Investing isn’t supposed to make you nauseous and keep you up at night.  It’s supposed to be reliable, dependable, and most importantly, provide income while you are sleeping.  Although there is risk with any investment, I choose to look at possibilities where the playing field is not tilted against me.  Below are various alternative ideas you may want to consider.

(Note: I am not your financial advisor.  I may or may not have invested with these companies I have done an interview with.  I may or may not have lost my own money with these companies.  Please do your own research and understand your own risk tolerance with regards to these alternative asset classes.  This is intended to be a starting point about different options that are outside of Wall Street.

Finally, for some of these investments, one may need to be an accredited investor.  To define what is an accredited investor, please click here: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/accreditedinvestor.asp)
