Here are 6 mental models from the book The Psychology Of Money ๐Ÿ“š

//Thread//
1. Psychologically Reasonable > Financially Rational

Personal finance is more than numbers on a spreadsheet. It's about emotions.

If a decision will keep you up at night, it probably isn't worth it.

Find the middle ground between financial math and your mindset.
2. Behavior > Intelligence

"A genius who loses control of their emotions can be a financial disaster." - @morganhousel

It doesn't matter how smart or educated you are. If you can't control how you BEHAVE, you will never be wealthy.

3. Wealth Is Silent

What you think is wealth:

- Fast cars
- Giant houses
- Luxury clothes

What wealth actually is:

- Stocks
- Cryptoassets
- Rental properties
As the saying goes, money talks, and wealth whispers...

If you want to be rich, you must know what real wealth is.

Here's a resource to help you learn:

4. The Man In The Car Paradox

When people see flashy things, they aren't looking at you. They're looking at the object.

You're much better off cutting your ego and focusing on:

- Family
- Passions
- Memories

Forget about materialism and focus on the things that matter.
5. Volatility, The Price Of Wealth

You can't cry when your investments go down...

โ€œVolatility is the price of admission. The prize inside are superior long-term returns. You have to pay the price to get the returns.โ€

- @morganhousel
6. Happiness

Happiness varies for all of us, but the common ground is freedom.

The freedom to do what you want, with whom you want, when you want...

Taking care of your finances is CRUCIAL for this!

Don't allow money problems to separate you from the life you want.

Here are 3 concepts I've learned from Atomic Habits ๐Ÿ“š

//Mini Thread// Atomic Habits Cover
1. The Power Of 1% ๐Ÿ“ˆ

Big success doesn't mean big action.
Big success means consistent action.

1% Better Each Day ~ This is all you need to improve

Here's a quote that kinda goes well with this โฌ

"Go to bed a little smarter each day."

- Warren Buffett The Power Of 1%
2. Systems > Results โœจ

Goals are the results you want.
Systems are the processes that get you to your results.

Instead of focusing on the goals, focus on the systems.

Envision your desire and create a process that'll get you there. Systems > Goals

Budget - An estimate of income and expenditure for a set period of time

Budgets give you clarity on where your money is coming in and where it's going out ๐ŸŒŠ

//Thread// Budget Illustration
Print out your monthly statements and figure out where your money is coming in and going out

Mark your expenses as either WANTS or NEEDS. Try to minimize the WANTS as much as possible

Takes some sacrifice but over the long-term, a budget will give you freedom ๐Ÿ’ธ Cash Flow Locations
Some folks like to use spreadsheets using specific budgeting methods such as the 50/30/20 ๐Ÿงฎ

I like using apps, here are some budgeting apps โฌ

- YNAB (@ynab)
- Intuit Mint (@mint)
- Personal Capital (@PersonalCapital)

Pick whichever one suits you best ๐Ÿ˜‰ ImageImageImage

Financial Freedom - When you control your finances instead of being controlled by them

Financial Freedom gives you the ability to do WHATEVER YOU WANT ๐Ÿ˜‰

Let's break it down โฌ

//Thread// Anime Money Clip
1. Awareness & Organization ๐Ÿ“„

You need to get your finances organized

Where's your money coming in? Where is it going out? The more awareness of your money the better

A budget is king for this, check out apps like @PersonalCapital and @mint ๐Ÿ“Š Personal Capital LogoIntuit Mint Logo
2. Emergency Fund ๐Ÿ•Š

You should always have at least six months worth of expenses saved up

You never know what life can throw at you, that's why an emergency fund is absolutely essential

Save some cash and put it somewhere easily accessible

DO NOT undermine this step ๐Ÿคฌ Money Illustration
