Morgan Housel - Financial Advice For My New Daughter
comentada em 05/06/2019 12:56

Sei que muitos aqui conhecem o Morgan Housel. A maior parte dos textos dele é fantástica e muito em linha com a filosofia do site. Escreveu um ontem para a filha dele que acabou de nascer que me chamou atenção por tratar tão bem (e de forma bem objetiva) de conceitos que discutimos aqui.
Vou colar uns trechos que me chamaram atenção e ao final o link para a versão completa:
"The highest dividend money pays is providing the ability to control your time."
"Having enough savings to give you time and options during an emergency will never get old. Being able to retire when you’re ready will never get old. The ultimate goal is independence, but independence is not black or white, all or nothing. Every dollar you save is like owning a slice of your future that might otherwise be managed by someone else, and whatever their priorities are."
"You don’t need to do amazing things to end up OK over time. You just have to consistently not screw up for long periods of time. Avoiding catastrophic mistakes – the biggest of which is burying yourself in debt – is more powerful than any fancy finance tip."
"The most important financial advice I can give is that money won’t provide the thing that you and almost everyone want most. No amount of money can compensate for a lack of character, honesty, and genuine empathy towards others."
