If you have been poking around my blog, you’ve probably figured out that myultimate goal is to help you reach some version of “financial independence” (or even just plain ol' retirement).
If you want to reach financial independence, you've got to understand big picture investing. I'm going to break it down for you, so you can recognize why you need to invest, in order to achieve financial freedom.
Most people hope to reach financial independence at the relatively standard retirement age of 65, or even earlier, if desired and possible. It will all depend on how much you have and by what age.
This is where the knowledge of big picture investing will help you grow your stash of cash faster than just working and saving alone.
The working and saving part is pretty basic. I think most of you understand how that “works”—ha! But the “investing” of those savings component can be a bit of a maze.
