We would like you to think of all
"spending" as an "Investment".
Normally the word "spending" is associated with "expenses", however this
implies that you don't have a choice. The word "investment" implies that
you have CHOSEN where to put your money. Money earned is normally spent
in some way (very few people would have money in cash just sitting in a
safe). So by thinking of spending as investing, our answer is
that 100% of the money that you earn is "invested"
because with your current life-style choices you have unconsciously decided how to
distribute your earnings.
Saving is the most
traditional form of investment. However all Household Savings should be invested in the most profitable areas to secure the best
return. Did you realise that an investment of only $1000 per year at an
interest rate of 10% per year will grow to $1 million
in 47 years. Compound Interest is
incredibly powerful.

Also the same logical
thinking can be applied to our Business Investments. Did you
realise that after 20 years, $50,000 invested each year in a business
growing at 10% will turn
into $3.1 million compared to only $1.7 million if the business grows at 3% !
