Finish Line Mirage

Beschreibung

The hardest financial skill is getting the goalpost to stop moving. If you don't define "enough," the world will define it for you—as "more."
The modern economy runs on a single, powerful engine: the feeling that you are almost there, but not quite yet. We are trained to believe that financial anxiety is a number problem—that if we just hit that next net worth milestone, the worry will evaporate. "The Finish Line Mirage" exposes the psychological trap of moving goalposts. Through interviews with multimillionaires who still feel poor and middle-class families who feel abundant, it explores the elusive concept of "Enough." It argues that wealth is not a function of income, but a ratio between what you have and what you think you need. This is not a book about how to make more money; it is a book about how to keep the money you make from making you miserable. It offers a framework for defining a "Cap"—a financial finish line that, once crossed, signals the shift from accumulation to utilization. Stop running a race that has no end and learn to step off the track while you still have the legs to enjoy the view.
