My Thoughts on Vacation and Investing Goals

Ahh... My facebook wall is being raped by vacation pictures of friends and acquaintances. This is the time of the year that's hard for me to resist. I love to go for a vacation, but when I think of the money I would spend in that vacation, makes me want to think about it twice. Its good to have some R & R every once in a while, but for the enterprising investor such as myself, I don't see the benefits of this in the long term. And I wouldn't feel any better even if I go to other places. I'm quite happy in life right now. The only thing that really makes me jump off my seat is the dividends that has been coming. I'm loving it.

The money spent on vacation can be very well invested so I can reach my goal faster. I want to use every bit of money as fuel to make compounding work more effectively. See this video about compounding:

Well, what a young investor to do in this kind of situation. Stuck in his chair looking at vacation pictures of friends... Well, we can use our imagination. A hot chick in white sand beach.
