Honestly does it really matter all that much? For me, I have decided that friends and family are the most important part of my life. Does it really matter if I don’t change the world or create something amazing? We generally don’t have cont

I believe your statement including real estate, startups, non-dividend stocks in this category is incorrect. They all have the potential to generate cash flow. Maybe not at the time of investment but at some point in the future. I work in i
