"How do you invest your money?"
I get asked this question all the time, so it was SO FUN to work on a book filled with smart, thoughtful, answers.
Below is a thread of each sketch in the book with a few thoughts.

I LOVED @morganhousel simple, clear, focus on money being a tool for independence.
There is nothing boring about the multi-decade approach @christine_benz spells out in her chapter...even if she did use the word "mundane".
So good!
So good!
Reading how @brianportnoy narrows in on contentment was awesome. The way he uses money is a lesson worth way more than the cost of this book.
For the outside investing and the markets might seem like @ReformedBroker life...but the reality is it's just a tiny little piece.
So it might be what he talks about on @CNBC, but it's not what he lives for.

There's a story in @RPSeawright chapter that I will not forget. Thanks for allowing us all into your family Bob!
It is so easy to forget that investing in yourself is often the best ROI. Thanks for the reminder @CarolynMcC
There we 100 sketches in the chapter by @TR401 but I LOVE how Tyrone framed taking mistakes and turning them into a LEGACY!
Investing is not just about money...it's also about time.
@DasarteYarnway reminded me that I might want to align my use of time and money with what I value...and invest there.

Thinking about the trade-off between TODAY and TOMORROW is one of the central challenges when it comes to money.
I learned a lot from reading how @noneal510 thinks about that trade off.

There are a lot of things money can't buy...but it can provide options if used correctly. @DebbieDenverCO chapter was a great roadmap into that thinking.
Shirl Penney from @DynastyFP uses a very clear lens for how he thinks about investing his personal money...
So clear I saw in as I read his chapter.

One thing that surprised me about this book was how much LIFE there was in a MONEY book.
Turns out that money isn't just about spreadsheets & calculators... @tseides reminds us it's also about LIFE.

It makes no sense to argue over taking a plane, train, or automobile on a trip...BEFORE...you've decided where you're going.
@BlairHduQuesnay points out that your investments should be build on the foundation of your goals...not the other way around.

The chapter by @EqualisFP is so important it needs to be its own book.
Please...please...don't forget this

I love thinking of my investments as a tool to forcible insert my opinion into the world...and @Perth_Tolle takes that idea to another level!
Thanks for the inspiration!

Investing is a vehicle for living well, and @Josh_D_Rogers is all about that!
Jenny Harrington surprised me with a new wrinkle to dividend investing...emotional comfort.
Amen to that!
Amen to that!
Mixing hope and investing might feel good, but @M_D_Underhill points out that it's not an investment strategy.
Always find @howardlindzon fun to read. He makes that case for being as active with your investments as you have the time and skill...but also have cash!
I loved this from @RyanKruegerROI chapter:
"I wonder if the greatest trick the devil ever played on investors is making them think it is the investing part that matters most."
So good!

@lazettabraxton is focused on 2050! Three decades from know...and to her massive credit she knows that success 30 years from now will be defined by how she helps people today.
Read it in her chapter!

The last chapter...is a powerful reminder by @AlexChalekian that wealth isn't measured in money...
