2. Put Your Money to Work
2.投资事业
Saving is great, but to make the most of your money you need to put it to work. Good investments can be the difference between retiring in your 40's or in your 60's.
节俭是美德，但要充分地利用你的金钱，就把它们投资在事业上。好的投资能让你在40岁时就得到财务上的解脱，这比60岁退休要好得多。
A post today at The Simple Dollar really got me thinking. According to Trent's projections, if a person in their early 20's invests 20% of their income in an S&P index fund, the interest they earn will equal their current salary when they reach their early 40's. They could retire without a drop in income!
今天收到的来自The Simple Dollar公司的邮件让我为之深思。特伦特的观点是，如果有人在20岁早期就开始将收入的20%投资在S&P的指数化证券投资基金上，那么当他们40岁时所赚的利息就等于现在的工资。那时，他们就可能在没有任何收入的情况下达到财务解脱。
