Learning a second language is one of the greatest ways you can invest in yourself. You'll have greater career opportunities and you'll open yourself up to other cultures. You really see the world in a new way when you become bi-lingual. It's unfortunate more Americans aren't. I have to second the above comment.

I particularly agree with the side business. It's great to have several streams of income. It's insurance against a rainy day to have money coming in from several sources if one or two jobs don't work out. Even selling items on ebay can be a side business!

The world moves so fast nowadays - who could have foreseen that computer knowledge I picked up years ago - would be SO valuable years later? Ot that TYPING would be such a valuable skill.... But at the time, increasing my level of computer skills DID help me make a bit more $. Also, keeping up with new technologies can give you an edge, especially if you are a boomer.

I thought about it long and hard while sitting in traffic wondering where all my time has gone. As much as it was hard to write the emails to the people/organizations I signed up to volunteer I felt more in control of my life, where it was going and most importantly my time. Thanks for inspiring some significant changes! Your post was good food for thought! I thought about it long and hard while sitting in traffic wondering where all my time has gone.

I do a few but hadn't thought of it as investing in myself. That sounds even better than "side projects" and the like. :-) I like these. I do a few but hadn’t thought of it as investing in myself.
