How to speed up your wealth plans (in 3 steps)

Written on :

I have a thing for cars. I'm not the passionate, die-hard know-every-car-model type of fan but I appreciate a nice-looking car when I see one. A car signifies movement. There's no point buying a car and leaving it parked in a garage. The car's electrical system is always power-hungry and will drain the car batteries like a vampire if you don't put it to use. It was created to move. A car is a tool. In simple terms, they help you get from point A to point B. Need to buy a few groceries at the local store? You get in your car and drive.  Need to visit a friend? You get in your car or get an Uber to take you to your destination You also get to make car choices for every season of your life. In your twenties, you may decide to stick to a nice-looking, functional and easy-maintenance car. You're building a career so you don't want to spend your time and money at service centers. A family SUV four-wheel drive, environmentally-friendly and plush-looking on the inside or an exotic elite car with a charismatic name such as discovery are options for a different season of life. To be honest, there are really no rules. You are free to make the choices that align with your objective; status, re-sale value or function. Think about investing this way. You gain momentum when you make a decision to put your money to work. Cash is a tool so you put it to work to help you get from point A to point B. You have multiple investment 'vehicles' to select from as you evolve through your seasons in life.
