People get weirded out when I throw the word investment around... Although I gotta admit when people buy something silly and call it an "investment." To me, Investment means you have to have some return on it. If the item or thing doesn't give you any value, Or doesn't promise value. It's not an investment. # People underestimate relationships. # I hate relationships these days; They aren't taken as seriously as they were back in the day. People have no problem playing head games for years at a time, Never revealing their true intentions overall. Many of us are concerned about being successful in life and saving our money. But out of every aspect of our life that we DO ANALYZE. We forget a very important area. OUR RELATIONSHIPS.

# Relationships can drain us in every way. # I originally wanted to talk about romantic relationships, But the more I think about it, Much of this information applies to all relationships. Relationships can be a waste of time, Sure we may learn a lot from experience. But so many people enter a relationship without thinking of their overall goals for the outcoming, Or progress in which the relationship should take. **Goals for relationships... What the hell?!** Maybe you are more traditional in a sense that you would like to eventually settle down and marry, Which means the types of relationships you should stick with, Should have those similar goals. Otherwise it won't work, And instead, that relationship will be an endless pit of pain and circles of fights. It's silly that many people will date some one that they aren't even compatible with, Hoping they can some how change them.

## People DON'T CHANGE! ## sure, People can change overtime, On their own. Gradually.. But it seems as though the more you push, The more reluctant they are to change. It's better to find someone who is more compatible with you. # Millionaires and Marriage. # I always like to look into what millionaires are doing, Because the majority of millionaires today " 70% ". Originally came from the working class, According to Tax foundation.org Here are some surprising statistics.

As you can see, Being in a relationship and married, increases your chances for wealth. Your relationship is an investment. # It doesn't work out for everyone! # This is another reason that it's important to treat your love life as an investment, You've probably heard the "don't put all your eggs in one basket." And by saying that I'm not necessarily saying you should cheat on your lover, I Mean I can't disagree that it would heighten your chances of being successful and finding the perfect partner, But It's not always considered the most ethical approach. When you don't "put all your eggs in one basket." in the relationship. That means you are being self-sufficient and ensuring that you also have the resources to provide for yourself. As shown in the charts, having two working people who provide equal value, Can cause a massive rise in income in the relationship.

# Choose the right person! # Of course, it also comes down to choosing the right person. If you pick someone who is obsessed with shopping, this may cause issues. It's better to pick someone who likes to budget and learn about investing. Choosing the correct partner can ensure your success in the long run. ## This doesn't just relate to financial matters. ## It's important to look at all aspects of your relationship investment, Not just your financial life, Obviously dating someone who constantly tears you down is not smart either, it will gradually destroy you overtime, leaving you empty. Having a positive relationship can change the entire course of your life, That is why it's important to exercise caution on who you spend your time with. You may regret it later.
