How can you personalize your investments?
Personal investing is all about YOU--your goals, your resources, your circumstances, and your values and preferences. People often lose sight of this fundamental premise: They start by focusing on investment opportunities--but this is a recipe for getting overwhelmed and distracted. Instead, start by examining yourself. What are your human resources, your career plans, earning potential, entrepreneurial ability and ambitions? What do you value most? Are you willing to postpone consumption for later? What spending you consider essential? Your answers to these questions will shape the investment path that is right for you.
