How do you get Money to Invest?

There are a couple different ways to invest more money.  You want to invest more money because you know you will make more money and that is a great way to think.  One way is to buy stock on margin.  This means you are borrowing someone else’s money to add to yours in order to make more money.

Buying on margin isn’t exactly getting unsecured loans .  An unsecured loan is where there is something for collatoral like a house or car, but with this type of borrowing, your money is collatoral.  Some people probably do well with this, but you are taking a big chance that you will lose more than you invest.  Make sure you fully understand margin before you use it.

If that doesn’t appeal to you, you can always invest more of your own money.  There are plenty of ways to do this.  Every time you spend money think if you would rather have what you are purchasing or have more money a little later to buy something much better.

Don’t decrease your quality of life to invest every penny you make, but I’m sure you can find quite a bit of money hidden in places you never thought of.  Think carefully when you spend and choose to save instead.

To add that much more, try getting a second job.  If you got a part time job making $100 a week, that’s an extra $400 a month or $4,800 a year you can invest.  That will add up fast especially if you are already investing a good amount to start.

Let me show you have these simple points can allow you to invest and earn so much more.

To start, you are investing $200 a month or $2,400 a year.  If you go through and save wherever you can, you are able to find an extra $300 a month or $3,600 a year for a total of $500 a month or $600 a year.

Then, you decide to get a part time job working 15 to 20 hours a week making 7 or 8 dollars an hour and are able to put aside another $400 a month for a total of $900 a month or $10,800 a year.  That is a difference of $8,400 a year!

If you were able to invest and make an average return of 8% investing that amount each year for 10 years, you would be increasing your earnings from approximately $37,000 to $167,000 which is a difference of $130,000.  Can you believe that the little extra work will get you an extra $130,000 in just 10 years time?
