《DOLLARS AND SENSE》讀後感:首先考量「機會成本」




DOLLARS AND SENSE》行為經濟學大師丹.艾瑞利又一力作!這一本有出中文版《金錢心理學》,我看的是英文版,列入2018年個人榜的十大好書。 






先說結論,最重要的一點就是要特別注意「機會成本」,每次消費是否真能提供益處,然後還要跟買其它的東西相較,本次花費是否真的帶來愉悅。

書中的前兩部分不直接說該怎麼做,而是給了很多為什麼花錯錢的例子,讓我們能夠自行覺察並做出改變。 

第三部分提供一些具體的做法,有些是連想都沒有想過的妙招,可以融入日常生活,立即就能使用,例如光是在每個信封或帳户寫上小孩的姓名,就能夠讓我們減少花錢。 另外,一些重大決定的確值得花時間深思熟慮,像是買房、結婚,行動前一定要停下來,好好想一想。 至於投資組合裡面有什麼股票跟債券,最好買了就忘,就像死掉一樣不去理它,反倒能夠取得最佳績效。








Chapter Summary
■■ Habits are the compound interest of self-​improvement. Getting 1 percent better every day counts for a lot in the long-​run.
■■ Habits are a double-​edged sword. They can work for you or against you, which is why understanding the details is essential.
■■ Small changes often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold. The most powerful outcomes of any compounding process are delayed. You need to be patient.
■■ An atomic habit is a little habit that is part of a larger system. Just as atoms are the building blocks of molecules, atomic habits are the building blocks of remarkable results.
■■ If you want better results, then forget about setting goals. Focus on your system instead.
■■ You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.
