I’ve murdered my financial future several times.

Working in finance slowly taught me what the average person gets wrong. When you see the same problems repeatedly, you start to see patterns.

Look out for these things.

Overloading on stress

Stress is how you go broke.

The modern job inside the capitalist machine worships overworking and rise-and-grind culture.

Recent research shows that 77% of people deal with physical manifestations of stress. And about 120,000 people a year die from work-related stress. Yet people let stress quietly kill their future.

Stress makes us frustrated.

It forces us to go inward and narrow our focus. It takes over our thoughts so we don’t have room for creativity (the ultimate money creator).

And it forces us to say things we don’t mean that kill relationships that could lead to more money. Don’t let stress rule your life.

What you can do instead

Destress…

  • Work less
