“I would say more than any material financial goals like buying a house, buying a car, funding a child’s education, my biggest financial goal was to gain some amount of independence, some amount of mental security. My investment portfolio has done just that. My worst investment in a way came in the first couple of years where I invested into bonds because I wanted to save tax but from a slightly longer term perspective, that did not provide the returns which the other asset class like equity has provided.”
