Hi Impatient Investors!

Welcome to the site. This is a warning against being too impatient. Investments take time, investment takes patience and in order to see some stocks really grow, it takes time.

Let’s look at a major example: AAPL

This stock chart came from yahoo finance, ticker symbol AAPL. As you can see on 10/11/2019 the stock closed at 54.05 and by Oct. 18th 2023 it was around 178.85. That’s quite some gains, but it took 4 years. Investors in this stock would have seen appreciation, dividends and stock splits within that time. So impatience isn’t always good, especially in investing.

When Being Impatient Matters

Where impatience comes in handy is. being upset with the system. The advantage in being impatient is that you need a certain level of impatience if you want to retire early, to have financial freedom, and to make any changes really. In that case impatience isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Imagine signing on to a new work place and seeing a retirement plan that leads to 20 years from now. Something like LifePath 2060 when going over 401k retirement plans. Signing up for a pension where you cannot withdraw from the fund without a penalty until 70 years old and you’re only 24. Signing up for your first mortgage and your loan term ends in 2050 and you’re thinking if you really have this bill for the next 30 years. Wanting to retire early, wanting someone else to pay or help pay for your 30 year mortgage while you gain equity are just results of being impatient as the system doesn’t seem to make sense anymore.

Harsh Realities of Society

What’s even crazier is, even though the above scenarios seem like a long daunting realities, it’s the reality for most. And to add even more insult to injury, the job that we do not like, is the same job that we would have a meltdown if we got laid off and lost that source of income. Ok, one more insult to injury on top of that, is the job that we don’t like and do not pay us enough, we expect it to cover our finances when we retire and pray that we do not outlive the money. 

That’s enough insults for today. This website aims to bring financial topics on a regular, stay tuned and follow Impatient Investors.
