Money First Principles Never Change

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?!?

2,000 years sounds like forever, doesn’t it?

And yet at the dawn of Western Civilization, we were still kinda doing the same things.

We loved our wine. We loved our food. We loved our sports.

The details differed, but ancient Rome rhymed with modern times.

Staring down at the Colosseum floor reminded me that first principles don’t really change. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking food, drink, entertainment or… money.

Spend less than you make.
Always stay invested.
Don’t chase performance.
Derisk financial landmines.
Trade time for money until you can trade money for time.

And don’t forget to enjoy your life watching animals and humans dying on a massive scale with 50,000 of your friends, neighbors and countrymen!
