Just do whatever brings you joy and happiness in life. Are you saying “investment” as in purchasing something for the purposes of it increasing in value? Sometimes a “good investment” is purchasing suitable equipment, knowing it will be well used and utilized. Investment in this case being a wise spending of money. I’ve certainly invested a lot of time learning this yoyo thing. I’ve also sunk serious dollars into it as well. Not complaining, just stating. Based on my enjoyment, it’s been a good investment of time and money into my own well being. ---

Yoyoing is a great hobby to learn. It is fairly easy to pick up and learn. Once you get the basics down, you can impress anyone! ---

Only researchers, and even then only temporarily (usually like, half a year). The winters are too cold for anyone to survive. anyone who says they live in Antarctica here, is joking. you would not believe how many times I’ve had to explain this to people. I, however, am a penguin. So I live there. 😛 ---

Yo-yoing in public breaks your comfort zone, and improves on you social skills and interaction with new people. It is a preforming art that enhances your brain into other forms of thought and ways of developing ideas and theories. Along with the already said eye hand coordination, it will improve your fine motor skills and keep you occupied. It doesn’t require batteries and can be used almost anywhere. Cheers, ---
