I have to say that my 68years old host really laughed laudly as I told her I was studying "money is a burden". I really need to find very convincing examples to entertain her more.
She is really opening my eyes. Why on earth would someone think that money is a burden and then obviously do the best to get rid of it? Would it not be easy to use trading as a way to get rid of money and unload the burden? Obviously no need to say that one wanted to unload the burden, just say I made a loss, etc... same result but better explanation. The psychology/spirituality is really a merger of "opposites".
"money is a burden" here having the money is a burden : - seeing someone who feels that they have to hide their money at all cost else someone might steal it. - hearing someone say that nobody can be trusted when it comes to money : same issue of are they your friend because they like you or because they want your money? - having to make decisions what to do with it. One serial extremely wealthy entrepreneur words " Sometimes the money is a burden. You have to decide what you do with it like endow a school etc..;" here the acquisition of money is a burden. an example of comment : "Actually,for me, the money is a burden.I must work hard to earn more and more money,then i will be y,etc. Now i have felt much pressure from money,it is not really easy ...." For this person the acquisition of money is difficult, so the belief "money is a burden " gets created. Similar here to the mindset "life is hard", "getting money is hard", "money does not grow on tress". here losing the money is a burden : - a gambler who just lost all his money, needs a philosophy to make themselves feel better would say that. But actually, I am really wondering if they in the first place lost all as they first believed that. - quarrels , finger-pointing wabout money matters.
Interesting article http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/12/technology/12craig.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 Craigslist's Craig keeps it real in today's NYT's Business section â "While unwilling to discuss his wealth, he said he could be a lot richer if he wanted to. 'We know these guys in Google and the eBay guys,' he said, 'and they are not any happier than anyone else. A lot of money is a burden.'"
money can be a burden when people get "too much too soon" - lottery winners who lose it all very quickly - indecisions about what to get...
Looks like people believe "money is a burden" when - or they do not generate it easily - or they do not manage it well - or they lose all Funny that regarding money the question has to be looked from the prism : wealth acquisition ( gaining) OR wealth management(managing it) OR wealth preservation( keeping it) ?
I 'll need to investigate "money is a burden" from the 3 perspectives : - acquiring money is a burden ( disagree : I'll say it is easy to acquire money legally) - managing money is a burden ( i disagree as in this part I now understand there are a lot of service providers - budgetters, accountants, tax officers, financial advisers, etc... ) - losing money is a burden ( I'll say losing a tiny amount to make some is fine, losing a lot of money is like hell)
I am really regretting not talking much with some family members. "Well trading is pure speculation. I don'like risks. Property is the safest thing... but as you insist we'll take some bit for you to trade". lol. So this is why I can not believe acquiring money is hard. managing money : managing a small amount of money is hard as the amount is small, but managing a large amount not hard as it comes to choosing well the team around oneself. With the 3 clowns experience - 2 clowns really can't let go lol- I have learned a LOT about people - including how to read them well and how to handle them. So the managing large amount is not hard. losing money : losing small amount for a trade campain is absolutely fine. But losing a lot of money - specially due to some assholes- that is really really really hard. I never ever want to lose a lot of money again. lol. hence I will always have a coach for trading. . I don't care if I don't need one, or I do well, or whatever, I will never trade again without a coach monitoring my psychology/spirituality that' s for sure. lol.
Looks like trading reflexes are back. At least I am managing to scalp like a rabbit again. I wonder what is the maximum number of trades a discretionary scalper makes in a day.
