Cool? Let's jump in!

1. Art:

Believe it or not, you can actually buy a fraction of a Picasso or a Banksy painting.

Fine art investing is on the rise and going mainstream.

@MasterworksIO is one of the leading platforms to purchase fine art today. You can check them out at mw-art.co/zainkahn

2. Startup equity:

Also known as angel investing.

Consists of buying stocks or options in a startup.

Some of the largest fortunes in the last decade have been amassed by angel investors.

@AngelList is a good place to learn more about startup investing.

3. REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts):

Can't afford to buy a whole house?

Don't want to manage a property yourself?

REITs are businesses that manage properties on behalf of investors and pay out the income to investors.

4. CDs (Certificate of Deposit)

CDs are usually offered by banks. You deposit a certain amount of money, and in return the bank pays you a certain amount.

CDs tend to be low return but also much lower risk compared to other assets.

5. Cryptocurrencies:

You've probably heard of them.

Digital currencies on the blockchains that have an enormous number of use cases.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are the most widely adopted cryptocurrencies.

You can purchase them on exchange platforms like @Coinbase and @Binance.

6. NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens):

Another asset from the crypto world.

While they come in many forms, the most popular NFTs are digital art that you can purchase and trade.

@Opensea is the most popular platform to buy and sell NFTs.

7. Yourself.

This might sound a bit cheesy.

But if you can't afford to invest in any of the assets above, the best investment you can make is in yourself.

Upgrade your skills and leverage them to generate more income, which you can eventually invest in other assets.
