Episode notes

Buying a house solely as a financial investment can be a risky approach. The focus should be on lifestyle decisions rather than monetary gains. Many individuals make the mistake of purchasing a house when they should be renting due to mobility needs. The key is to prioritize stability and family over financial profits. It's crucial to differentiate between a good emotional decision and a bad financial one when buying a house. While a house may not yield immediate financial gains, it can provide stability and social benefits in the long run.

In this moment, financial expert and bestselling author, Morgan Housel discusses the hidden costs of everything in life. Morgan says that that anything good in life comes with an unseen price tag, and part of achieving success in any area of life requires putting up with unknowns and volatility. In a career this might be long hours away from your family, in a relationship it may be the sacrifices and compromises made for another person. Part of this is being aware of your time horizons in life, and the amount of time between now and your goal, determining whether you are willing to sacrifice precious time to achieve the goal. In the end, Morgan says that the key to success in life is identifying what the cost is for any decision and being willing to pay it.
