Investing in yourself might seem out of the question. You think of it as ‘burning cash” and can’t see the return.

But when you classify everything as an expense, it’s hard to see the right things as investments. You miss opportunities that come your way when you are only looking at one side of the equation.

But when you learn to value investments in yourself, the returns could be beyond anything you’ve imagined.

In this episode, you’ll learn 3 ways to invest in yourself without guilt (and nearly unlimited potential for growth).

Show highlights include:

  • Should we rethink the cost of renting over homeownership? [01:53]
  • Let’s expand the definition of investment. [05:20]
  • Gender investment gap revealed in a BlackRock survey. [06:40]
  • The opportunity cost of holding cash if you earn $100k  [07:38]
  • Finding value past the expense dilemma of self-care. [13:06]
  • Consider experiences as investments. [16:03]
  • How confident are you when allocating money to investments? [20:18]
