Things which you cannot buy with "Money"

It is irrefutable that parents always teach their children the value of money. Money is scared not because of natural availability but because of what RBI is making. Money is your productivity, which doesn't mean that hard work. You won't be satisfied with employee because you are providing 5x the work to get x amount of money. All these things teach us the value of money. But actually, people forget that humans are satisfied with respect, trust, love, security, comfort, and health (mental and physical), which you can't buy with money. 

                  Whatever relationship you have, whether boss-employee, husband-wife, respect is a must-have ingredient for that. The problem is that we do not have any measurements to value. Therefore, people underestimate the respect part.

                   Trust is built when your words are reflected in your actions. It takes time. People don't understand the trust part. Jack Welch, the former chief of General Electric, said, "You know it when you feel it." It is one of the simplest and best definitions of trust. People forget that part and run behind the money.

                  "The most important thing people need is love, and the less love they have, the more they need material things," says Arnold Van Den Berg. "They look for money, for some accomplishment, or something external to validate them." But all they need to do is be loved and give love.

                  Basically, I am not a big fan of real estate investment. However, when it comes to owning a home that you can live in for the rest of your life, there are emotions attached to that home that you cannot convert into Excel. People say renting a home is more beneficial than owning one. People want safety and security, which cannot be measured by money.

                Jim Rohn said, “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live”. The problem is, nobody will give you money for having good mental and physical health. Therefore, people ignore their health. The only things that will always be with you are your mind and body. care of them will be an important part.

                 Finally, people consistently undervalue respect, love, health, and security while exaggerating the importance of money. Money will give you freedom, but you can't buy these things that satisfy you.

FAANG

  This is a popular short name for the world's largest companies (F=facebook, A=Apple, A=Amazon, N=Netflix, G=google). I believe that they are not providing us basic needs in life. If we stay away from that, then we can save a lot of money, time, and attention, and, more importantly, we can save our economy.                 Facebook is  much more costly as attention and time. Amazon is costly as extra shopping or marketing. Google is costly as retained knowledge. and Apple is expensive for our wallets. Netflix can be expensive at time .

Loss aversion

  People always tend to put their money in safe investment brackets like bank accounts, FDs, etc. They always feel safe with those investments. This phenomenon is called loss aversion. As per Investopedia, " Loss aversion in behavioral economics refers to a phenomenon where a real or potential loss is perceived by individuals as psychologically or emotionally more severe than an equivalent gain. For instance, the pain of losing $100 is often far greater than the joy gained in finding the same amount. Let me give one example of how this phenomenon works in real life. a man who wants to earn twice as much as an FD (roughly 10-12%) Put 1 lakh RS. in three stocks for the next two years. One stock doubled within two years and the other two have generated minus 20% returns over the next two years. Overall returns should be around 10% CAGR over 3 lakh RS. But the pain of two investments that don't provide any returns over two years is much more than two stocks that double within a sh...
