"The one investment that will always generate returns is investing in yourself"
Sept 4, 2016

Last week I was attempting to figure out what is the best course for my career, either going for that 1 in a million chance to become further specialized in my field or taking a side route. After a long period of discussion with my wife, I have settled on the side route. Normally this would be because I was too lazy or unmotivated to work for this other job, but this time it is because I want to take that time and energy to invest in myself.

Working in my field is great but all the financial advice I have gotten have led me to the conclusion that diversifying your income stream is best. And since there are only so many hours in a day, and days in a year, I know that passive income through stocks, technology, and real estate will be my goal. I have started using Robin Hood for stock investing, Android Studios to learn app building, and Bigger Pockets for real estates.

I will not allow myself to use the time I would have had needed to simply relax and enter a vegetative state, I will improve and develop. I want to be able to retire early, work only if I want to, not because I have to.
