Money and attention affect how we experience pain and joy. People tend to feel worse when paying with cash compared to using a card. If a restaurant charges you $1 for a spoonful of food, your enjoyment diminishes because you focus more on the cost than the food itself. To reduce spending, you should make spending feel painful. For example, paying with cash rather than a credit card usually leads to less spending. Automatic debit can become a trap. A study shows electricity use increases by 4% when bills are paid via direct debit. Managing spending involves controlling how much importance you give to it. Ultimately, to reduce expenses, we need to change the system and how it’s structured. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
"Asset" means the root of wealth. These “assets” live on credit. Each kind of faith is different. When someone trusts me, someone will trust my gentle character, my sincerity in keeping my promise, or my will to do what I do. In commercial transactions, however, other trading parties trust my “assets” rather than my personality. Even if you do not have a good personality, if you have a lot of assets, transactions with him are active. Wealth is faithful to principles and does not discriminate based on personality. But this does not mean that personality is unnecessary. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
