Investing!

What a broad topic! Personally, I have a close relationship with investing, but what is it? I believe investing is the act of preparation and the ability to solidify one’s future. This can be done in many ways; through monetary means, knowledge and even in one’s physical well-being. I have focused on all of these at one point or another and to invest is to make way for a brighter future. Currently, I have plans to retire earlier than the norm. With a solid 25 years of compounding power in front of me, I believe that with the right career, I can be retired at age 45. Crazy, isn’t it? My family has their doubts, but I know it can be done.

Not only do I want to invest the money I make, but I plan on investing in my ability to learn and to engage in critical thinking skills. These attributes will be of the utmost importance in the future as our world becomes ever-increasingly automated.

To make these investments valuable, I need to invest in my well-being. Sadly, this investment has been put on the back burner this past year, but I am taking small steps to eat in a healthier manner. As a previous vegan, I know the challenges of beginning to eat right (it isn’t going to be easy).

To conclude, investing is important and I know each and every person can find something to invest in to help pave the way for a more secure future. Whether it be the investment of money, time, knowledge or even health everyone can invest! Heck! I even made an investment of $26, in order to save these thoughts. Money well spent, in my opinion.

P.s.- I intend to elaborate in different forms of investing in the future, let me know in the comments of what you think!
