An investment, no matter what it is, that fits your life style is your best investment.
Some people invest for fear (e.g., of becoming poor after retirement), and some people invest for greed (e.g., of maximizing profit from their every penny). I try to remind myself constantly that nothing is more important than the life itself. What I have and what I feel at this moment are not going to be here forever, enjoy them now. In the meantime, work for something I really love and want it happen in the future.
I have a high paying job, but after debating to myself back and forth for a year I made up my mind that I am going to give it up. I want to focus on RE investment, because its nature of flexible time allow me to enjoy my family time and my kids' activity. That is the most enjoyable thing for me in my current life stage.

Thank you for your support. I wrote this over 3 years ago for myself. After 3 years, I looked back, I am glad that I have had this wisdom 3 years before. It is so surprised and sad to see there are so many friends around me who go divorced in these 3 years. All of them are making multiple times of money than I do. However, they made money but lost life, because it looks to me that none of them are happier now than before. I can't say they divorced for money, but definitely having a lot of money changed them (personality, attitude, etc.) for bad.
