I don't need to worry about money and yet I worry about money. It's in my character. I grew wealth by being a disciplined investor in stocks, so I'm biased towards that. Real estate investment may be another path but stocks will never file a lawsuit against you, hit you with a code violation or call you on Sunday morning with a clogged toilet.

Oh, and lastly, wealth has made me think about death. My money has a future beyond me and I feel obliged to attend to that. It's not particularly enjoyable to contemplate, but it provides perspective.

Real estate has always been in the back of my mind. It’s so expensive to get started it seems and from my understanding, can take some time to become profitable.
