One of the easiest ways to build your wealth โ€” and knowledge โ€” is by investing a portion of your N500,000 into the personal development courses available.

At the end of the day, wealth is a product of decisions and you need to be well informed in order to make the right decisions. You are your first asset.

You canโ€™t grow wealth by allowing other people to be in charge of making decisions for you.

When I started my investing journey, I only thought about investing in the stock market.

However, as I gained more experience with investing, I realized that at some point in my future, I should look to diversify my investments into real estate.

And thatโ€™s where the question dawned on me:

How can I invest N500,000 in real estate?

With N500,000 you can invest in many different real estate areas, include:

- REITs

- Real estate partnerships

  • Real estate crowdfunding platforms

Just like Real Estate Crowdfunding, there are platforms you can partner with.

But permit me to put up a disclaimer on this;

There are a lot of fraudulent platforms disguising themselves as agrotech platform [Watch out for my next post on โ€œHow to know a good investment company]

This is likely the most boring and non-sexy option. However, itโ€™s essential to building and especially maintaining your wealth.

An emergency savings fund is an easily accessible, cash account equal to 3โ€“6 monthsโ€™ worth of your living expenses for unexpected costs.

An emergency savings fund, in essence, is like an insurance account that gives you peace of mind and helps you cover any unexpected costs if something were to happen.

Opening an emergency fund account is not a big deal.

Hereโ€™s 1 trick that can help you earn a little extra on your emergency savings cash: Open up a high yield savings account.

A high-yield savings account is just like any other regular savings account.

Instead of earning 1.15% on what you invest (letโ€™s say N500,000), youโ€™ll be earning between 2.15% โ€” 4% (at least in the 2021 low-interest-rate environment)

Another reason why millionaires become โ€” and stay โ€” so successful is because of their professional network.

โ€œYou are only as valuable as your relationships.โ€

Networking can make or break your career. In fact, networking can help you with:

- Training

- Referrals for your business and skills

- Prospects

- New mentors

- Increased credibility

- Improved social skills

- Potential to advance your career
