I am a government servant, working in regional land office. At the end of five years of my working life, I have spent part of the salary I received during these five years for family and saved part for future.
You have really tried. That means you really knows the importance of saving for once future.
I have been saving my money in the bank for more than five years for the purpose of saving for the future and purchasing a land.
You have really made a wrong decision here by saving your money in bank. It's better you make your money work for you to earn more than to save in bank where little interest is given and part of the money is been deducted as monthly charges.
If I were to mention the amount of money I saved in five years, it would be about 11 thousand dollars if converted to US dollars.
This is great for your country if you can save up to this in 5 years without embezzlement.
My plan was to buy a land with this amount of money but whenever looking for land to buy land my idea completely changes because the lands I like will not give me this amount of money. If I can't buy land in a position, I have no desire to buy land in a common place.
Land is a good investment if gotten in a good location. I think with the nature of your job, you should be able to get land where your money can be double within limited time.
Since I have like 11 thousand dollars right now, I want to invest this amount in Bitcoin instead of keeping it in the bank. I know about investing in bitcoins and I know that there are risks involved, I am investing in the potential to grow money but I want to invest in bitcoins with the understanding that my money may go down due to market volatility. I decided to withdraw the money from the bank at the beginning of the new year and plan to invest the money in bitcoins. Now that I can't buy land, I will definitely hold this investment for a long time so that I get good returns at the end of the long term and I can also accumulate some more money through employment.
At the time I planned it I felt I should have planned it earlier.
You have made a great choice investing in Bitcoin. Make sure you have understand the pro and con of investing in Bitcoin for long term goal before investing. I will also advice you to diversify this your savings. Invest part in Bitcoin and use the remaining to acquire land even if it is in a common area where you are sure of profit, this profit can help you to solve some financial problem if it arises. You can as well use the remaining to start a mini business so as you to use the profit for some daily expenses within the family.
