Stock Market and Me - A Walk Down Memory Lane

So learning about the stock market started at a young age for me.  Officially, I started having money in the stock market some time in junior high school. It first started by going to a bank getting introduced to the investment side of the bank branch.  And from there I started investing in mutual funds that tracked the index, bond funds and monthly income funds.  At that time, the idea of investing in stocks sounded scary (and in hindsight, rightly so as trading costs were high, and with the capital I had, it wasn't enough to have diversification). Then in 2007, cashed out of the stock market to purchase property.  While it seemed logical at the time, the timing of the purchase was right before the housing market crashed - making the property I bought suffer a huge loss on paper.  This would cast a big shadow and would delay my (re)-entry back into real estate. From that point on, for quite a few years, I had stayed mainly in the stock market as my go to investment choice.

Gambling at a Casino. The House Has the Odds

So at one point in my life, I did an experiment.  What if I tried to make $200 every day at the casino.  It shouldn't be hard right (given in the past, when I was playing for fun it was easy to leave the casino up)… To make a long story short - this was a failed experiment.  The house always has the edge.  You will hear stories of people making a lot of money on one night.  But what you don't hear or see is that the next night or the night before they lost twice or thrice that amount.  It is quite a vicious cycle and not something to fool around with. Very few people actually turn a profit in the long run.  In this 10 month long experiment, I have only met one person out of hundreds who actually had a positive record (when you are there 6 to 8 hours a day, and 12 hours+ on the weekend, you see a lot of people).  I would dare to say the time I spent at a casino in these 10 months is probably more than a lot of folks in their lifetime. It takes extreme discipline

Work Benefits - Choosing the 'Right' Gym Membership

Gym memberships...  Keeping healthy and working out is important.  If your employer offers you membership into a super fancy gym (say it would cost $100 a month that the company would pay for - but you get taxed on this .. aka $240/year cost to you) vs. giving you money (say $800 a year), which one would you take?   Some would take the super fancy gym, but do you really need all that is offered there to keep yourself healthy?  A 'regular' gym membership is about $30 a month.  Comparing the two,     Going with the fancy gym plan = Costs you $240 (assuming 20% tax)     Going with regular gym = You get back $440 a year So think a little bit about what you really need before you sign up for it.
