What is an Investment?

Let's expand the concept of an investment beyond a stock, mutual fund or other piece of property. What about other important investments: An investment in your relationship with your significant other. An investment in your children. An investment in your health. An investment in your mind. Many of these things "pay off" in the future, but most do not actually cost very much.

Welcome!

Hello everyone, welcome to Investment Zen.  My vision is that this site is about a lot more than simply investing, but opens a dialogue that leads people to a healthy and balanced approach to investment ideas and our relationship with money.  In my opinion, money is energy and can be harnessed to do a lot of good in this world.  I hope to have fun, learn and help others be better stewards of their money for themselves, their families and ultimately our communities.
