Learn to be comfortable with money sitting still.
Most people spend the moment they receive. The moment your account looks full, something must be bought, something must be celebrated.
Train yourself to do nothing with money.
Let it sit. Let it accumulate. Let it feel boring.
Getting rich and staying rich are opposite skills.
Getting rich takes optimism, risk and conviction.
Staying rich takes paranoia, humility and the willingness to look like a coward.
Most people who hit it big go broke because they keep using the skill that made the money to try to keep it, know which game you’re playing.
Money isn’t a separate game from life. It’s just the most measurable form of patience.
If you can’t be patient, no income will save you. If you can, no setback will end you.
