Money in the bank

Please don’t worry about what other people think of you. Why? Most people are a mess. What they think about you pales against what you think about yourself.

Regret sucks. Bank on this.

Note: There’s always a chance some people will not find their regret painful. Not sure how that is possible. But as the saying goes, “nothing is impossible”.

Additionally, there are levels of regret.

An example of a lower-level regret…

One Summer, let’s say, you didn’t save enough money to purchase next year’s seven-night cruise that you had dreamt about for several years. You made enough to save, but you overspent on a few other things that you didn’t need to and shouldn’t have, based on your goal.

An example of a high-level regret…

In your 20’s and 30’s you didn’t consistently invest small, manageable amounts of money in high growth, blue-chip stock. Decades later, you regret not knowing and experiencing the magic of compound interest. And now you will not live long enough to experience the magic of doubling.
