Things to invest in
Regardless of the day it is wherever you’re reading this, happy Tuesday!
First of all, I’m most likely the closest I’ve been to missing a newsletter in the past month because there might be some interesting news in your inboxes soon enough. Stay tuned.
Until then, let’s go at it:
You are driving down the road on a very stormy night. You come by a bus stop where you see 3 people:
An old lady who looks like she’s feeling unwell
An old friend who once saved your life
The love of your life
Your car can only fit 1 passenger. What do you do?
One answer, as usual, at the end.

Our relationship with money is fucked
One of the wisest things I ever learned is to invest in things you spend a lot of time with, since that will significantly increase your quality of life.
Sleep a lot? We all do. Invest in an amazing mattress.
On your phone a lot? Get that expensive flagship phone.
Always hacking away at your laptop? Get the best piece you can afford.
Into a certain sport or any activity you constantly do? Make sure to have the best gear.
Investing in the quality of your life will help you instinctively build on those things so you can keep adding valuable things to your “portfolio” called life.
However, in this scenario, valuable things are things that actually improve the quality of your life.
So don’t say you’re splurging every time you buy something that seems out of your budget zone. It’s only overspending if it’s something you’re not going to use a lot of time.
But if you spend a lot of time with it & it increases the quality of that time spent by even 5%, it’s a great investment.
Looking at things this way should change your outlook on spending money.
Answer: You let your friend and the old lady take your car. You sit in the bus stop with the love of your life. Happy Pixar ending for all.
