“Sometimes it isn’t an instant hit where [the price] just goes up like that, but if you wait another two or three years, chances are it would go up.”
Another of her newer obsessions is Rolex watches. While $21,500 might seem like a steep price for a timepiece, Germaine shares that her Rolex Cosmograph Daytona has appreciated since she bought it a year ago, and is worth upwards of $30,000 today.
But the investment that has brought the most satisfaction would likely have to be the landed home she purchased last year. It’s worth over $5 million in the market today, she says.
The family home houses Germaine, her husband, their two kids, and their parents, and is a “dream come true”.
Able to support her family – and then some – things are “pretty awesome” for her now, she tells us.
Looking back at the past, she says she’s glad it happened when it did.
“I think it’s great that we make such mistakes at a young age – you don’t have so much to lose yet.
“If my story does help one person, then I think it’s enough. Because we just need to focus on the good, and it will come back to you tenfold.”
