MONEY: MASTER THE GAME

“Money is nothing more than a reflection of your creativity, your capacity to focus, and your ability to add value and receive back.” 
​​— Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game

In Money: Master the Game, Tony Robbins condenses 50 interviews from top investors and 40 years of his own personal and financial wisdom into a 7-step program that anyone can follow. I really appreciated his insights on Index Funds vs. Mutual Funds and why he thinks the former is a safer investment. Other key take-aways for me include: 

  1. Compound interest is powerful. Start investing when you're young. Every year counts. 
  2. It's hard to keep large sums of money. You have to self-discipline as you go. 
  3. Tax and fees efficiency is critical to growth. Look into the truth of 401(k) and Funds' fees. 
  4. Seek the unicorns and learn from them. Model your life on who your heroes are. 
  5. Don't try to beat the masters in their own game. Index Funds perform better than 96% of Mutual Funds in any 10-year period. 
  6. Define the system before you receive the money to avoid temptation. Set aside your % every paycheck.
  7. Asset allocation is a hugely important decision for investing. What risk are you comfortable taking and not losing sleep over? 
  8. Have a dream bucket for fun now or helping others. 
  9. Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful.
  10. Rebalance your portfolio every 6/12 months, remember 6 months can increase taxes
  11. Provide value and think from your customer's point of view

If you have any other resources you would recommend to me regarding personal finance, I'm all ears. Very eager to continue my understanding of options out there that suite my more conservative risk-tolerance. [JG]
