Good financial management isn’t about saving money at any cost, but in knowing how to spend. If you have any job at all, you will have money coming in, and it’s important to know what to do with that income so you can make the most from it. Of course, sometimes this does mean acting frugally and saving as necessary, but other times it can involve knowing what to spend your money on and invest in.
Luckily, unlike the stock market, you can be fairly sure that investment in a range of worthwhile endeavors or outcomes will always bear fruit should you measure that correctly against your plans. For instance, you would invest in an excellent 2021 Buick Encore if you hoped to ensure your brand new car could run for the longest amount of time possible without repairs, saving you money as necessary.
Yet it’s not always the case that we treat our own life with that sort of long-term planning. In this post, we will show you how to do that:
Education
Investing in your own education is a practice that almost always bears fruit, even if that just means helping you learn learning skills, while feeling empowered to learn at your own pace should ever wish wish to self-direct that. From small courses to online degrees, from going for the first aid course at work to net yourself a great life skill and perhaps a stronger potential for your eventual promotion, education makes a massive difference in living a healthy life, as it keeps you active, engaged, and your brain will remain sharper for a longer amount of time.
Experiences
Experiences are always the best thing to invest in, because they shape you as a person, help you become more aware and informed regarding the world around you, and get you out of your comfort zone as much as possible, which is almost always beneficial for growth. It might be that you volunteer for certain practices at work, or you learn that new martial art you’ve been thinking about, or you simply try that new authentic cuisine in that restaurant which has opened up on your street. Experiences are where real wealth is found.
Health
Investing in your health is nearly always worth it, because this is an asset that dissipates when time moves on, even faster and even more unpredictably if we don’t take care of it. But even those who aren’t in perfect health can improve their mental wellbeing and enthusiasm for life if they invest in good food, exercise, healthy access to good supplementation, and of course, train in whatever way they can (be that yoga lessons, martial arts, or simply hiking as necessary. Even those in wheelchairs have access to a range of excellent and low to high impact sports). Investing in your health is one effort you will almost never regret.
With this advice, we hope you can understand the life investments that will always bear fruit.
