Morgan Housel on the Psychology of Money | Afford Anything Podcast (Audio-Only)

Do you wrestle with the idea of leaving your savings in an account earning next to nothing versus investing it in the stock market?
Do you use investment strategies that allow you to work with your nature, rather than against it?
Are you careful to seek investment advice from those who share your investment goals, or do you get caught up in the trends of day traders?
Morgan Housel, author of The Psychology of Money, joins us to discuss why investing is not the study of finance, but the study of how people behave with money. Morgan is an award-winning financial journalist, former columnist for the Wall Street Journal and The Motley Fool, and one of the foremost thinkers in the world of investing.
As a long-term investor who shares our buy-and-hold philosophy, Morgan has behavioral finance insights that can help us invest for financial independence with more clarity and a better understanding of ourselves.
We discuss how to develop self-awareness around biases, the importance of flexibility for long-term strategies, saving like a pessimist and investing like an optimist, becoming durable in the face of market adversity, the key difference between patience and stubbornness (and how it affects your mindset), expectation management, the importance of bonds and emergency funds, and a difficult lesson about tail risks that Morgan learned at age 17.

Getting a head start by beginning to invest early is the most effective way to build wealth, with investment taking precedence. I've learned from last year's experience that starting early allowed me to create a better life through early investments this time around.

[@AlexanderDanielley]

Indeed, currently I'm managing my finances wisely and being frugal. In the last 19 months, my investments grew by 43%, adding over $650K in profits. However, I've had losses in the past month, making me anxious. I'm unsure whether to sell everything or wait.

[@VickyAlvy]

I always consult a financial advisor before investing. During the pandemic, I used their strategies to minimize risks and maximize profits, generating around $3 million in three years with my advisor, Stacey Lee Decker.

[@VickyAlvy]

With the help of google you can book an appointment. She has a wealth of experience in the financial market gained over several years.

[@Jason9o669]

After reading your insights, I researched her full name and found her online webpage. Thanks for your help.

[@MarcelPhilips]

I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying it's ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $200k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point

[@BrunoLuke]

Yes, a good number of folks are raking in huge 6 figure gains in this downtrend, but such strategies are mostly successfully executed by folks with in-depth market knowledge.

[@MarcelPhilips]

@@BrunoLuke It all depends on how long you're willing to hold for, stocks might likely tank further, but making serious gains in this downtrend wouldn't be a problem if you're a pro.

[@BrunoLuke]

@@MarcelPhilips The reason I decided to work closely with a brokerage adviser ever since the market got really tensed and the pressure became so much(I should be retiring in 17months) so I've had a brokerage adviser guide me through the chaos, its been 9months and counting and I've made approx. 650K net from all of my holdings.

[@MarcelPhilips]

@@BrunoLuke Hi, please who is the expert assisting you and how do I reach out to them?

[@BrunoLuke]

@@MarcelPhilips My financial advisor, KRISTIN GAIL CUNNINGHAM is a highly qualified and experienced professional in the financial market. She possesses a broad understanding of portfolio diversification and is recognized as an expert in this field.

Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking the bold steps we need in other to reach our goals.

[@georgerobinson2021]

I think it's not always about fear, Sometimes realistic factors discourage people from reaching their goals in life. For instance, I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value

For me, I believe retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My husband and I both spent same number of years in the civil service, she invested through a wealth manager and myself through the 401k. We both still earning after our retirement.

[@graywilliams_77.]

This is true. I'm in my mid 50's now. My wife and I were following this same trajectory. Last two years, I pulled out my money and invested with her wealth manager. Not catching up with her profits over the years, but at least I earn more. I'm making money even before retiring, and my retirement fund has grown way more than it would have with just the 401(k). Haha.

[@akiramiyazono]

[@tonicruger]

Currently I'm just being smart and frugal with my money, I'm in the green 47% over the last 15 months and l've accumulated over $700K in pure profits from DCA’ing into stocks, ETFs, dividends and futures. However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait.

[@carolynrose1816]

Nobody knows anything you need to create your own process, manage risk and stick to the plan, through thick or thin while also continuously learning from mistakes and improving.

[@kurttSchuster]

@@carolynrose1816 I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day invt decisions being guided by a fin-advisor, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using a fin-advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.

[@Mcllwain]

@@kurttSchuster I actually subscribed for a few trading courses but it didn't help much, been getting suggestions to use a proper financial advisor, how did you go about touching base with your coach?

[@kurttSchuster]

@@Mcllwain My Financial Advisor is NICOLE DESIREE SIMON. I found her on a CNBC interview where she was featured and reached out to her afterwards. She has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can run a quick online research with her name if you care for supervision. I basically follow her market moves and haven’t regretted doing so.

[@Mcllwain]

@@kurttSchuster She appears to be a true authority in her profession. I looked her up online and found her website, which I browsed and went through to learn more about her credentials, academic background, and career.

The market is very unstable and you can not tell If it's going bearish or bullish. I advise y'all to forget predictions and start making a good profit now because future valuations are all speculations and guesses. When these reports are bullish take some off to the side lines, when news gets bearish start buying. "Keep it simple simple" that bear/correction was the best thing that happened me. But all thanks to MR. Gregory Dubravko, for his amazing skills for helping me to earn 13.6 BTC through trading chart. I believe we are in the spring phase...
