A question I hear a lot is whether you’re passionate about your job, or if it’s mainly a way to pay the bills? For a lot of people I know, their work is their identity.. but for others it’s just a way to live on. Do you think work has to be a passion to be fulfilling? or is it enough that it supports the life you want outside of it?

I think I’d like to be passionate but at the end of the day, it’s just a job and I like to do my passions when I can outside of it

This is exactly my mindset to be honest

For me I need a job where I feel like I am contributing and bringing value to the team or organization, I want to be proud of the work I do, my husband just wants to show up and collect a paycheck and support the family. It’s different for everyone and that’s ok!

Yes exactly! I like the idea I make a difference somewhere but also very aware of how everyone has different views of their jobs

Thursday I got it in my head that I needed to hedge against potential Dollar devaluation. I looked at other market funds thinking them to be good proxies for other currencies.

I decided to pick up a few but saw the Baltic Index was going up, higher shipping rates means increased demand, so it pointed to the Chinese economy picking up significantly.

I looked at FXI, there was no option interest so they were super cheap. I figured I pick up a bunch.
