The Psychology of Money

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...

25 and Disappointed: Can’t we choose simple life?

There’s something strange about the way we live now. It’s not enough to do your job. You have to grow. Climb. Upskill. Network. Earn more. Spend more. Repeat. People areound you - even the ones who seem tired - still say, “Keep pushing.” The ones ahead keep reaching higher. The ones behind are told to catch up. And if you stand still for even a moment, they say you’re wasting time. But no one explains why. Why is a peace a problem? Why is being satisfied with what you have seen as a failure? This idea of “simple life” - it used to be normal. Work. Come home. Cook. Be with the people you love. Rest. Now it’s rare. Or romanticized. Or quietly looked down on. We’re told that success means constant movement. That we need to hustle, or we’ll be left behind. But behind what, really? We’ve normalized the rat race, without asking who started it. And the truth is - only a few can actuallly win it. Most people burn out trying. Others fake their way through it, smiling through st...

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. Should we also maintain the timetable in those cases...? Well, may not be that necessary... 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, ...

my fav quotes from my teachers

On the occasion of Teacher's day, I wanted to remember my fav teachers in school/teacher and their quotes that stayed fresh in my mind after many years. NOTE: I may not remember the exact words. These are just from my memory. Anyway, who cares? From my social sir in school:- When does a revolt rise? When people lose their patience. From my Sanskrit sir in jr. college:- There is no edge for knowledge. From my chemistry sir in jr. college:- No one wants to return from the death. Maybe death is very beautiful. Also from the same sir:- When you comb your hair, your focus should be on completely on your hair and the comb. Also from the same sir:- In a forest, the tallest animal is Giraffe. The wisest animal is fox. The largest animal is Elephant. Lion is none of them. But still he is king of the jungle. From my maths sir in jr. college:- (he said in a form of poem which his teacher told) I am going through a forest, On the way there was beautiful trees, with bloomin...
