The Psychology of Money - Review

 

    

    Success is mostly recognized by how much money one earns in one's life. But success is also about what one does with the hard-earned money. In fact, monetary success is about what one does to use money mindfully. The book "Psychology of money" does give an insight about the same...

    The top takeaways from the book can be;-

  • Respect your money - don't take it for granted.
  • Never take the monetary risks that can make you/your family into zero.
  • Compounding - it works only when you give enough time. It demands your patience.
  • The probability of your success is the same as the probability of your peers' success. Luck can interfere sometimes and that doesn't mean you cannot or should not do your best.
  • You can just save money for the sake of saving - without any reason.
  • Just a question - "What do you own? Why do you own them?"

    When coming to the book, it is pretty simple and short; No complex formulae or logic behind the author's words. If you are a beginner in finance in terms of investments, stocks, etc., you may feel discomfort at a few moments.

    They are from the examples the author uses for a better understanding. Yeah, in the end, you get what the author wanna say even if you could not understand the word-to-word meaning. However, the book is not to teach those terms; it is to discuss how money can affect us-The Psychology of money, indeed...

Bye-bye strict timetables...! - The Bloggers League 2022

     Author: Rama Subrahmanyam (ramasubrahmanyam.m@gmail.com) When we are planning for multi-tasking, we divide our time and allocate it for each task. That is a great thing, as it gives a chance for incremental growth, eventually getting compounded...      Scheduling makes us punctual; sometimes forces us to be punctual if someone is counting on us, say an examination, office meeting, so on...      Besides strict things, some activities should happen at planned times, like sports, gym, etc. But, we still have things, that can be done in our free time - say reading books, solving puzzles, or learning something of our passion.

We get used to a task at the same time if we have a strict timetable; In a way, can also affect our peace... Suppose due to urgent work, we missed a task      -  We may develop a bad feeling,    ...

How can we become narrow-minded people without realising it?

In science, whenever we observe a novel event, we start sharpening our brains to decode it. We make a couple more observations related to that event, and try to get a reason for it. It was also the same with the previous generation of scientists. They observed various new phenomena and they gathered as much information as possible to get the accurate reason behind them. But there was a problem with the human mind. In the past days, when there was limited information at hand and more time was required for getting new information, scientists had to make the best possible theories (i.e., explanations) with whatever data was available. It was like a competition, where the scientist with the best theory would win. This "winner" scientist, should be able to explain the data from future experiments with the theory. Consider that, a new experiment happened later, but the results were not explained by the theory of our scientist, then the theory was to be changed, and again the compet...
