What would you rather have, 1) a backyard paradise or 2) an investment that pays dividends for life?

You probably need more context to truly answer this question.

I saw a lot of people on twitter talking about investments with VOO (Vanguard 500 Index Fund ETF), this prompted me to make a tweet of my own.

I tweeted a picture of our backyard which included our pool and the poorhouse / my YouTube studio. This was the caption ‘I could have bout 1400 shares of VOO but decided my backyard paradise was a better investment - lifetime memories = generational dividends.’

We decided that we wanted to invest some money into a pool which grew into a pool house, an interruption free studio for video recording, and some space for guests to stay when visiting.

We are very happy with our decision and we have already made so many memories in this space.

How about you?  Is there anything that you have purchased that you feel will have generational dividends for you and your family?

My returns should be phenomenal - like 2-3 times higher than the average investor.

Regardless, I am about to share my returns on not one but two M1 Finance accounts with you.

If you are in the process of trying to buy a house, you know how crazy it is right now.

Especially if you live in an area with a high demand, like here in Nashville, TN.

You are either paying way over market value or using some unconventional methods to find a house.

I want to share a story with you about a couple, friends of mine, that were searching for a house to purchase after moving to the Nashville area.

After months and months of working with a Realtor they were getting absolutely nowhere.

They finally found their dream home and you'll never believe how they did it.
