What would have done differently over the past 10 years if you had those years again?
I have been reading comments in a real estate forum about how one would have done things differently in property investment if they had those 10 years again.
The most common thread was to “educate”. Another very strong response was to not sit and wait but get into the property investing market as quickly and as safely as you can.
This then comes down to the psychology of property investing. Are you prepared to put everything (well nearly everything) on the line now, pull your financial belt tighter and do the ‘hard stuff’ to have it all in the future?
This can be quite difficult to do at times, especially if you have to do it for several years.
Both getting on the same page
If you are married or in a relationship and building a future together it does mean that both of you need to be of the same mindset to building wealth. Both need to understand that your retirement will be easier and more enjoyable the earlier that growing wealth is put into place.
It is no good if the wife likes to pop off out to the shops and blow $200 a week on shoes, clothing and make-up, or hubby likes to have the latest car or blow a couple of hundred on the gee-gees each week, while the other is trying to put money aside to build the future.
This is the where the psychology of investing comes in. To be successful an investor has to have a strong mindset about earning and investing money so that compounding capital growth will give the wealth that is desired over the long term.
