Stop Watching the Market and Create a Great Life
b'
Seriously, does watching the market and comparing your investment performance to some benchmark help you create a great life??? Of course it doesn\'t. So stop. Stop worrying about "keeping up with the market" and get down to the important work of creating a great life.
\\nINVEST WISELY Segment
\\nIf you are investing without trying to achieve some greater goal, you\'re setting yourself up for disappointment.
\\nComparative investing is a losers game. It can:
\\n- \\n
- create a never good enough mindset \\n
- cause you to over trade and chase investments \\n
- make you susceptible to product sales pitches \\n
- cause you to take too much investment risk (for no reason) \\n
- increase your stress \\n
- cause you to become disillusioned with investing \\n
