You Would Rather Go to the Gym?

Weights and cardiovascular exercise are doable to some. You work certain muscle groups or pump the heart, and over time, with consistent effort and showing up, you are certain to see a certain noticeable result for your efforts.

To others, even repeated physical exercise is a pain and a difficulty. You need a certain willpower it seems to get yourself off your behind, to show up at the workout facilities, that may or may not be nearby.

But, as they say, if you drag yourself through it and overcome the initial inertia of going to the gym, perhaps with the help of a personal trainer, the effort to just show up at the gym becomes less and less.

Results become easier and easier to obtain.

Saving and investing could perhaps be likened to working out at the "financial gym". In fact, the same reluctance and reticence to work your financial muscles could be attributed to the initial experience of learning to save, and then invest.

Would it help you if there were a book to read about why saving and investing becomes easier and easier?

Danielle Town wrote a book not too long ago, called, InvestEd. A particular chapter stood out - the Power of Compounding. The book shows that the more you save and invest, the greater your returns, at an exponential rate. Don't take it from me, read the book and see what you get out of it.

The book is available on Amazon Kindle and hardcopies can also be easily found at Kinokuniya Books Malaysia.

Perhaps you have already heard about exponential returns and the power of compounding. Perhaps you already know at some level, that your returns are not linear or do not plateau off over the years.

What continues to stop you from saving and investing?
