What are your top two financial assets you need to protect for your long term financial well being? It's not your 401k. It's not your house. Believe it or not, it's your brain and your body. Because long term, keeping those two things strong and growing will be far and away the best thing that ever happened to your personal finances. Look at all the top financial retirement gurus in the world, people who give advice on retirement. How many of them have ever retired? By my count, none of them. Doesn't matter if they're 70, 80, 90, they're still using their brain, writing books, doing seminars, doing workshops, continuing to make money as long as they are alive. So do everything you can to improve your brain and improve your body for your long term financial health.
