No two people will ever have the same views about money.

I don’t care if you’re married, best friends, or identical twins.

My view of money doesn’t match yours, and your view doesn’t match mine.

Period.

Keep that in mind the next time you are about to launch into an argument over the AmEx bill with your spouse. Or the next time you start to judge someone for the car they drive. Or the next time… well, really, just the next time you think anything about anyone’s relationship with money at all.

Other people’s behaviour might seem ludicrous to you. Even morally reprehensible.

But that’s at least in part because they’re not you. They don’t think about money the same way you do.

In fact, nobody does.

Because when it comes to how we think about money, all of us are an N-of-1.

We'd like to think of all the material things in our lives—our physical possessions—as stuff we own.

But for some things, that may be backward.

Take your phone, for example. Are you really in charge? Do you own your phone, or does your phone own you?

Personally, sometimes I feel like my phone owns me. I do everything I can to make my smartphone dumb—disabling notifications, monitoring screen time, deleting timesucking apps and social media—and yet, over and over again, I find myself reaching for my phone completely subconsciously… as if my phone is controlling my behaviour, not the other way around.

And what about cars? Houses? Investments? That [insert clothing item here] you haven’t worn in 12 years but can’t bring yourself to get rid of? Are you really in charge of any of that?

Remember—the point of all this stuff is to make our lives better. If it’s not doing that, it’s just taking up space (or time, or energy, or money). And if that’s all it’s doing, isn’t it time to get rid of it?

There’s a reason Marie Kondo has amassed such a huge following. You’re probably nodding your head knowingly as you read this. Of course, getting rid of things is easier said than done. How do you know what to toss and what to keep?

My humble advice is simply to ask yourself this one powerful question: do I own this thing, or does it own me? And if the answer is the latter, that might be something worth getting rid of.

Or at least do whatever you can to set the record straight and remind your stuff (and yourself) who’s in charge.

Just about every month, I get pitched some cool, new investment opportunity, whether it’s my brother-in-law wanting to buy real estate or a friend starting a legitimate business.

I used to go down these financial rabbit holes…

Weeks of my time.

Talking about it.

Researching it.

Considering it.

But one day, in an act of frustration, I paused and asked myself some pretty basic questions.

Why am I doing this? What does money mean to me?

I grabbed a Sharpie and wrote the answer on a piece of card stock: Time with my family, mainly outside, and serving in my community and my church.

Now, every time a new opportunity comes up, I don’t have to spend so much time thinking about it. I’ll just glance up at that card and ask: Can I be sure this investment opportunity gets me closer to those goals?

When I’m honest with myself, the answer is almost always, “No.”

I started calling that card my one-page plan. But you can call yours whatever you want—a statement, a touchstone, a reminder of what you said was important to you when you were thinking clearly.

Even if it’s just a sticky note on your laptop, that’s better than having no plan, and it will save you hundreds of hours each year.

Do me a favour: grab a piece of paper and a pen.

Come on… no excuses. If you’re sitting there reading this, you have time.

Got it? Good. Now make two columns. Above the left column, write: Things I’ve Always Wanted To Do. Above the right column, jot down: Things I’ve Done.

Take a few minutes, no more than five, to populate each column.

Then put that piece of paper somewhere safe, where you’ll see it often. Your office desk, the bathroom mirror, the fridge at home.

Now pick something from the left column and do whatever it takes to get it into the right column. Some things will take years, others months. You may even find that things like “skydiving” can move from left to right in a matter of days.

For many people, the only thing preventing them from doing what they've always wanted to do is permission.

Consider this piece of paper your permission slip. Now you have no excuses. Time to make your dreams come true.

One of the biggest mistakes we make with our money is confusing investing with entertainment.

Somewhere along the line, investing has become one of America’s favourite spectator sports.

On social media, in your newsfeed, or at the dentist’s office—it seems like everywhere you look, someone is talking about finding the next hot stock, mutual fund, or alternative investment—from cryptocurrency and tech funds to startups and beyond.

Problem is, smart investing actually has very little to do with the kind of bold, swift actions people tend to yell about on the financial networks. Smart investing is about as exciting as watching grass grow.

The idea that investing is fun and entertaining can lead us to make costly mistakes. Despite knowing at some level that market timing, stock picking, and day trading are hazardous to our wealth, so many of us end up engaging in that kind of behaviour.

Sure, investing can be fun. But bear markets serve as a painful reminder that it's not always fun. This isn't Monopoly we're playing. It's real life. We're dealing with real money and real goals. And by confusing investing and entertainment, you almost always end up with bad results.

At some point, we need to take a deep breath and ask ourselves a question: Am I investing to meet my most important financial goals, or am I investing as a form of entertainment?

Hint: For almost all of us, it can’t be both.

When we think of investments, we tend to think about money. You buy some stock, and you hope that stock will pay dividends in terms of more money.

Of course, anything can be an investment as long as you spend it hoping to get back more later.

You might invest some time into work on Thursday so you can take off early on Friday. It’s never a bad idea to invest some work into eating and sleeping well so you have more energy throughout the day. Just think of the dividends you’d get in return after investing your attention in a skill you always wanted to develop.

I know this sounds like common sense, but how often do you actually think about your expenditures (financial or otherwise) in terms of money, time, energy, and attention?

Learn to see past the costs of your investments. Focus on the returns.
