Ep. 150 - 1,400 Shares of $VOO or a Backyard Paradise - Which Would You Choose?

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?   Check out my YouTube channel here.
