There is a huge problem with these speculations, and that is that they are volatile, you are ultimately not in control of them, and there is no consistency with any of them. They are vehicles that can carry you to wealth, but there's no guarantee that they won’t break down or that you even know how to drive them In the first place, metaphorically.

The S&ME500, aka yourself Now, It sounds corny, and you probably wanted something that you could walk away from after this email and put your money into, but it's true: the best investment you can make is in yourself, your body, mind, and wellbeing for countless different reasons, but just to name a few:

You’re in control; these are investments that will stick with you throughout your entire life; they will compound with time and give you the best return possible.

To give you some actionable tips on what direction you can go from here, here are a few ways you can invest in yourself.

Network

You’ve heard it before, but your network is most definitely your net worth because it's who you know, not what you know, and the people you surround yourself with will mould and shape you into who you become. Therefore, it's crucial to invest in this: go to networking events and meetings; get yourself out there with the intention of meeting new people.

Skills

Skills should be a no-brainer because your skills define your worth; they define how much money you are worth, and if you want to make more money, developing and improving your skills is a straight-arrow solution for that. This can be investing in courses or some kind of education, whether that be online or not.

Experiences

Experiences are another crucial investment to make because the experiences you have in life are what form you into the person you will become. There's a big difference in the life skills, wisdom, and knowledge of the person who has travelled the world throughout his 20s and the person who has been stuck at home throughout his 20s.

ACTIONABLE NEXT STEPS:

Don’t be afraid to invest in yourself. It’s a difficult concept to get around because you’re not necessarily putting money in and getting it out, but it's a long game to play, one that has an indefinite return.
