mit der Zeit haben meine Frau und ich etwas Geld gespart und wir haben gelernt, dass es sinnvoll wäre, das Geld zu investieren. Damals war einfach in, Aktien zu kaufen und egal was man kaufte, stieg tendenziell der Depot, schnell als man glaubte. Dadurch neigte man mehr Risiko in Kauf zu nehmen, bis irgendwann mal der Börsen-Crash kam.
Heute würde ich immer noch sagen, dass man langfristig mit Aktion bessere Renditen erzielen können, als mit anderen Anlagenformen. Doch muss man viel Zeit investieren, um das Geschäft mit Aktien zu verstehen. Man muss Nerven haben und viel Geduld. Persönlich neigen wir doch Aktien ab. Warum?
Weil die Zeit, womit ich nicht mit Aktien beschäftigen muss, benutze ich aus meiner Sicht viel sinnvoller. Ich lebe mehr, lerne mehr Sachen, die mir Spaß machen, kreiere Dinge, die anderen nutzen könnten. Das ist für mich mehr wert als dafür zu sorgen und zuzusehen, wie das Geld wächst.
Denn Leben ist einfach, wie man die Zeit verbringt und mit Inhalt füllt.

Three Dimensions of Luxury
When people talk about Luxury, they usually talk about money and all the nice, expensive things money can buy: cars, jewelleries, houses, resorts, yachts, cigars, champagnes, golf clubs and parties. Money is really a good thing. However it is just one dimension of luxury.
The second dimension of the luxury is the time. People who have money, but no time to enjoy the life, because they have to spend all their time to earn the money, are actually poor people. Real luxury therefore starts with abundance of time. Women understand it better than man. They sometime just take hours shopping, not necessarily to buy anything, but to enjoy the time.
The third dimension of the luxury is the emotional freedom. You are free to go to an expensive restaurant, but also free to choose to go McDonalds for a junk food. You are free to get close to a friend, but also free to be happy without him or her. You are free from any negative emotions, but also free to accept them, when they are there occasionally. You are emotional independent from your spouse and kids, but free to love them deeply. You are free to make your boss or customer successful, but also free to leave them, if you decide to.
When you reach all three dimensions of luxury, then there is nothing you will regret when the time comes for you to leave the world, with an eternal smile on your face, completely free.
