My biggest hurdle/obstacle/annoyance with building my investment portfolio isn’t bills and it isn’t the economy. It’s not other people. It’s not how little I make. It’s more basic than any of those: it’s procrastination.
Yeah, the one thing that has prevented me from having tons of dollars in the bank or invested is simply the fact that I put it off until “later”. We all do it! I found a great post about procrastinating and how to stop. It’s simple, actually.
But from an investment standpoint, think about all the money you’ve lost out on because you didn’t start sooner. So start NOW! Even $5 per week MATTERS and will matter a huge amount in just a decade.
So let’s say you stop procrastinating and you decide that right NOW you will set up a Sharebuilder or ING Direct account, and fund it automatically with $5 per week. Basically, that’s $2600. With compound interest (4%) it would equal more than $3100. The possibilities with investing in stock could be even better.
So get started today. It’s worth it!
