Personal finance blog I Will Teach You To Be Rich has an interesting post about personal investments, with a few good examples of things not normally considered to be investments, but that have paid off thoroughly over time (either monetarily or otherwise). The post sparked an idea for me, and I feel the desire to share my best personal investment here with all of you.
I think my best personal investment was buying the domain name for this blog, and the time I’ve put into researching and writing about the various topics I’ve covered. The last few months, I’ve learned a lot, especially about myself, and I feel like I have a cheap form of therapy and education right here. I don’t mind that this blog has not yet taken off; I’m just happy I get to meet all of you interesting folks who comment here.
What has been your best personal investment? Did you spend time, money, or something else?

The best investment I’ve ever made was my car. It was old and seemingly not in great condition when I bought it eight years ago, but it’s still going.
I think my best investment was when I was in college, I spent all my time writing blog posts for a computer networking blog.
The blog has been on auto-pilot for years and is still making a ton of great Adsense revenue. Perhaps I should look into writing for it again :-)
very informative and helpful post thanks for sharing it with us…my best invest was when I bought my own house….
