By Richard Cox

All investors will make mistakes, but you need to learn how to avoid the big mistakes that may cost you a lot of your money. Many investors believe that you must start investing today and putting it off till later is the biggest investment mistake you can do. Learn how to make your money work for you and invest anything you can - even if it's a few dollars a week.

There actually is a good time to start investing - you must not start investing if you are not in a financial position to do so. Make sure to get your finances under control before you start investing. Clear up your credit history, pay off any balances in your credit cards and make sure to save up at least 3-6 months worth of living expenses in a high interest savings account.

When you start to invest, do not invest to get rich quick. Trying to get rich quick is the riskiest form of investing and you will most likely lose a good portion of your money. If it was that easy to get rich quick then everyone in the world would be doing it.

Do not put all your money into one single investment. You will need to diversify and invest in different types of investments to reduce your risk. Also, don't change investments and move your money around too much.

Investments in collectibles do not really pay off that well. Again, if this were true, everyone today would be doing it to get rich. Do not count on your baseball card collection to cover your years of retirement expenses.

Unfortunately, investing mistakes are very common today. Investors been to start with the basics and increase their investments as they become more knowledgeable with investing. Try to avoid the basic common investing mistakes presented here to protect your hard earned money.
