Do you want to know how to make money without lifting a brush or clipper? Without hoisting pups onto a grooming table? Without getting saturated every time a dog shakes in the bathtub? Don’t get us wrong. We LOVE grooming as much as you do. However, if you’re going to work your duff off – let’s get some of those hard earn bucks working FOR YOU without you having to lift a finger!
We’re talking about investing. Investing for your future. The day you DON’T want to be locked to your grooming table! Don’t run off on us… we want to help you turn your cash into more cash! Sensible investing can make that happen for you. So many of us do NOT have a good working knowledge of this vital subject. Just like anything else, if we do not understand it, most of us are afraid of it. The more you know, the less fearful you become.
How does compound interest work? How can it be a massive benefit to you, or can it hold you back from getting out of debt? Did you know there is a basic formula to figure out how much you can make – or lose – with compound interest? What the heck it the difference between a bear and a bull financial market? And… if you are going to jump into the financial market – WHEN should you do it?
In this lesson, we talk about some of these terms and what they can mean for YOU. Our goal is to help you put some parentheses around what key investment terms mean so you can understand it a little bit better. It’s essential for you to realize: you are investing in YOUR tomorrow – YOUR future. In our discussion, we are looking at the long game – not the short game. To that end, it’s critical to understand the words and terms associated with whatever endeavor you are in. If you do not understand the terms used to describe a well-bred dog, you’ll never be able to perfect your grooms to the highest levels. Understanding basic investing terms is no different.
