5 things you should not do with your money to get rich or advance your lives
pockets.
3. Don't always buy something that loses value
- One of the major problems with what we spend over time is losing value or depreciating. Like you bought a phone or a car last year, but
I'm not saying that it's not a necessity, I don't mean it like that of course. What I want to convey is that you don't always have to keep up
with the trend, just because there is a new I phone that comes out, you will also buy such gadgets even if they are very expensive and it
will be a bit difficult to buy it, but it turns out that you are just forcing your own so you can keep up with the trend.
It's the same with the car because you'll need a down payment there, gas costs, maintenance, and other things that will be needed here
because if you don't do it, you'll surely sell it at a low value
5. Don't invest suddenly
- In my experience, I have also participated in this type of investment without thinking immediately or doing research because I was just
carried away by the hype. It's just like the "Get rich quick" where your 1k$ will turn into 10k$ after 3 days, things like that. Just like before
the rise of cryptocurrency projects, there were a lot of them but in the end, they turned out to be scams, but I don't blame them all
because there are legit crypto projects and there are others that are just scams or shitcoins, this is just an example
> In this current dispensation so many people spend money on many fancy things, that the value can't stand the test of time just because they want to impress some peers, associates or fans around them. For example, you hear on the news that a certain celebrity bought a car worth $50M just because a counterpart in the industry has bought one that is worth $40M and it's trending online and so the latter feel he is losing relevance if he doesn't beat the reach.
Why not invest such money into the lives of people around you, human capital investment is one investment that last so well and the returns are unquantifiable but unfortunately this days people chase to spend on fame that is just momentary and end up going broke when they are old and out of the competition.
> On the area of not investing suddenly, on the contrary I think there a some investment that demands you invest suddenly when the opportunity surfaces. Today there are many world richest men that are rich because they invested suddenly on an opportunity that came their way when their counterparts were procrastinating and in doubt. As long as it's not a get rich quick investment I'll always invest suddenly and wisely.
Just look at bitcoin today, in it early stage many people refused to invest suddenly when the opportunity was made to them, but those that did took their chance made it profitably high when the value pumped up to the regret of those that rejected or should I say failed to invest in it.
