Hey
friends welcome back to the channel and today we talking about 7 lessons about
money form this fantastic book called The Phycology of Money
Alright
the 1 is
1) Everyone has different attitudes towards money and
no one is Crazy
“Your personal experiences with money make up maybe 0.00000001%
of what’s happened in the world, but maybe 80% of how you think the world
works.”
“Every decision people make with money is justified by taking the
information they have at the moment and plugging it into their unique mental
model of how the world works.”
“People do
some crazy things with money. But no one is crazy. Here’s the thing:
People from different generations, raised by different parents who earned
different incomes and held different values, in different parts of the world,
born into different economies, experiencing different job markets with
different incentives and different degrees of luck, learn very
different lessons.”
2)
Don’t underestimate the
importance of Luck
Here the Luck and risk are both the
reality that every outcome in life is guided by forces other than individual
effort. They both happen because the world is too complex to allow 100% of your actions to
dictate 100% of your outcomes.”
“They are
driven by the same thing: You are one person in a game with seven billion other
people and infinite moving parts. The accidental impact of actions
outside of your control can be more consequential than the ones you consciously
take.“
3)
Learn to say enough
“Life
isn’t any fun without a sense of enough. Happiness, as it’s said, is just results minus expectations.”
·
“The hardest financial skill is getting the goalpost to stop moving. But it’s one of the most
important. If expectations rise with results there is no logic in striving for
more because you’ll feel the same after putting in extra effort. It gets
dangerous when the taste of having more—more money, more power, more prestige—increases
ambition faster than satisfaction.”
4)
Appreciate the magic of compounding
“If something compounds—if a little growth serves as the
fuel for future growth—a small starting base can lead to results so extraordinary they
seem to defy logic. It can be so logic-defying that you underestimate what’s
possible, where growth comes from, and what it can lead to.”
“$81.5
billion of Warren Buffett’s $84.5 billion net worth came after his 65th
birthday. Our minds are not built to handle such absurdities.”
“His skill
is investing, but his secret is time. That’s how compounding works.”
5)
Use money to buy a freedom
:
“The ability to do what you want, when you want, with who
you want, for as long as you want, is priceless. It is the highest dividend money pays.“
·
“The highest form of wealth is the
ability to wake up every morning and say, ‘I can do whatever I want today.’ People
want to become wealthier to make them happier. Happiness is a complicated subject because everyone’s different.
But if there’s a common denominator in happiness—a universal fuel
of joy—it’s that people want to control their lives.”
“More
than your salary. More than the size of your house. More than the prestige of
your job. Control over doing what you want, when you want to, with
the people you want to, is the broadest lifestyle variable that makes people
happy.“
6)
Save money as much as you can
“Building wealth has little to do with your income or
investment returns, and lots to do with your savings rate.”
“Personal
savings and frugality—finance’s conservation and efficiency—are parts
of the money equation that are more in your control and have a 100%
chance of being as effective in the future as they are today.”
7)
Getting Wealthy vs. Staying
Wealthy
“There are a million ways to get wealthy … but there’s only one way to stay wealthy:
some combination of frugality and paranoia.”
“Good
investing is not necessarily about making good decisions. It’s about
consistently not screwing up.“
“If I had to summarize money success in a single word it would be ‘survival.'”
“Getting
money requires taking risks, being optimistic, and putting yourself out there.
But keeping money requires the opposite of taking risk. It requires
humility, and fear that what you’ve made can be taken away from you just as
fast. It requires frugality and an acceptance that at least some of what you’ve
made is attributable to luck, so past success can’t be relied upon to repeat
indefinitely.”
