Moustache Money
With Movember just around the corner, people all over the world are preparing to grow a moustache to raise money and awareness for men’s health issues. This got the team at Raiz thinking about what it takes to grow facial hair, and found that it’s very similar to growing your money.
4 key stages to growing:
The Decision
You’ve thought about it for a while, you’ve seen your mate’s ‘stache (or stash of money), and you know how great it could be. It’s time to start growing!
The Envy
It’s been a few days and you’ve not got much to show above your upper lip – you begin to notice every beautiful moustache you pass and wonder why that can’t be you. The same happens with saving, not everyone can put away $100 a week, but it’s about working with what you’ve got.
Don’t get jealous, just be patient, slow and steady wins the race.
The Itch
You’re beginning to get some solid growth, but with this growth comes a nasty itch.
For growing a moustache, the itch is physical one, as prickly hairs scratch your skin, and you start thinking about shaving the itch away.
For growing your money, the itch is one of temptation. The itch to start spending the nice little stash that you’ve accumulated.
The solution? Fight through the itch! You’ve made it this far, so keep at your long-term strategy and keep it growing so that you can reach stage 4…
The Glory
This is what you’ve been waiting for, once you reach this stage nobody remembers The Envy, or The Itch, you’re just happy you made The Decision. You’re either sitting with a pile of savings, or a luscious moustache, either way you feel pretty good.
When saving money, everyone has different definitions of glory, it could be a car, a holiday, or a more stable financial future – whatever your goal is, Raiz wants to help you get there. With our different tools we give you a more natural way to invest, and a new way to let your money grow. All you have to do is remain patient.
