The last few weeks have seen incredible opportunities, if you’re willing to step outside your comfort zone. In this article, I’ll show you three areas that I invested in over the past month.
Some of these are traditional assets like stocks. Others investments are more personal. No matter what, they all offer incredible returns in the long-run.
First, a quick summary for anyone who doesn’t like reading.
Here’s What I Invested In
- Stocks and assets — About $12,000 of my money went into buying discounted shares of individual companies and ETFs. My biggest purchases were ADM, O, VYM, and T.
- New business ventures — Online business has gotten a lot cheaper over the years. Between Medium, Twitter, and YouTube, you can start most ventures for free. That said, making a few strategic investments will greatly improve your output. I upgraded my Medium account for $5 / month and started using Hypefury (referral link to free 14-day trial) for my Twitter accounts.
- Books and learning — Knowledge is opportunity. I used the recent quarantine to read more and listen to several Audible titles.
Now, here’s an expanded look at each category.
