People claim that money does not make you happy. Wrong! Poverty does not make people happy. Money solves most problems and brings freedom. 💰🗽

Happiness, gratitude and investing
"It's not the happy ones who are grateful. It is the grateful who are happy."
Sir Francis Bacon, 1561-1626
Can it be that we have forgotten to feel happiness and gratitude with all the investing, war and inflation? How else can one experience again and again people (also on GQ) who "must" constantly pursue self-optimization with regard to "career" and "financial respect"?
[tl;dr] Happiness and gratitude are not the result of our ability or our financial possibilities, but favor on broad side of our everyday life that we can invest and afford our standard of living.
1986 - Born in Germany. A country on the jump. Soon is reunification. Germany is on its way.
2005 - Meet future woman for life.
2012 - I fought for a good job, which I still like to do 10 years later.
2014 - November. Late autumn. Just survived an armed robbery.
2015 - Wedding in summer. With woman for life.
Autumn 2015 - House on the outskirts of the city snatched. At a dream price.
November 2019 - "We" are finally pregnant.
March/April 2020 - Covid-19 reaches Germany with serious consequences.
Summer 2020 - Birth of our son. Without my presence - Covid-19 measure.
March 2022 - Invasion of Ukraine.
Also March 2022 - Corona/Covid-19 falls ill.
Today - ....
I was born in a country that has a social system. A country that practices democracy. A country that protects people as people and does not restrict their freedom more than necessary. I was born in a part of the world where for decades there was only one direction: Growth, success and peace.
I have never felt hunger or cold in my life. I grew up in a
I grew up in a country where I can listen to music, block out the noise of war, because the television can simply be turned off.
Millions of other people in this country feel the same way I do. In this part of the world. They wake up in the morning. Shower. Eat. Drinking. Smoking. Working. Meeting with friends and family. Going out to celebrate. Travel. And going to bed peacefully in the evening.
We live. We breathe. We are free.
And yet. Over and over again we learn: It's not enough. It can't be enough. We are not enough. We are arbitrary. Do something. Make a difference.
Never rest. Never rest. Restlessness in being. In the here and now. What comes tomorrow? Uncertain!
It is clear, the human being develops every day. Through self-reflection or influences from his environment, man is motivated to condition his behavior, to accept or even consciously decide against something. It is important that we adapt to constant change and new circumstances and are attentive.
In everyday life and profession this helps us to act with our environment or to advance our own career.
In investing this helps us to make changes in deciding against or for an investment.
They have one thing in common: they decide our future and its development.
However, it becomes problematic when we are constantly driven (and we are!) and thus go from being hunters (for success) to being hunted.
We accept the "hamster wheel", but at the same time resist being put into one by others... Those who find themselves in a hamster wheel deny it with a superficial culture of excuses. "My" job can be done in a cafe, after all. "My" job can be done from home.
I can invest from the park bench. On the bus. On the crowded train. Only on the plane it becomes difficult, but not impossible.
Constantly comparing prices. Putting performance before one's own door so that others turn green with envy or getting involved in unnecessary bets on the stock exchange in order to get something of the cake.
If we look back just a few years, this would not have been possible. A development for which we can be grateful, because it democratizes investing (copywriters regularly get unimagined orgasms when using this word) and thus makes it accessible to the masses.
The problem: we are a driven society. Instead of defining and recognizing this gratitude and circumstance as happiness, we self-flagellate ourselves with dissatisfaction, catch ourselves blaming ourselves, cut corners unnecessarily - to the end in itself of optimization.
Silence - Silence is what one would like to wish many investors. Serenity, which is absolutely necessary, in order to make the necessary objective second view possible. The big bear hunt ala @Simpson can wait. Not everyone is suitable for this big game hunt. And yet all want to participate.
One hears then here and there statements like: "But investing is my hobby."
One would like to wake up Demgegenüber. "Say, do you actually listen to yourself?"
Investing cannot replace a hobby in the classical sense. Investing has become an occupation imposed by society and politics.
If our life model were different, we could confidently do without investing and probably also without money. Nobody wants that. Also not I. So I MUST be forced to deal with it.
The self-protection mechanism then just pretends that it would be a great hobby.
And there we are again in the hamster wheel. We don't see the "happiness" because we are spinning in circles.
In turbulent times, this "hobby" suddenly degenerates into stress, panic or even anxiety. Someone explain this "hobby" to me. We are in the rarest cases hobby bungee jumpers, skydivers or racing car drivers. There, these conditions are normality.
Instead, we redefine investing the same way and elevate it in our lives. Investing should be fun. Of course, the gamification of an inherently stodgy, results-oriented and, in the classic sense, really boring activity of investing makes people try things out, prove themselves, compete with others, it enables our community - but it also brings despair, distress or anger.
And don't tell me it's not true. We have already experienced such emotions here, garnished with departures of controversial but at the same time committed members.
But now the question arises, how to cope with all these things? How should I correctly classify my success on the stock exchange, how should I deal with loss?
To disappoint you after these long minutes of reading: I don't have a universal solution to this problem.
But let me tell you this:
By becoming aware of the inconceivable luck to have been born in this part of the world, in our society, in your environment, is not to be outweighed by any loss or gain on the stock market.
You are the sum of all parts of happiness, freedom, the love of your parents and the glimmer of hope of the previous generations - that everything in life has a meaning.
Happiness is the word you miss in dark moments, happiness is the result that makes you enjoy your life. Happiness is the look in the eyes of your wife, your husband, your children.
The finiteness of your own happiness can only be limited by discord, exaggeration of impossible goals and quarrels.
All this sounds quite metaphorical, a bit esoteric (don't worry, I have no idea about it and escape from such people myself), incredibly old and old white man - posturing.
But it is my conclusion. My conclusion before I celebrate another birthday next week. I wanted to share it with you. In the dark, there is also light. Even if it's just a modicum of "luck". "Luck" is always there. Use it.

