LIFE TRAPS THAT MOST PEOPLE WILL FALL INTO
Added on: 18th May 2016
GAMBLER'S FALLACY
This is the idea that if something happens a lot (you flip heads
50 times in a row), then the other option is more likely to
happen (you will start flipping tails more). This superstitious
belief comes from the idea that the universe must balance out
somehow. It’s caused a lot pain to people’s wallets in Las Vegas.

Try “K” instead.
MAKING EYE CONTACT WITH KIOSK WORKERS
AT THE MALL
You’ll never get that 5 minutes back.
THINKING YOU'RE NOT AFFECTED BY MARKETING
Marketing isn’t just advertising. It’s sneaky in ways you would never
have expected. Even the very floor you are standing on in some
stores can be designed to subconsciously influence your
comfort, perception, and movement.
THINKING YOU HAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE
There are plenty of people that make an excellent living
without a degree.
LIFESTYLE INFLATION
As we make more money, we spend more money.
Unfortunately this leads many people to maintain a pay check to
pay check lifestyle. An alternative, especially for those of you
living in high income economies: saving and then investing
to achieve financial freedom.
WHAT'S THAT ON YOUR SHIRT?
Boop!
RUNNING OUT OF TOILET PAPER
There are two types of people in the world…those who have
experienced this, and those who will.
SUNK COST FALLACY
This is the idea that simply because people have already invested
in something they will actually invest more in spite of the fact
that their initial investment is a dud.
