Investing

My husband and I are starting to look into investing. Sure it’s not “ideal” timing since money is kind of tight with Josh still in school, but we want to set ourselves up for the future.

This desire of ours, has shown me a pretty funny difference between the two of us.

I am a 100% dreamer. If something looks good/sounds good, or I can start to see dollar signs, I am all for giving it a try. I figure, high-risk means high-reward. Josh is absolutely not on that train with me. He needs to know his investments will pay off and be good decisions so he investigates things to death.

His need to do the research is a great balance to my “shoot from the hip” personality. But that also leads to us having some drawn out discussions. Since he is far more skeptical than I am, most of our decisions on future spending boil down to one of us needing to persuade the other to see our point of view.

Thankfully, I have a really great track record on making good “shoot from the hip” financial decisions.

When I first joined Nerium, Josh didn’t really believe in it. 

Well, ladies and gentlemen, 2 free, all-inclusive vacations, a FREE Lexus, and plenty of money later, my investment clearly payed off.

As we continue investigating the world of investing, I know we will continue to understand the art of compromise and learn more about how we think when it comes to money. It’s an exciting time, and I can’t wait to see where we land on investing.
