The Only Goal That Matters

We are really bad at knowing what we actually want.

In fact, we learn what we want by watching other people. First, by seeing what our parents, siblings, and eventually, by what people on social media want.

There's an old saying: we spend money we don't have to buy things we don't want to impress people we don't even like. Here's the thing: nothing anyone else owns, wants, or does, has anything to do with you. Because they aren't you.

You, and only you, are you. And for that reason, the only goal that matters when it comes to your money is your own.
