The 5 Keys to Successful Investing - An OVERWOOD Thread

Before investing, you should have done thorough research to have some knowledge of what you’re investing in. Know where your money is going and what you’ll get in return. Invest in only what you understand.

2. Don’t take unnecessary risks

How to build an investment portfolio for each age-group.

- An OVERWOOD thread

1/ The most important rule of investment is the need for portfolios instead of individual investments.

Portfolios enable you to be more strategic with investments while reducing the possibility that you would lose everything to a single bad investment.

2/ HOW TO CREATE A PORTFOLIO

1. Start by dividing your principal into 3 segments.
- Segment 1: Conservative fund (very safe).
- Segment 3: Balanced fund.
- Segment 2: Aggressive fund (more risk).

2. Assign percentages to each segment based on life stage.

3. Adjust with age.

overwood.ng/blog/how-to-ge…

1. Stop incurring more debt.
Getting out of debt will be harder if you keep incurring more. Avoid debt by all means.

2. Build an emergency fund
Unexpected or unplanned expenses might be the reason you are in debt; an emergency fund will take care of such unplanned expenses.

3. Increase your monthly payment.
To get out of debt faster, try to increase your monthly payments if you can pay more than the minimum.

4. Automate your payments.
Set up a regular automatic payment towards your debt. This way, you’ll never forget and you'd pay it off faster.

Ade and his wife, Bola have always wanted to save for their son, Kunle's future education, but they have never quite been able to make it happen. They made attempts to start a child-savings plan but each time, a more pressing issue crept up. 1/5

Bola, an elementary school teacher, lost her job during the recession. For two years, the family was getting by on Ade’s civil servant income. Every time Bola raised the issue of saving for their son's education, Ade would say, "we would deal with that in the future." 2/5

As the years went by, the cost of education in Nigeria increased and Kunle’s parents struggled to keep him in school.

After many years of toiling and incurring debt to pay for their son’s education, Kunle made straight A’s in his SSCE with a desire to study Law. 3/5
