20 Rules for Successful Investing (Investing For Dummies)

1# Saving is a prerequisite to investing. Unless you have wealthy, benevolent relatives, living within your means and saving money are prerequisites to investing and building wealth.

2# Know the three best wealth-building investments. People of all economic means make their money grow in ownership assets - stocks, real estate, and small business - where you share in the success and profitability of the asset.

3# Be realistic about expected returns. Over the long term, 9 to 10 percent per year is about right for ownership investments (such as stocks and real estate). If you run a small business, you can earn higher returns and even become a multimillionaire, but years of hard work and insight are required.
