The Choice
When it comes to money and investing, people have three fundamental reasons or choices for investing-to be:
- Secure,
- Comfortable, or
- Rich
All three choices are important. The difference in one's life occurs when the choices are prioritised.
Most people dream of becoming rich, but it is not their first choice. Their first choice when it comes to money decisions is security. Second is comfort and third is to be rich. That is why most people make job security, their highest priority. After they have a secure job or profession, then they focus on comfort. The last choice for most people is to be rich.
