PYRAMID SCHEMES
If you don’t fall for it then you definitely had at least
one friend who did.
SCARCITY TRAP
When you are experiencing poverty with regards to time,
money, happiness, then you are more likely to make
decisions that amplify and lead to more poverty.
It’s basically a self-fulfilling prophecy e.g. depression
leads to isolation which leads to more depression
etc. Negative feedback loops are no fun.
TRYING TO PLEASE PEOPLE
As you get older you realize that no matter what you do
people will find some way to criticize you. You didn’t help
the homeless man? You’re a bad person. You helped
the homeless man? You’re an enabler.
THE SPANISH PRISONER
This confidence trick is essentially the original “Nigerian prince”
scam, but more generalized. For example, politicians do this all
the time by dishing out empty promises e.g. “vote for me and
I will completely change so and so”. In reality, they are
just using you to further their own agenda.
NOT BACKING YOUR FILES UP
That file’s not important right? Yea, not until your computer crashes.
DEBT
If you live in the United States, this is especially relevant.
Don’t drink the kool aid. You can live without debt.
CLIMBING THE LADDER
This not only pertains to work, but life in general. We want
a better job to buy a bigger house for which we will
need an even better job so that we can then buy
yet another house. Repeat.
