Why are you investing?

People save and invest the money that they have today so they can dispose of it (and hopefully more) tomorrow. Beyond this fact, the reasons to invest are limitless. Most people want to retire someday, or at least know that they can stop working if they so choose. Parents may want to fund a child’s education. Others may want to leave a large amount to a favored charity when they pass away. Goals are as individual as each person, and you should consider what your goals are, as well as their relative priority, before making any investment.
