Greetings and happy new week!
After our last article - "Unlock Financial Freedom: 7 Companies to Start Saving and Investing Today!", we received some excellent feedback from our engaged community. One of our readers, [let’s call her Temi], had some insightful questions about starting investments and earning interest.
With her permission, we are thrilled to share her questions and the comprehensive answers we provided:
Question 1: "As a Nigerian earning one hundred thousand naira monthly, what do I need to do to start investing?"
Answer: Congratulations on taking the first step towards financial growth! To begin investing, follow these essential steps:
Create an Emergency Fund
Pay Off High-Interest Debts
Budget and Analyze Your Finances
Set Investment Goals
Diversify Your Investments
Start Small and Consistent
Seek Professional Advice
Question 2: "What percentage of my salary should I invest?"
Answer: The percentage you should invest depends on your financial situation, goals, and risk tolerance. Aim to save and invest at least 20% of your monthly income. As your income grows or when you have a windfall, consider increasing this percentage.
Question 3: "What advice will you give to earn up to 7% or 10% monthly interest on the money invested?"
Answer: While earning 7% or 10% monthly interest is unrealistic and often unsustainable, focus on long-term growth and stability. Consider a diversified investment portfolio, including low-cost index funds, mutual funds, and blue-chip stocks. Avoid investments promising excessively high returns, as they may involve high risks or be scams.
Remember, investing is a journey, and patience and discipline are key. Start early, stay consistent, and align your investments with your financial goals.
