“School, politics, sports, and games train us to compete against others. True rewards — wealth, knowledge, love, fitness, and equanimity — come from ignoring others and improving ourselves.” – Naval Ravikant
Elliott started as an intern at Riverbend Wealth Management. He is learning the basics of investing, like the miracle of compound interest.
He comes into my office excitedly, saying, “Dad, all you’ve got to do is save money, invest it, wait, and you can be rich.”
“That is correct, son,” I said.
“Why doesn’t everyone do this?” he replied.
I smiled and felt a sense of pride; knowing that this was a moment between a father and a son. A mentor and student.
Knowing Elliott loves fashion, I said, “If you save $30 for every $100 you make, yes, you can be wealthy. But what if those shoes you want cost $100? Are you willing to wait to buy them?”
I could see the excitement on his face transform into understanding. At that moment, he learned something.
Today, he said he will take some cash he saved and invest it.
This is the beginning of a long road of learning.
I can’t stop smiling…
