《The Psychology of Money》

Happiness = Controlling your time

I’ve always wondered why when I got more money working a job it didn’t make me happy. Then it hit me. I don’t want money. I want time to read and write. I don’t want a dumb boss to tell me what to do.

My happiness levels went up as soon as I broke free from working a job. Control of your time acts as a dividend on your energy that keeps compounding. 


You don’t want to get rich. To be rich requires you to use money to buy dumb stuff like Rolex, Ferries… etc so people think you’re rich. wealth is hidden as it’s money not spent. “Wealth is an option not yet taken.” The trick is to decline options that require money now to have better options in the future.

Having options is real wealth.

Many people think of their net worth based on how much money they have or their total assets.


A better rule of thumb is “Can I sleep at night?” That’s why I don’t have any debt. Debt equals stress. I can’t enjoy life when I’ve got debt chained to my back to distract me.

Sleeping well at night equals true wealth.
