Role of Delayed Gratification

Have you heard the saying, “If you give up one today, you can have two tomorrow” . Yes, this also applies to your investments.

Instead of taking a loan, if you invest for a goal and then realise it, your financial situation can be better.  But why?

Taking loans Investing
You will have to pay interest You can get returns
Due to interest, you end up paying more You can make your money grow
Buying things on credit makes you stressed since you have the pressure to payback Investing in your goals would ensure you stay relaxed even after paying them
