Thanks so much! Behavioral economics is definitely influential in the way I view the world. I have always thought that personal finance has been more about understanding psychology than understanding finance.

Thanks for reading 🙂

Thanks so much, Claire! That’s one of my main goals – to make people question traditional ways of thinking and acting 🙂

In reply to Kirk.

I have so much respect for the world of bodybuilding and the time/dedication it takes to compete at high levels in that field – so that’s no light accomplishment!

I’m glad you connected with the message in this article, Kirk, and thanks as always for reading 🙂

“Most people don’t care if you live frugally or not. For the ones who do, they’ll accept you anyway because they love you for you, not for your lifestyle.”

Awesome points Zach! I find myself saying this all the time.

“People have their own lives to live”.
I love it. You bring up some great points to think about in regards to behavioral economics, and they way you approach things are very rational. Good read! Thanks.

We spend money we don’t have to buy things we don’t need to impress people we don’t like.

So many good quotes from that movie, but this ones sticks out after reading your post; nice!

I love the point you made in this blog post. The world doesn’t revolve you, me, the reader…
Honestly, very few people are emulated or even deserve to be emulated. I’m not on facebook. The only social media I’m involved with is linkedin, and quite frankly I don’t like it at all because I get anxiety when someone I’ve never met and they’re across the US; requests me to connect with them.
You point is well received from this reader. I try to lay-low and stay off the radar. My only accomplishment was fitness-related as a Physique competitor and that was a few years ago. I’m much smaller and lighter (bodyweight) now so even in that societal sub-culture I’m now meaningless.
