It's about time, or, to be more precise, it's mostly about time. That is the answer to the question on most investors' lips, which is 'How should I invest my money?'
The next question to ask should be 'How long do I want to invest my money for?' Your investment time frame is one of the key ingredients in deciding how best to invest your money.
The problem is, many inexperienced investors don't understand the connection between time and investment.
Your investment time frame is the time after which you will need to access the amount of money invested in order to spend it.
This is not to be confused with the time after which you will need to spend the income from the money invested.
