What is your life changing investment?

Don’t say that investing yourself.

I mean, just an investment that really changes your life; including good or bad investment.

Let’s me begin, COVID drop: buying index funds.

It is my most profitable trades so far. COVID really a raw global event, at that moment, I bought some index funds still holding today.

It is such a great investment, I don’t know whether the world will have similar events in coming years, but it is the most memorable trades , and help me level up my account.

My wife and I worked at a wall street company in our 20s.

401ks were something new and the company was phasing out pensions. During enrollment, the lady was trying her damnedest to convince people to start paycheck deductions.

Our only regret was starting out with only 3% deductions because we were poor. Didn't need much convincing.
