The One Page Financial Plan

Carl Richards has a new book, The One Page Financial Plan. 

Here's what I learned or re-learned:

• Wait 72 hours after deciding to buy something on Amazon. Impulse buy less.
•  Track your monetary transactions.
• Ask,  "does the investment fit into my plan?" 
• " What matters most?" is a superior financial question.

Hidden lessons:

• Don't use equity in your home to invest.
• Don't buy high and sell low.
• Don't settle.
• UDM (unilateral decision making) is too rampant.
