(7/12/23) Markets' anticipation of inflation would result in a moderate decline (in fact, June CPI printed at .2% for a 3% inflation rate). Meanwhile the NFIB report reflected improving moods among small businesses, and other data shows consumers are more confident about spending money = more inflation. How do companies protect profit margins? Cut costs and/or raise prices = inflation. Speculative mood is returning to markets. Charlie Munger: The first $100k is the toughest. avoid distractions from long-term goals by short-term narratives. Things rich people do: Shopping with coupons (remember S&G Green Stamps?) The significance of your savings rate.  Choosing to build wealth (avg. work week = 34.5/hours vs entrepreneurs' work habits). Savings strategies & priorities and avoiding the lifestyle creep. There are no shortcuts to building wealth: Saving 30% of income, for starters. The flaws in modern financial planning include unrealistic gains and ignorance of negative returns: Why pensions fail. Managing need, wants, wishes.
