No One's Crazy

No One's 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.

We all do crazy stuff with money because we're all relatively new to this game and what looks crazy to you might make sense to me. But no one is crazy, we all make decisions based on our own unique experiences that seem to make sense to us in a given moment.

Never Enough

Never Enough

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.

Happiness, as it's said, is just results minus expectations.

Getting Wealthy vs. Staying Wealthy

Getting Wealthy vs. Staying Wealthy

Good investing is not necessarily about making good decisions. It's about consistently not screwing up.

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. 

If I had to summarize money success in a single world it would be "survival".

Controlling your time 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.

Wealth is What You Don't See

Wealth is What You Don't See

Spending money to show people how much money you have is the fastest way to have less money.

There is no faster way to feel rich than to spend lots of money on really nice things. But the way to be rich is to spend money you have, and not to spend money you don't have, It's really that simple.

It's hard and requires self-control. But it creates a gap between what you could do and what you choose to do that accrues to you over time.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
