7 Investments That Will Make You Richer, Wiser, and Happier
If there is one thing I regret in life,
it is never learning about investment earlier.
Investing is one of the best skills that will take your life to another level.
You save time, make better decisions, and think long-term.
Generational wealth is created through investment.
The best investments don’t show returns overnight.
They grow like seeds, nurtured by time, commitment, and patience.
Trust the process, and one day, you’ll look back, richer in every way.
Here are the 7 investments that will improve your life:
1. Invest in your health
This might seem unimportant to people in their 20s or 30s,
but it catches up to you in your 40s, 50s, and 60s.
Your health isn’t just wealth—it’s your foundation.
• Eat a nourishing diet that fuels your goals.
• The gym isn’t just for looks—it’s for confidence and energy.
• Cut ties with toxic people for your mental peace.
Think about it: a healthy mind and body can take you places
that money can’t.
Train and maintain a healthy body not because I said it
or the doctor preaches it, but because you want it.
2. Invest in Your Circle
The people you surround yourself with matter more than your mindset.
They affect your daily life subconsciously.
Yes, friends are investments—who you hang with shapes your mind.
Stick with friends who are ambitious, hungry for a better life,
obsessed with self-improvement, and who share similar goals.
Avoid those whose main agenda is gossip or complaint;
they’re the ones who leave you mentally poorer.
Surround yourself with builders, not breakers.
You need friends who inspire you with their way of living
and those who open your mind.
That’s one of the most important investments you will ever make.
3. Invest in Experiences
Travel, learn a new skill, talk to new people, explore the unknown,
and get out of your comfort zone.
Always choose experiences over material possessions.
They’ll always leave a mark, even if they’re not Instagram-worthy.
I always travel to at least two new countries or places every year,
and the journey always surprises me.
Learn to live life, not just exist.
Seek discomfort—it’s the only way growth happens.
A bonus: a study from the University of Texas at Austin
has reported that people who choose experiences
over possessions report greater happiness, satisfaction, and connection,
as experiences create lasting memories, foster social bonds,
and become part of one’s identity.
Genuinely, we don’t need a study to know this.
People are manipulated by social media to spend more money
on the next shiny product.
4. Invest in Books
Books open worlds that money can’t buy.
Every book opens a new door.
Wealth isn’t just earned, it’s learned.
Find books that spark ideas, give you new perspectives,
or teach things nobody talks about.
Your wisdom grows as you read.
Additional tip: read old books, and you will discover a lot of gems.
Shocking your mind with new information from time to time
is healthy for the ego.
5. Invest in your appearance
Yes, your looks matter.
This isn’t about vanity; it’s about presence.
• When you feel good in your skin, it shows in your actions.
• Your appearance is the first introduction before you even say a word.
Confidence is an investment that multiplies every time you step
into a room, attracting opportunities effortlessly.
6. Invest in a side hustle, real estate, and stocks
Apart from your job, which is the main source of your income,
always create a side hustle that generates extra income.
Use the profit and extra cash you have to invest in stocks
that yield a good return over the next 5–10 years.
Real estate will always be one of your best investments.
Consult your financial advisor on this matter.
If you don’t have one, watch Dave Ramsey videos on YouTube.
7. Invest in solitude
Strange, right? But think about it…when was the last time you embraced complete silence?
In today’s busy world, moments of silence aren’t just rare; they’re essential.
Take a 5-minute silence break every day.
Right…but what’s in it? Exactly, clarity, peace, and a sharper mind.
