Not to mention… that author ended up going on to win a Nobel Prize for heuristics: the personal bias that influences every decision we make. Awesome read, I highly recommend it to everyone. I hadn’t even thought about applying it to finance, but you make a great argument for it.

YES!! Have you seen this car ad that went viral yet?

This dude made a video of his girlfriend’s ’96 Accord she has up for sale and it’s gotten over 4 million views on youtube haha.. (and also messed up the ebay listing so they had to re-list it because people kept jacking up the purchase price too much :))

But this is pretty much you in that Camry!

BOOM!! And I bet a lot of that was from your own doing vs the stock market, yeah? That’s exactly why that first $100k is the hardest – takes the most level of effort until you have enough for your worker bee dollars to take it from there!

Well dang – way to leave us hanging! Haha… what did you invest the money in now?? Gold? Real estate? Rare monkey breeds? :)

Oh man, I don’t blame you. It’s easy for people like us to say to stay in with decades still left in the game, but if retirement was right around the corner i’m not sure what I would do either! I’d like to think i’d have the balls to ride it out, but would I really?

Just came across this post a few hours ago – pretty close to what you’re talking about here and I bet it helps you!

It’s a good thing I’m not drinking anything right now as it would have been spit out across my entire screen here!

YES!! Love all of this!!! And none of it surprises me of course as once you learn/see this you start seeing it everywhere :)

Oh, and I drive a Toyota, too! #98Camry
