Is it profitable to join a social gathering?
Social gathering activities are actually something that is commonly done in the social life of Indonesian society. The concept of social gathering itself is not much different from saving and going into debt.
A person who gets the money for the social gathering for the first time when the social gathering starts will experience the experience of someone who is in debt because he will indeed receive cash from members’ contributions like surprise money.
Unfortunately, in the next few months he will have to pay the fees in installments and will not receive any more money until finally all the social gathering participants receive their money.
Meanwhile, those who receive the money at the end will experience regular monthly savings.
The money obtained from social gatherings can actually be used for various things, both consumptive and productive matters.
Fraudulent investments are becoming more sophisticated
Fraudulent investments can of course come in any form, whether in the form of business or social activities such as social gatherings.
When there is an investment offer that promises fantastic returns without any risk, it should be suspected.
In investing, the concept of risk and return being directly proportional is certainly something that deserves careful attention. And it is appropriate for us to choose investment instruments, which are supervised by regulators.
