Investing My Money
July 15th, 2008 by alexleeIn the early part of our relationship my husband and I never had a lot of money. Now that we have more money, and are able to pay our bills on time and save a little on the side, I am beginning to think about investing my money. This is not something that is easy for me. Because I have never had a lot of money, I have a hard time letting go of it. Though I realized that investing is meant to make more money, I’m always afraid that I’m going to lose my money. I think this is a pretty common fear, but I think I am more fearful than most.
When it comes to investing my money, the only person I trust his myself. I know that in order to retire comfortably I’m going to have to let go of this and trust someone else. It scares me to think of someone else investing my money. I know whoever we choose will have my best interests at heart because when I make money they will make money. This thought does not make it any easier for me to go with someone else though. Right now, we have some money invested in a 401(k). My husband doesn’t seem to be as uptight about as I am, but I realize that this is our future that I’m talking about here. More on Investing My Money.
