It’s possible to be asset rich but cash poor. You might have significant wealth on paper, yet struggle with day-to-day expenses due to a lack of liquid assets.

Building your financial future should focus on maintaining liquidity rather than accumulating non-liquid or idle assets

[Ujani Kenya @Ujani_Kenya]

In Kenya, government bonds set the standard for investment returns.

If your business can't outperform these bonds, it might not be worth your time and effort.

Instead of struggling with lower returns, consider investing your money in government bonds.👇

3. You can passively invest in the stock market and potentially achieve higher returns than with bonds, Money Market Funds (MMFs), or Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs).

[Ujani Kenya @Ujani_Kenya]

Investing in stocks doesn't have to be as complex as it appears.

1. You don't need to be an expert to begin investing in the stock market.

2. You don't need to learn how to value companies or read financial statements.

[Ujani Kenya @Ujani_Kenya]

By following this strategy, you can take advantage of the benefits of both global and local stock markets, optimizing your investment returns while minimizing complexity.

Furthermore, global stock dividend yields tend to be lower than those of local stocks. Additionally, there are no capital gains taxes on both NSE and global stock investments.

Why Should You Consider the Stock Market?

1. Money Market Funds are not ideal for long-term investments like retirement planning.

MMFs are designed for short-term capital preservation and are more like enhanced savings options rather than true investments.👇👇

Health and life insurance mitigate risks against unforeseen medical expenses and untimely death, while an emergency fund provides a financial cushion in times of crisis.

Balancing both baskets ensures comprehensive financial well-being.

[Ujani Kenya @Ujani_Kenya]

However, it's crucial not to overlook the wealth protection basket.

Health insurance, life insurance, and an emergency fund are vital components that safeguard your financial future.

[Ujani Kenya @Ujani_Kenya]

Wealth creation and protection are two essential pillars of financial security.

A robust wealth creation basket includes Money Market Funds (MMFs), stocks, bonds, and real estate. These assets offer growth and diversification, helping to build substantial wealth over time.👇

[Ujani Kenya @Ujani_Kenya]

By keeping these factors in mind, you can make informed decisions about where to save your money, balancing security, returns, and accessibility effectively.

Where Should You Save Your Money?

Choosing the right place to save your money involves considering several key factors to ensure your funds are secure, grow adequately, and remain accessible when needed. Here's a breakdown of what to consider👇👇

Typically, with an inflation rate of 5% and a KES depreciation rate of 2%,

Your buying power diminishes by approximately 7%.

Now consider the additional taxes being implemented by the government.

[Ujani Kenya @Ujani_Kenya]

Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has set the inflation target range at 5% (plus or minus 2.5%)

This means that if you're not investing or saving your money in avenues that yield a higher rate than the inflation rate,

Within 10 years, the value of your money will be reduced by half
