It is very important for young people to understand the importance of their monetary investment to their long-term growth, investing money and suppressing present wants isn't in any way being foolishness but rather it is one of the best and wise steps to take as a young person, let me give an example, when I was in college I was on various scholarship grants which meant that every year for the speculated period I was expected to be in the university I would always look forward to getting some hefty sum of money, last year was my final year at the university, which meant it would be the last time I did recieve such scholarship funds, I didnt want to just use the money without earning any real value for it in the long term, I got to know a lot about the prospect of cryptocurrency investment by October last year, so I decided that as soon I get this funds i would invest it into some crytopcurrencies, on the other hand a friend of mine told me of how he was going to use the money to buy a mobile gadget for his brother as well as for his self without any plans for the long term, and would not change his mind on his decision no matter how hard I tried to convince him, the Scholarship funds came in December and we both went on with our plans, although with different results, today I am more financially stable than I was before making that investment and able to do the things I want to do with ease while my friend on the other still struggles financially.

As a young person, your monetary investments gives you a lot of leverage over those who do not in the long term, although as young people t is understandable that we have so many wants, wants which rises from mostly pressure from society, family and most times friends, but the ability to suppress these urge to spend recklessly rather than invest is will help on the long run, to be able to do this an understanding and adaptation of some certain traits are important, most of these are briefly discussed below;

• Attend to your needs and not your wants

It is well understood that there are cut clear differences between our wants and our needs, don't buy that car if you are not going to be using it, don't get that latest model that iPhone because others are getting it, a clear distinction between these two will help you invest more rather than spend more thereby giving better standing financially in the future.

• Let your debtor wait

This advice might sound like wickedness or a little bit of selfishness, but in the long run, it helps you build a better investment portfolio without having to deal with the issue of debts, whenever you get a large sum of money which is or almost equivalent to the debt you own, dont just pay it off, or you might fall into another debt, what you do instead is paid a percentage of the debt from that money and invest the rest, when the profit from your investment come you pay off, this way you see you have a better investment portfolio without having t worry about debts.

• Don't give out money you cant afford to lose

Most young people fail to understand this is vital to building a very good investment portfolio, whenever you are giving out money, either lending or charity, it should be one you can afford to let go off if it doesn't eventually come back, don't give out money you intend using for investment, this is very important because it helps you plans very well for the investment you are making, you will never get stranded when you want to make an investment.
