Investing and the Quality of Life
 ### Tim Ferriss@tferriss
If we assume the point of investing is ultimately to improve your quality of life and the quality of life of those you most care about, investments that consistently add stress over long periods of time probably don’t make sense.
Money is traded for things or experiences that catalyze certain feelings. If your investments are generating the opposite spectrum of feelings, it might be time to reassess. It’s easy to miss the forest for the trees.
Money is a means, not an end.
And in the end, most things matter very, very little.
Do what helps you sleep at night and wake up with a low heart rate.
To me, those are the hallmarks of a world-class investor who gets the big picture.Show More
