Episode 187 - Three Minute Thursday ( The best investment you can make )

Make Sh*t Happen

Welcome to Make Shit Happen. This is three minute Thursday. The best investment you can make, guys is in yourself. Yes, that's correct. What I said is the best investment you can make yourself is in yourself. Now, what do you mean? What do a lot of people say? What does that mean, Sam? The best investment I can make myself is me. I mean, should I go buy myself a car, a house, go on trips, whatever. It makes you happy. But if you want to grow, you got to make sure that you are growing. Also, that means you are reading books. That means you are developing your skills. That means that you are investing in yourself, your education, your self-development, your self-education, all that stuff. Because when you do that, then you're going to go ahead and get more in life. A lot of people don't think that they're like, why should I read books? Why should I listen to these motivational people? Inspirational people. Why should I go attend seminars? Well, you got to do all that stuff to make sure that your development. I don't know who said that, but someone said if you read a book, it can save you three to four years of your life because you can learn of people's mistakes and what people are saying. Or you learn from people who have gone through stuff, right? Because you are growing up. You're 30 years old and you don't know what a 54 hours 60-year-old man has done or learned. And you're learning from their experience and definitely reading a book can save you three to four years listening to someone say something, an inspirational, motivational speaker. It can teach you something. You can learn something. There's one thing I talked about the other day is savings, right? If you're saving your money and you compounding it, I wish someone told me that when I was 20 years old, that your money basically doubles every seven years. When you haven't invested in an index fund, I would have started saving or investing when I was 16 years old, if I would have known that and I did it. But I have talked about it, and I think it's like my obligation and my duty to talk about it, that you should put something in a long and you got to think about it. It's a long-term plan. A long-term plan is. Hey, you know what? I'm going to take $100 and I'm going to save it every paycheck. You won't even miss it. Guys, I promise you won't even miss it. That's why I love Acorn so much because it takes your spare change and invests it. You will never see it. You will never miss it.
