The Best Investment You Can Make In Your 20's

You’ve probably heard it all before: “Crypto that’s going to 1000000x,” “stocks that will make you millions in 50 years,” or “real estate is the future investment.” Bla bla bla.

There’s a big problem with these speculations: they’re volatile, you’re not in control, and there’s no consistency.

They can lead to wealth, but there’s no guarantee they won’t fail, or that you even know how to use them, metaphorically.

So, what’s the best investment you can make as a young adult?

The S&ME500, aka yourself. It might sound corny, and you probably wanted something tangible to invest in, but it’s true: the best investment you can make is in yourself—your body, mind, and wellbeing.

Why? You’re in control. These investments stick with you for life, compound over time, and give you the best return.

So, how can you invest in yourself? Here are a few ways:

Network

You’ve heard it before: your network is your net worth. It’s about who you know, not what you know. The people around you shape who you become.

Skills

Skills define your worth. If you want to make more money, developing and improving your skills is a straightforward solution.

Experiences

Experiences shape you. The experiences you have form you into the person you will become.

Takeaways:

The best investment you can make in your 20s is yourself. Investing in your skills, experiences, and network is crucial for your future.

Once you’ve made these investments, then you can look at other options.

Side Note:

These investments won’t pay off instantly. They’re seeds that need nurturing and time to blossom.

Remember, the journey to success starts with small and consistent steps. By focusing on self-investment, you’re building a strong foundation for your future. Don’t rush the process, take your time and enjoy the growth. You are your greatest asset, and the returns on investing in yourself will be invaluable.

Stay motivated, stay curious, and keep investing in your greatest asset—you!

Best regards,

Your Better Self
