Good for you! That will be a head start in the world of investing. I too, is in investing. The first time is always hard as you are venturing into the unknown. But once you finally get the hang of investing, everything will be alright thereafter. Yes, I do believe that my hard earned money should also do some working for me. I don't want to work for money all my life, that is why I am also trying to build my net worth value with paper assets and make my money work for me too. I hope we both can be financially free and abundant in the near future! Good luck on your investments!

hello! Your idea is perfectly good. Investing is the best way in earning money because you are not working on it but your money working on you. May be I could try this if I have enough saving to invest for this kind of income. From now on my salary is just enough for my family needs, education and mortgage for our house.

Yeah, yeah! Get out of the rat race. That is also my goal. Have you read Robert Kiyosaki's book Rich Dad, Poor Dad. That is where I was enlightened about investing. Now, I am very interested in investing my money. I do have a diversified portfolio of high risk, moderate risk and low risk investments. I suggest that you try going for stock trading. You can pocket nice gains in there. But beware. You must try to learn some things before plunging into it. Once you get the hang of how mutual funds work, you can try it yourself by investing in stock trading rather than paying fund managers to invest your money in stocks. As of now, I am trying to target a million peso savings to motivate me into getting more investments and saving up.

I Also use mutual fund for investment purpose other than invest in stocks because here we gain some dividend as well as our NAV is higher after some times because thease fund is look after by some professional people who is invest our money for some assests or some gove bond menas we have nothing to do to find which stock we have to choose and same the but type of return we received, so better way to invest money in mutual fund instead of Shares..

Yup, me too. since i have just started, i decided to put it to mutual fund than going directly to stock market. soon, i'll get there! I hope other people would open their minds that banks aren't really a good place for saving. =) happy lotting!

Nothing is small and what to say one start as small investment then go with bigger. As if one start doing bigger invement might loss make him go woe to invest in future. Thus starting with small amount and incrse it gradually will help you understand the things and you will be perfect in the market.As this is dynamic so one have to be careful.

Could you share the name of the company where you invested your money? I'm also interested in investing especially in high yield investment. I know it's too risky but weighing the benefits I could get, I think I should give it a try.
