In Others’ Words: Personal Investment

Warren Buffett’s net worth is $75.6 billion — he’s #2 on Forbes’ list of “The 12 Notable New Billionaires of 2017.” Bill Gates is #1, if you’re curious. 

And yet, here’s a billionaire recommending investing in yourself rather then investing in stocks or bonds — even saying this investment is the best kind.

This past Sunday, my husband and I took the afternoon and drove up into the mountains to see the fall colors. We caught remnants of autumn — photographed glimpses of aspen trees and ducks and geese swimming along a mountain river. We alternated between taking pictures with our Canon camera and with our phone cameras. And we talked. About things we want to do. Things we need to do. You know — life. 

Those few hours away were an investment in ourselves. We came back rested, refreshed, and better prepared for the upcoming week, which is going to be even busier than usual.

And here’s the even bigger reality: we’ve talked about going to the mountains to see the fall colors for years. Years. And this is the year that we finally made the time to go.

In Your Words: How do you invest in yourself? And when was the last time you did it?