Finally I have to thank the donkey @DonkeyInvestor thanks. His contribution to the topic made it easier for me to finish the article. It would probably have been even longer.

Let's talk about Mindset...
I could not sleep the night was too hot, my wife was not there to cuddle and so what remains ? Right the cell phone. While I was reading stock market news, stock recommendations and analyses, my cell phone thought "Hey, he's reading through the articles too schneures, let's give him acid" .... I come across incredible shit on the net that the stock exchanges fall to 0 everything is nationalized, the echsoloids Bitcoin operate and the end of the "free world".
In the normal case I would now the mobile because and say "Enough Internet time for the console" and that was, fun fact, also not playable. So my thoughts circled back and forth until I had the thought to sell everything, take the money out and burn that would be the only sensible thing to do.
What do I want to say with it? Don't get completely involved in other people's opinions, there are always the black seers, cranks, neutrals/realists, optimists and pink seers. Sure, they have facts to prove their theory. But you find just as well against theories with prove. Stay calm and do not hang at night in bed on the cell phone that makes perhaps too much broken in you.😉 And I test times the hashtag

You little Flo Pharell
The world of financial markets is characterized by myths and stock market wisdom, which often serve as advice for investors.
These traditional teachings range from "Buy low and sell high" to "The stock market is always right".
But how much truth is actually behind these stock market sayings?
I try to "examine" some of these well-known proverbs with various contributions and to what extent they can be supported by economic studies.
We as an individual human being often have difficulties to make optimal decisions, e.g. costs and benefits. This depends very much on our previous (life) experiences and in which "bubble" we grew up.
Who does not know the people who advise us against this or that, because he "heard" that this is nothing.
Quasi the stock exchange is a casino.
There are also people who encourage us and we can learn from their (life) wisdom.
To start with, I would like to "throw out" a few technical words and give a short explanation. I will post a few articles on this topic, hope it is for one or the other something suitable.
When we fall into "our" trap of selling or buying something too quickly we can collect and "calm" our psyche.
Heurisks ( greek from heuriskein)
Heuristics are the mental shortcuts/strategies that help us with limited knowledge, incomplete information of a complex task to simplify the decision and reduce the time needed to make a judgment.
In short, a "rule of thumb".
Most people rarely think about everyday purchases, such as toilet paper, and don't waste time meticulously considering which product to choose and analyzing the pros and cons of the various options, even though it's a product they use every day. Thus, heuristics strike here = quick purchase of a product because we know what the toilet paper is needed for, for example.
Biases = human bias
Bias comes from the world of opinion research which refers to a cognitive distortion.
The term bias refers to the tendency to make systematic and predictable errors in thinking and decision-making processes.
This human bias is caused by our emotions.
In the stock world, this means holding an investment for an excessive amount of time or an investor behaving in a way that is not in line with their best interest. Prejudices are often unconscious phenomena and are therefore also referred to as unconscious biases
Prejudice can also be manifested by.
The terms heuristics and biases can be succinctly described as "investor error."
The renowned Havard professor M. Jensen emphasized during an interview that people often take actions that harm them, their relatives or their company.
In his study he cited e.g. The global financial crisis of 2008 (Jensen, Michael C./Meckling, William H.: Theory of the Firm: Managerial Behavior, Agency Costs and Ownership Structure. Journal of Financial Economics 3) resulting in high economic costs due to psychological and investor errors.
Since, for example, investment bankers put their companies in high-risk situations because of psychological mistakes. This also indicates that small investors and private investors in particular are subject to these errors many times more than professional investors.
