If you want to make headway in building your wealth, simply saving money might not be enough.

Your next move to maximize your savings should be to begin investing. Investing is an important building block of a sound financial future and can help you get higher returns from your money than you’d get from a savings account or certificates of deposit.

Investing can pay off handsomely if you follow these steps:

  1. Set the stage for a sound investment

Before putting a shilling in any investment, set the stage for sound investing. First, set up a budget indicating all your capital and recurrent expenditure.

  1. Seek help

For brand new investors, the process might be overwhelming. If you are unsure of how or where to put your investments, get a firm that can advise you well.

  1. Start with simple investments

The best way to invest is to keep things simple. Begin with a simple and manageable monthly investment and work your way up as you get to know the investing markets better. For example, Optiven Ltd, with their new project Victory Gardens can be a good place to begin your investment journey. With only Ksh30,000, as a down investment, you have a chance to build a home hassle-free.
