Psychology of money, Nothing’s Free – Every Benefit Has a Price ( Chapter 15 )

High investment returns come with the price of volatility and uncertainty. Wealth and success require sacrifice, patience, and emotional resilience. The mistake many people make is wanting the reward without paying the price—they want big returns but can’t handle short-term losses. 💡 Example: The stock market has historically given the best long-term returns, but the “price of admission” is enduring market crashes, downturns, and constant uncertainty. --- 🧠 Key Lessons: Every financial advantage demands a trade-off. Market volatility is not a penalty, it’s a fee you pay for higher returns. Understand the cost before chasing the reward. If you can’t tolerate the price (stress, uncertainty), you won’t enjoy the benefits.
