocks for the investors in the funds. He suggested a few different funds for her savings and she decided to take action and move her money from the savings account into the mutual funds her advisor recommended.

The Dream That Can Come True

Now her money was working for her and the dream of providing a college education for her children was beginning to become a reality. She knew that there were no guarantees for the investment she had made, but her desire to learn how to invest had led her to the right people and they made good recommendations for moving her savings into an investment vehicle that made the dream much more realizable.
