One of the key principles of money is ‘opportunity cost.’ It means that when I buy something, I have to give up something else in return. We think we buy because we need something, but we often forget that we could buy something else instead. We rarely consider ‘opportunity cost’ when making a purchase. We do not compare other values against our needs. Buying something means giving up something else, but we often don’t realize it. When we spend money, we should also consider the ‘opportunity cost’; yet, in reality, we aren’t trained to do so. By making a purchase, we bypass the value comparison that may not offer any additional benefits. Maybe it’s because we lack knowledge, or perhaps the idea isn’t appealing. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Emotion is an asset and an expense simultaneously. Emotions can make wealth, but increase costs, and reduce wealth. What emotions increase wealth? I choose ‘Heart Fluttering’ first. The feeling of stability without heart fluttering is fiction. It never lasts. Are you excited when you work? Does your heart pound when meeting someone you love? Probably, are you cheating on yourself in the feeling of stability without flutter? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
