An Investment in Happiness

While the finncial markets churn my stomach, and there is no safe haven to protect our financial assets, I've decided the best place to focus my energy is the football field. So I've taken to coaching my sons flag football team. What a great experience.

While my 401k and mutual funds have no upside, the investments of time and energy into these kids pays huge dividends...daily. Whether I'm at home burping the baby, or in a meeting figuring out how to save the world...the one thing I can depend on is thinking about the things these kids do...and knowing I can smile about it.

So I've refocused my retirement planning efforts. I've decided to make sure my son becomes the #1 Draft pick of 2024. Compared to giving more money to Fidelity...planning on a pipe dream like my son being drafted into the NFL is ALMOST A SURE THING!!! So check out this video....notice the sweet cut back to the center of the field...and how he never stops his legs from moving...he almost broke this one...maybe next week.

Maybe IMG wants to get in on this prospect a bit early...now that's an investment worth making!!
