There is more than one way to leave a legacy. Setting SMART financial goals when young will bring benefits for a great retirement.
Ben Clendon, now in his 30’s is actively building a share portfolio for the future. His story however, began when at five years old, Ben’s father bought him some shares. That action had a domino effect. It made Ben curious, and that in turn created an awareness of shares and the stock market, and that developed into a career.
It got me thinking what a great idea it would be to do this for our kids or grandkids. What a legacy to leave to them! I’m not meaning some big dollar value of a share portfolio. We may not have the resources. What if we gave them enough to spark an interest? With knowledge ordinary people can extraordinary things.
I did not start investing in the stock market until my 50’s and I am still learning.
