Waiting to invest feels safer... but it's costing you massively.
Your cash is losing 2-3% per year while you wait.
It may not seem like much, but when you zoom out... imagine you had $100,000 in 1960. The same $100,000 today would need to be over $1,000,000 to have the same purchasing power as it did in 1960.
A downturn is not the enemy, but an opportunity.
Seasoned investors understand that when the market drops, they adapt, seek opportunities, and increase profits. When you grasp this, it becomes easier to see the essence of a downturn: opportunity. Most people fail to see opportunities during market slumps because they are caught in fear.
Compound interest is not just about money.
Single-mindedly chasing "big returns," pursuing headlines of stocks soaring 200% overnight, without realizing that by the time the hype arrives, it’s often too late. They want quick profits, yet overlook the most powerful force in investing: compound interest.
A steady 10% annual return may sound slow at first, but decades later, depending on your investment amount, it can easily grow into millions.
Compound interest always starts off slow, but over time, it becomes increasingly powerful. Warren Buffett is a great example: 98% of his $160 billion fortune was accumulated after he turned 65.
Regret is the most expensive mistake.
Staying in your comfort zone is easier than facing the learning curve. But the cost of waiting could be the most expensive financial mistake you might make. Each day you delay, you miss out on the compounding effect of wealth accumulation over time; the best time to start was yesterday. The second best time is now.
