The Best Investments You Can Make
November 15, 2017
When you look back on your life, there are certain investments that you made that you cringe with embarrassment. Some people just don’t always make the best decisions! There is that company that you were convinced that was going to become famous . . . and completely failed. Products that you believed would take over the world . . . that crashed and burned. Individuals who you truly believed in . . . who just did not have what it takes. It can be a little disheartening to consider all of the mistakes and problems that you have managed to get yourself into over time, but sometimes the best investments that you have made are not necessarily the financial ones.
For some people, their dental choices were the best investment that they ever made, which is a surprising thought for those who have not thought much about their teeth. When you have perfectly healthy teeth, you rarely think about what you would do if you suddenly did not have that, and so it can take people by surprise when they get told by their dentist that they need to consider having a dental treatment, such as getting a dental bridge. However, this can be an excellent choice because getting a dental bridge will prevent other teeth from falling out or moving around the gumline, and unlike other dental treatments, getting a dental bridge does not hurt in the slightest. Being able to eat, drink, talk, and laugh like normal after getting a dental bridge can really transform a person’s life, and it is not a financial investment, but a dental one.
Another type of investment that you can make and definitely consider an excellent one – that is nothing to do with money directly – is your education. Many people do not even bother attempting to stay in school when they are teenagers, and so spend a lot of their time truant, not bothering to turn up to class, ignoring what their teachers and professors are telling them, and not even caring about whether they do well in their exams or not. By simply trying, giving their education some importance, they can dramatically improve their future and increase their future earning potential, but they can do so without having to pay for a fancy expensive college. Just getting through high school sometimes is more than enough! Having the determination to invest in your education with your time, energy, and thoughts can often be a big step for a young person, but they never regret it.
Last but by no means least, you will never think that time spent investing in your personal relationships was time wasted, even if those relationships are not always easy. No one should expect them to be, especially if you have a long term partner, because both of you will change over time, and you will constantly have to re-assess how you can take care of each other, and how you can fall in love all over again. Time spent with the people that really matter will always be valuable because you cannot buy time; even the richest person in the world has the same number of hours in the day as you, and that means that the way that you spend this time says a lot about you. Make sure that you value the people in your life now, because not all of that time is going to be available to you forever. And it doesn’t cost a thing.
As you can see, money is not everything. There are many things out there that require you to invest in them, but they do not need to cost you anything, and you will never look back and wish that you had not bothered.
