Finances are personal, although the industry tells us otherwise. We all think we need to learn more about money, when in reality, it’s often an excuse to execute a task. There are a lot of conversations about making money, but only limited ones on managing money. While it is something that reaches every aspect of our live. If we don’t learn that or how we feel about that, it can have those ripple effects on our lives in the future.

It’s important to be impulsive, but it can make us buy or try things without fully looking into things too.

It’s important to be vigilant, but what’s the point of that if you’re still living in deprivation.

So you need to find a balance between the two: being vigilant and careful, but being bold and impulsive as well.

When our ancestors lived in small groups, everyone had the benefit of the tribe. It worked for them not to stand out. Our brain still has those ideals. But society really began to change, from being an aristocracy into a meritocracy. Which made money an easy tool to quantify people’s status, and so, their position in society. As a result, we don’t want to reveal our merits, and so, money became a taboo.
