“Where do I find the money to invest?”

Many people struggle with this very basic issue. Like any journey the one to becoming an investor starts from where you are. And it starts now. The best time to start a journey to a better financial situation is now. Begin by checking with yourself and your employer.

Find money to invest - Top 4 sources of investing funds

1. Get rid of debt
2. Employer contribution
3. Cost control
4. Saving program

Get rid of bad debt - pay yourself 15% - 20%!

This is the 1st of the top 4 ways to find money to invest. Think of any credit card debt as you directly paying investors in the finance company. Thank you very much! But stop it! That is a very pricey luxury that neither you or anyone else can afford. I don’t advocate cutting up your credit card but you must make it work for you.

For your benefit treat paying off credit card debt like finding a sure thing investment. The "investment" pays 15% to 20+%! Guaranteed! Move that spectacular rate of return directly into your own pocket by paying it off. Make it your top financial priority to put that money into your own pocket by taking it away from the bank's profits!

Employer contribution

This is the 2nd of top 4 ways to find money to invest. Ask if your employer offers an investment or retirement plan. An employer sponsored plan can get you into a professionally managed fund. Because the financial management companies want the business, most company group plans accept small contributions. Many can start with $100.

Typical plans take authorized deductions from your pay or withdraw either monthly or quarterly contributions from saving or checking accounts. Some employers offer matching plans. Their contributions in such plans will match yours. That is free money! Take it!

Cost control

This is the 3rd of top 4 ways to find money to invest. Cost control ranks among the most basic business principles. It also applies personally. Live within your means to get costs under strict control and start building your financial security by putting away savings. Cost cutting works. Look critically at absolutely every dollar you spend. Make choices. Choose to invest in yourself and your future.

A good way to start is by detailed tracking every expenditure. This is for your own use and benefit. Only you need know the numbers.

Tracking yourself for two weeks will be eye-opening! We easily let money melt away in casual spending that can quickly add up to significant amounts of easily avoidable spending. Divert that spending to your future financial security. Review you spending and reset you priorities so saving goes to the top of the list.

Saving program

This is the 4th of top 4 ways to find money to invest. Saving is an essential part of your wealth building thinking. If you want wealth or just reasonable financial security, you must start by paying yourself first. Take 10% or if you can 20%, of each paycheck and put it aside. Begin by building an emergency fund able to pay 6 months of bills. Set that amount aside in an accessible savings account. Touch it only in a genuine emergency. Concert tickets, vacations or new shoes never qualify!

Think of your emergency savings as your Golden Bridge Fund! It is an important part of your journey to the land of financial security. The Golden Bridge takes you from paycheck to paycheck living to a place of comfort and options which you in control of your future.
