《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.

台灣有人罵臺積電賺那多錢,低科技發展沒那麼好真的不公平,香港就剛好相反,我們這邊當個毫無科技的基層警察薪水都比台積電的工程師高,中層警察月入一兩萬美元也是等閒;香港最賺錢的是軍公教大家擠著去,台灣的軍公教就因為待遇不高找人難。 台股因為台積電而噴到四萬點,加權指數是二十年前的十倍...
