@wise.future.books: You need a cash reserve! Investing makes significantly more than saving in the long-term but those investments go up and down in value. The stock market can lose a third of its value in one year. If that is the year you need the money you will lock in your losses when you sell investments. Aim to build up a cash reserve of around 3 months spending before you start investing. #financialfreedom #livethedream #peaceofmind
