Of course, stocks are gambling, but I like to think of it as Vegas gambling, but where I can have far better odds by researching the company.

I'm going to the casino today actually,  but I researched the last 100 spins of the roulette wheel, so I'm feeling pretty confident about my bets.

I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.
