Jeffery K | Why do you think people don't invest their money? |
Analysis of historical records concludes that in all likelihood the stock markets of major countries will continue to rise steadily. Calculations show that by investing $100 a month in stable growth markets from the age of 25 on, it would be very easy to have more than a million dollars by retirement. It's not much money, and finding an honest investing professional is not that hard. So what gives? Why don't people do this?
Additional Details
But it really IS that easy, which is why I don't understand. Short of a total societal breakdown, it's very easy to invest in a Roth IRA that will grow until you retire. |

My first response would be because money is very tight. I seriously can't afford the bills I have, which I guarantee are just the necessities of life.
If I had ever had money in my life, of course I would have been saving. I tried having a 401K once but I had to cash it in when I lost a job.
Some people just don't even retire anymore, they can't afford to. I think retirement comes up before we expect it to happen.
Maybe the next generations will be smarter than we have been. |

Interesting question. I have my own theories. Here are a few:
1) People spend too much. This is probably the main reason. People assume that it is acceptable to spend 100% of their net income.
2) People are myopic, or short-sighted, in their thinking about money. They only think in terms of their current and upcoming paycheck. Once they start thinking long-term, they will be better able to consider investing.
3) People are intimdiated by investing. That is why I created my book at http://www.invest-for-retirement.com
4) People get caught up in the immediate financial needs, some of which are very legit. Baby, house, car repairs, sending kids to college, family needs, etc.
5) Investing and finances are not taught in highschool and not enough parents teach these. These subjects are often overlooked in a child's upbringing. |

Most people live for today and don't think about the long-term. So they spend it all now. |

Many people cant invest because they don't have the money. But if i invest in a good mutula fund a t25 u will be rich at 65 if u pick the right funds. |

When I was young, my parents would ask what would you want to become when u grow older. Basically they just want to find out which occupation I would be interested to work. And they will ask you to save money from your salary. In school, any teachers would teach you to be rich? NO ! Thus there is no financial education in the education system. People just ignorant what is investing about but know what is saving. |

Many people are afraid of the stock market, and have not done the analysis you have done. They want their savings to be "safe", so they put it all in CD's or Treasuries.
They don't understand when I tell them the S&P 500 has gone up a average of 10% per year for over 70 years. Every time they read about a bad year (or bad day) they come to me and say "Look how much I would have lost". |
