RE: Backing the future horse

in LeoFinance4 years ago

Some things in life should be analyzed outside of the financial concept. ROI may be a good indicator in certain context but that is not the absolute metric. What if owning a real estate where you want to retire gives you a stable state of mind that cannot be valued by a financial metric.
It is a classic case of not being able to commodify a non-commodity. Investing in yourself can take different shape and form that goes beyond the realm of typical financial investment. I feel survival is key and we will manage to do something with our life and will be able to support our offspring in whatever way we can. Long term is "key" to financial freedom. And, we will never have enough money - I think.

It could be because I never had enough money 😂

Yes - What is the ROI on smoking for relaxation, or one night stands? I wonder if we were to look at the value of what we do and the expected outcome in comparison to the actual outcome, perhaps we would do something different.

I think for example investing into a child means to spend time understanding oneself and probably, become what is healthy for both parent and child. Investment is far more than financial.

I strongly agree that financial gains are really important to make your life relatively easy. But, that's not the only motive we should have.
