Rather than giving me tips or investment formulas, they shifted my mental models:
- I started treating money as a system rather than isolated decisions.
- I built your own personal finance infrastructure with separate "money pots."
- i've become much more focused on acquiring assets that generate income.
- I've expanded my thinking beyond wages
The core principle :
Judge ideas individually, not by the perfection of the person presenting them.
Start asking questions like :
- Does this idea make logical sense?
- Is there evidence it works?
- What are the risks?
- Does it fit my own goals and circumstances?
That approach lets you keep the gems while discarding the parts that don't hold up.
