Transforming Debt into Wealth by Paying Off Debt and Investing

Transforming debt into wealth is not difficult, if we put your mind to it. I will show you how but you will have to cooperate. If you do, you could easily retire a millionaire. How good it will feel to know you own your own home and everything in it, instead of it owning you. For that is what it is, if you have to slave yourself just to pay for everything, then your home owns you.

So here's what we should do. This is the last part of becoming rich. Did you follow all the steps? Just look at the navigation bars. By now, we should have paid up the credit card, mortgage, and college debts. Also, we should have gone through debt and credit counseling, debt consolidation and management and now we're into investment. If you have not passed the above yet, be patient, go back and go over what you have missed.

Before we start investing and transforming debt into wealth, let us review the basic law of investment. The possible return should vary precisely with the risk of loss and in reverse with the liquidity. That said, are we now ready to invest?

No, not yet, not until we consider the two basic recommendations to be certain that transforming debt into wealth will be a reality. What are these recommendations? Be reasonable about liquidity and about risk. These two basic recommendations will help guide us in our investment activities. Let's take them one at a time.

Being realistic about liquidity is something we have to decide once and for all in order to get transforming into wealth to be more than a dream. You see people are afraid to lose their cash so they want to hold on to it by depositing it into bank accounts that pay measly interest. Before you know it, you'll lose the inflation game.

Regarding risk, while it is true that putting the money in the bank is not a wise move, neither is putting it in risky propositions. That is no way to be transforming debt into wealth. You'll have to possess the nerve of steel, time and the energy to check on investments that are risky.

With those basic recommendations in mind, let us now study the investments that are waiting for us. Reviewing them will help us decide which ones fit our profile with regards to risk we are prepared to face. We will just be listing them down here and then on the next pages, we will review each one and make recommendation.

The first ones we have already covered: pay off loans and build emergency fund. Then save for a home and buy it before we start putting the money somewhere else. The next in line will have to be retirement savings, saving bonds, T-bills and term deposits.

The we can consider the next level of possible investments. The guaranteed investment certificates, bonds, preferred shares and mortgages are in line here. But remember, we are just mentioning them here; we will discuss each one later.

The common stocks, mutual funds and real estate are next in line. Gold and silver come after that. Then we have options and tax shelters. Last but not least, we are going to talk about commodities. With all of these, if we play our hands right, we will be transforming debt into wealth.
