Mixtape:
Morgan Housel: Concealed Emotions “An emotion is just the gap between what you think could happen and what could possibly happen. Which is a whole lot of stuff. And it comes in a whole lot of forms, some of which aren’t obvious.”

The Reformed Broker: The Unreachables “You can no sooner smash a rock against the ground in order to transform it into an apple than can you get someone to believe a thing that invalidates their identity.”
A Wealth Of Common Sense: Watch What People Do, Not What They Say “Working longer may not be how most people envision spending their time in their older years, but from a financial perspective, it may be their best shot at salvaging their finances.”
