Instead of hiring someone to work for you, you’ve decided to do all the work for yourself and thinking that hiring people will only add up to your expenses. This may be right, but you must also analyze the situation. What if you need to meet clients for expansion of your business? And you are too busy doing much work in your office. Always remember that “Time is Gold” you must learn to leverage your time.

Investing vs. Expenses for Employees

For individuals who work as an employee and what to start investing for their retirement. You can also apply this system of asking yourself first “If it is an expense or investment?” For example, buying a house and lot or a condo unit and you were convinced to pay it on a monthly basis by a real estate agent. Sounds like an investment. But what if you were laid off at your job after a year and you don’t have any savings to pay all the monthly amortization. It’s either the unit will be repossessed by the bank or sell it at a lower price to save some of your money that you’ve paid for the unit.

Instead of buying a house and lot or a condo unit first, why not strengthen first the roots. Save money first in your bank, in this case your money is earning some interest but not that big. Try investing some of it in time deposit where your money will earn much interest than a regular savings account and roll it over or try putting up a business with small capital. Until you see that the interest on your savings are enough to pay for the monthly amortization of your dream house. Then it’s time for you to invest in buying houses and lot or condo unit and it’s like owning it for free, because you are paying the monthly amortization from the interest that you earn from your savings.
