Forget That 401K…Invest In Legos!

Let me start by saying this. I am not a financial expert. I can't brag about my portfolio. But when I read that you can get a better return on your money by buying Legos than investing in your 401K, I had to find out more. So here is your free financial advice for the day.

Lego continually retires sets. Once they're retired, you can't buy them anymore in stores. So naturally the value of those sets continue to rise as they become rarer and more valuble. In fact, the value goes up steadily at a rate of 12% a year! You can't get a rate of return like that on ANY investment!

Of course you can't open them up and play with them. They must remain sealed and in the box. And of course if the market drops out on them, like say Beanie Babies, you're officially out of luck. So ditch that 401K (kidding...) and go pick up so Legos today!
