BF Deal On Me: Doubled my Life Fulfillment and Net Worth...
I've found a way to get both... Travis here... I almost didn't get this to ya... That turkey about did me in! Or maybe it was the pecan pie and ice cream? LOL Here's what I want to share with ya (and my BF deal - on me)... ...with gratitude in my heart and Tums in my belly... A doubling of net worth won't likely net a doubling of life improvement (or fulfillment) over the long term. But I've found a way to get both... First...we've gotta understand the order to go in... If someone's worth $100k and they double to $200k... Over the long term... There won't be much life improvement. Depending on their financial and emotional intelligence... May even lead to a life degradation? They use the $100k as a down payment to go deeper in debt... etc. If a billionaire doubles her net worth to $2 billion? Do they get a doubling of life improvement? I dunno everything about everything... But probably not. Does their life ACTUALLY improve even a smidgeon? Doubtful. What if though? They doubled their ABILITY to improve OTHER PEOPLE's lives? Would that lead to a double helping of life improvement for them too? VERY LIKELY and with LEFTOVERS TOO! 😆 I know from personal experience... I get far more TRUE fulfillment from helping and SEEING folks save massive amounts of time and energy getting to a goal... ...than I do from seeing one of my investments up 100%. Just this Thanksgiving, I got texts, a letter and a nice gift from folks I've helped in a small way over the years. Now... THEIR ability to improve other people's lives is bearing fruit, too. My babies are having babies are having babies! Ya know who I didn't get a damn thing from? Schwab, Fidelity, Tasty Trade, Apmex, my bankers, my real estate or insurance agents or any other place I invest in. 😅 If I had a choice between doubling my net worth or doubling my ability to help others improve their lives? Easy choice for me. ...doubling my ability to improve other people's lives cooks up TRUE fulfillment...
