How To Overcome Your Fear Of Investing And Make More Money Long Term

How To Overcome Your Fear Of Investing And Make More Money Long Term

Author: Sam Dogen: Financial Samurai founder, personal finance blogger February 15, 2024 Duration: 23:23

Since 2009, when I began Financial Samurai, I've noticed some people are too afraid to invest or get easily shaken out whenever there is economic or stock market turbulence. Then, these investors get left behind as the economyc, stock market, real estate market, and other markets eventually recovery.

To help you overcome your fear of investing, I suggest coming up with an investment thesis. An investment thesis is your north star and will help you hold strong during difficult times.

For more details, see the post: An Investment Thesis Is The Key To Making More Money Long Term

Investing Thesis For 2024 And Beyond

1) A recovery in the real estate market as it plays catchup to the stock market. Check out Fundrise, my favorite private real estate platform with over $3.3 billion under management for 500,000+ investors. 

2) A boom in artificial intelligence that will boost profits and economic growth. To invest in AI and other private growth companies, check out the open-ended Innovation Fund. You can see what the fund invests in before you invest and how much.
