Investment today - 082/100 -

I invested in two assets, the S&P 500 and gold. The charts above show their performance. The pop-up indicates the day I bought them.

I hope my investments will bring me returns someday.

I would like my next career to be one that earns foreign currency (dollars). Japan's national power has been declining recently, and earning yen in Japan is inefficient and risky. However, I need to improve my English skills. My TOEIC score was around 400. In addition, it would be preferable to be self-employed. One of my children has a developmental disorder. Considering his future, leaving a business where we can work together would be a risk hedge. In order to be self-employed overseas, I must improve my English skills above all else. Next, I will find connections and work in the country where I will be working (Australia is the most likely candidate), and eventually become independent. How do I learn English?
