You see commercials and ads for investing, 401k’s, retirement, wealth planning and so on but few rarely think of the time they spend investing in a career they are not wild about or being with people with whom they have little in common.  It’s easier to invest money in a mutual or ETF fund than it is to double down on the things in life that bring the greatest fulfillment returns.

It is easy to track a bank balance, but much harder to quantify the “yield” of a meaningful workday or a compatible social circle. Many stay in lackluster careers because they feel they’ve already “invested” too many years to walk away, effectively throwing good time after bad.

We treat our money as our most precious resource, but it’s actually our time and energy that are our greatest investments.

“Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
