Develop a habit of reading books

It has been rightly said that Books are human’s best friends. Most people have a poor mindset, they say that learning and reading books are all work of students, also it is limited to schools and colleges.

Most people have queries related to this point. They often ask me, “What books should we read?” and I simply answer them, “The books you like the most. It could be a novel, a storybook, or a magazine. ” However, ensure that it contains some useful information.

Make investment to grow your money

Investment is an important thing, which people ignore. Investment can give you lifetime benefits. It helps to grow your money. If you know, what is compounding then you can create a great source of wealth.

However, if you don’t know let me explain to you what is compounding. In general, terms compounding means interest received on interest along with the principal amount.

Let understand it with an example:

Suppose, you invested $2000 in a company, with an annual interest of 10%, after 1 year the company decided to pay a dividend to the investor. Then you’ll get $200 (10% of $2000) back to your account, however, if you decided to re-invest the dividend.

Now, your principle amount would become $2200 ($2000 + $200), and next year you’ll receive interest on $2200 instead of $2000. If You’ll keep re-investing your money, it would grow worth more than you think.

Now I think you have understood the power of compounding.
