Course Overview

1 - No One’s Crazy

  • we’re all biased by our lives - everyone thinks and acts differently and we all have good reason to
  • “We all think we know how the world works, but we’ve all experienced only a tiny fraction of it.”
  • we can’t really take advantage of history, because reading about history is not the same as experiencing it
  • also, the history of saving money is very short - not much to learn from (this is what I find frustrating about the software industry, as well, by the way)

2 - Luck & Risk

  • “Nothing is as good or bad as it seems”
    • success or failure always has to do with luck or risk
    • but we don’t talk about it because it’s rude to imply that someone else’s success has been luck
  • “Not all success is due to hard work, and not all poverty is due to laziness.”
  • we should focus more on broad patterns than on individual stories about success of failure

3 - Never Enough

  • some people that own unimaginable amounts of money risk everything to get even more money
  • “There is no reason to risk what you have and need for what you don’t have and don’t need.” (This strikes me as a very healthy mindset when working with your money)
  • “Life isn’t any fun without a sense of enough” - you can never enjoy the status quo if you always want more
  • social comparison is a game you can’t win unless you’re the richest person in the world (which you probably aren’t)

4 - Confounding Compounding

  • “You don’t need tremendous force to create tremendous results.”
    • the ice ages started because every year, a bit more snow was left over from last winter which eventually compounded to a thick layer of ice
  • Warren Buffet got a return of about 22% on his investments every year on average - he’s only as wealthy as he is today because he’s been doing it forever
  • “The most powerful and important book [about investing] should be called ‘Shut Up and Wait’”

5 - Getting Wealthy vs. Staying Wealthy

  • getting money is a very different skill from keeping money
    • getting money requires taking risks
    • keeping money requires humility and paranoia about not losing what you have
  • the key to successful investment is survival - stick around long enough to let the compunding work for you
  • be financially unbreakable instead of going after the big returns
  • allow for error in your financial planning to become financially unbreakable
  • be short-term paranoid to keep your wealth and long-term optimistic to grow it
