📖 THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY
An insightful exploration of how emotions, behaviors, and biases shape our financial decisions.
🔥 Big Idea: Wealth is more about behavior than how much you make. Your money mindset, patience, and decisions shape your financial future.
💡 Why It Matters: Even high earners can go broke if they don’t manage money wisely. Good financial habits are more crucial than income.
✅ Action Step: Automate savings before spending. Set up automatic transfers to save first and avoid impulsive spending.
🤔 Hot Take: The biggest financial risk is you. Personal behavior, not external factors, is often the main threat to your wealth.
The U.S. once had a $100,000 bill.
Even governments print money they can't spend at the local grocery store.
Don't aim for money that's too big to use.
Focus on practical wealth you can actually enjoy.
How To Find Wealth Without Losing Time?
I came across a Facebook post about the definition of wealth, and it got me thinking.
For me, true wealth is time freedom—the ability to choose how to live and love.
When we chase money, we're really chasing time, the one thing we can't get back.
The key is balance—don’t sacrifice precious moments with loved ones in the pursuit of wealth.
Reminds me of the story where a boy asks his dad how much he earns per hour, then offers his savings to buy an hour of his time.
What does wealth mean to you and how would you build it?
If building wealth were easy, we’d all be sipping piña coladas on a private island by now.
But since that’s not the case, the next best thing is taking consistent action—whether it’s investing, saving, or finding new income streams.
Just remember: financial freedom isn’t about depriving yourself, it’s about playing the game strategically.
And in this game, compound interest is your best friend, and impulse purchases are your sneaky little enemies.
Stay sharp!
