WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER IS YOUR GREATEST INVESTMENT?

Investing in yourself.

Many people think that the largest invest­ment they have is their retirement savings plan, or perhaps a house or cottage.

But the biggest investment is really you. The in­come, wages and salary you will earn over the next 10, 20 or 30 years of work­ing life can be viewed as coupons.

You and your earn­ing capacity are the bond.

Or, think-of yourself as a gold mine or oil well with
decades of remaining reserves.

The safer or more secure your job, the bigger the bond quotient.
