Make Your Money Work For You

My grandfather died eight years ago, in fact, the anniversary of his death was just 11 days ago. I still miss him.

Before he died he was trying to teach me all about the stock market, long and short-term trading, and the advantages to having a very diverse portfolio. I never really “caught the fever” so to speak, because it was all Greek to me.

He was a great person and a very smart man, I wish now that I would have listened to him. I wish I would have paid attention and actually allowed him to mentor me when it came to the market. There are so many different types of investments to make, different ways you can trade stocks, like position trading, and so many different things to keep your eye on, I don’t know if I will ever catch on, but I am trying.

I realize now, more than eight years later, the importance of making your money work for you, whether you invest it all for the long term, or whether you want to get into swing trading stocks.

He used to tell me that once I got my money working for me, I’d do okay. Now pardon me while I go do the dishes. My money says it can’t do that yet either.
