In this blog, we\u2019re going to be answering a whole load of\n questions as we go on, but today we\u2019ll be starting from the very \nbeginning. We\u2019re looking at why and when the best time to start your \ninvesting journey might just be right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to blow our own \ntrumpets, but we like to think that what we don\u2019t know about investing \nprobably isn\u2019t worth knowing. That being said, we\u2019re always open to \nexploring the cutting edge of the industry, and passing on the best \ntips, tricks, and nuggets of golden wisdom to our clients. Check out \nthese questions and answers below, and see for yourself whether \ninvesting today is the best move for all your tomorrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-is-there-a-tried-and-tested-method-for-knowing-whether-or-not-investing-right-now-is-right-for-me\">Is There a Tried-And-Tested Method For Knowing Whether or Not Investing Right Now is Right For Me?\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Life isn\u2019t\n full of foolproof methods for anything, but we reckon it\u2019s pretty easy \nto know whether or not you\u2019re ready to set out on your investment \njourney towards future wealth, stability, and financial prosperity. It\u2019s\n best to start off with something called a financial plan. This is a \nsimple, one-page document which will help you see where you\u2019re at \nfinancially, and whether or not the time is right to begin investing and\n watching the wealth you have start to grow larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly,  you\u2019ll need to write down how much debt you\u2019re currently in. Have a few  small debts here and there? Get busy paying them off before you start  investing properly. If they\u2019re high-interest debts, then work a little  harder and make the sacrifices needed in order to pay them off quickly.  Secondly, make a note of your \u2018emergency funds\u2019 \u2013 it\u2019s always safest to  have somewhere between three and six month\u2019s worth of money squirreled  away in a secure savings account before you get into investing. These  are your first steps towards investment success, and once you\u2019re fully  aware of your financial situation, you can start checking out what  Wealthface can do for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-can-i-start-investing-if-i-have-some-low-interest-debts-eg-student-debts\">Can I Start Investing if I Have Some Low-Interest Debts (eg. Student Debts)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We always  believe that it\u2019s better to start investing than putting it off for too  long, as you never know the opportunities you might be missing in the  meantime. If your debts are high interest (certainly anything over 5%),  you\u2019re best off doing all you can to pay them off as quickly as possible  and starting out with a clean sheet. Student debts are so commonplace,  and generally so low in interest, that they shouldn\u2019t really make much  difference to your decision to start investing. If you feel more  comfortable doing so, start your investments relatively small, and use  Wealthface\u2019s calculator to express an interest in low-risk investments.  By taking the key baby steps, by the time you\u2019re in a better financial  situation you\u2019ll be an old hand at it, and fully informed of the ins and  outs of the industry. Everyone\u2019s a winner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-much-money-do-i-need-in-order-to-start-investing-meaningfully\">How Much Money Do I Need in Order to Start Investing Meaningfully?\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We get it \u2013  not all of us have a spare $30,000 lying around, waiting to be invested  in our passive funds and portfolios. However, Wealthface prides itself  on our flexibility and versatility, and we want to make investing open  and accessible to anybody interested in saving their money or watching  their wealth grow. Because we believe that all portfolios should be  treated with equal care and attention, you really don\u2019t need that much  cash in order to start seeing great results with our winning services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-i-ve-been-hearing-rumours-of-an-upcoming-financial-crisis-is-it-madness-to-start-investing-now\">I\u2019ve Been Hearing Rumours of an Upcoming Financial Crisis. Is It Madness To Start Investing Now?\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The  markets are like the seasons or the tides \u2013 they constantly go up and  down, and change is the only constant in the world of finance. However,  they doesn\u2019t mean you should be put off from investing. Just because one  part of the world might be experiencing a dip, or about to have a  temporary wobble, it doesn\u2019t mean everybody is going to be affected  equally. What\u2019s more, it\u2019s important to remember that overall, the curve  of the financial industry is an upwards one, and by taking a long-term  view, the vast majority of investors do very well indeed. Wealthface has  taken the time to backtest all of our systems to deal with every  eventuality, and while we can\u2019t guarantee what the markets are going to  do in the future, we\u2019ve got the tools in place to help you build your  wealth and overcome fluctuations as and when they arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-is-the-world-too-unstable-right-now-for-investing\">Is the World Too Unstable Right Now for Investing?\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s true \nthat the world seems to be going crazy from time to time \u2013 you\u2019ve only \ngot to flick on the news channels to hear more than enough \ndoom-mongering to put you off pretty much any plans for the future. It\u2019s\n really important to see the bigger picture though; shocks, unexpected \ntwists and turns, and even financial depressions lead to opportunities \nin the markets for those savvy enough to take hold of them. By putting \nyour wealth in the hands of market experts and state-of-the-art \ninvestment technology, and then \u2013 crucially \u2013 riding out any \nfluctuations, time has shown that the benefits and rewards are greater \nand more lasting. Think about it \u2013 the past 50 years has seen plenty of \nwars, credit crunches, and global financial crises\u2026 and yet the market \nis arguably in a better place today than it\u2019s ever been. Wouldn\u2019t you \nlike a slice of that success?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-wouldn-t-it-be-better-to-stuff-all-my-cash-in-my-mattress\">Wouldn\u2019t It Be Better To Stuff All My Cash In My Mattress?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve all \nheard stories of rich eccentrics who have hidden their cash and wealth \nin the walls of their houses, in their mattresses, or under their \nfloorboards\u2026 but really, doing so puts your wealth in a dangerous \nsituation. Inflation only ever really travels in one direction, and even\n with inflation running at miniscule increments, this means that your \ncash will lose its value (and gather plenty of dust and mouse droppings)\n while it hides in the darkness. We believe in long-term visions, riding\n out fluctuations, and tuning out the background noise of doom-mongers \nand naysayers. We\u2019ve seen our investment systems work time and time \nagain, and as long as you meet our basic criteria, we\u2019re confident \ntoday\u2019s as good as any other to get your journey towards investment \nsuccess started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re a relatively seasoned investor, or absolutely brand-spanking-new to the wonderful world of wealth growth and investment, there\u2019s little doubt about the fact that you\u2019re bound to have a fair few questions from time to time.
