Invest In Yourself And The Tools You Need

Everyone should know that self-reliance is an admirable virtue.  These days it is also  a great investment. How many times do you need to unclog a toilet without calling a plumber before that $20 EZ plumbing book and $60 set of hand tools pay for themselves?

The tools are the primary subject of this article.  Normal people who work for a living and still have have a little money wonder how best to invest it.  Only the very lucky and very clever have seen anything but flat returns over the past ten years.  Account for inflation, and your investment portfolio, in all likelihood, has shown negative returns.

It is possible to beat this seemingly endless bear market by doing it yourself. I'm not talking about firing your broker; I'm talking about fixing your own sink.

People are foolish about money becaus they don't understand it, often confusing it with value and wealth. If you sink $100 into a bond, it might return five percent a year for a few years or it might not. That five percent might not even be enough to cover inflation.  Those who invest in stocks are basically gambling nowadays because who understands how a company might cook its book.  Nobody really knows how to value even blue-chip companies these days, even expert investors.

You know what is worth something, what will always be worth something? Your own work and your own know-how.  Those are your best investments.  Let's say the hand tool set mentioned above cost $100. Use it twice, and most likely you've doubled your investment. Plumbers do not work cheap. If you use that tool kit to fix your friend's sink and your friend provides you with a lifetime supply of tomatoes from their garden out of pure gratitude, your investment is in the black -- on just a couple of uses.  Imagine the return over a ten-year period! That $100 tool kit could pay for itself a dozen times.  Show me any other investment that returns 1200 percent over a ten-year period.

Take my advice:  Do not squander your money on some investment vehicle of dubious value. Invest in yourself.  Buy the tools you need to add real wealth to the world.

I can recommend a great hand tool kit, but anything can be a tool, even a guitar.

i mean i know im clinging on to the past but
which yankee players since 96 do you miss the most?

Since 1996, I would have to go with Bernie Williams. Solid all around player with lots of class. Could really deliver in the clutch. Also, Paul O'Neill who always gave 100%.

Prior to that, being the old man that I am...I miss "The Mick", "The Scooter", Roger & Yogi. Also the gutsy Martin when he played. Prior to that, "The Yankee Clipper", Johnny Mize, "Old Reliable" Tommy Henrich and their other great clutch hitter, Gene Woodling.
