This Has A 100% Death Rate

This Midweek Money Minute includes cinema, sharks (sans laser beams), money, life, and death.

We’re lighting up Wednesdays again 🔥 with the Midweek Money Minute. It’s a one-minute read on one topic each Wednesday. (If you have some topics, ideas, or feedback hit reply!)

And here.. we.. go 👇️ 

1975 changed everything.

Before 1975, when people went to the beach, they just went to the beach. After 1975, one singular topic consumed beachgoers for decades to come (and still to this day).

But what happened?

The movie “Jaws” was released. It changed the way that everybody views maritime recreation. Now shark attacks hit the headlines, Shark Week has a cult fandom, and it’s not uncommon to hear chatter among the Igloo cooler about how likely you are to be struck by lightning than attacked by a shark.

(discussed from the safety of land, of course)

But even with 3 rows of teeth and the ability to sprint scary-fast, a shark most likely won’t be your demise. But this one thing is guaranteed to do you in…

Life.

Breaking news: you won’t live forever! (until further notice). This is the one thing with a 100% guaranteed death rate.

So what does that have to do with money?

Well, it’s easy to stress about money when you are thinking about the long game, early retirement, leaving a legacy for your rug rats, or missed opportunities. Money failures can feel HUGE. But the simpler (less stressful) mindset is that we will all meet the same end. Kings, queens, presidents, mayors, CEOs, bums, celebrities, working stiffs. We all end up dead in the end.

I know… “hey, thanks a lot. Really made my day.”

Don’t let that get you down – flip the script. If you make a bad investment… oh well. Shrug it off. If you miss a good opportunity, have buyer’s remorse, or are upside down on a loan, in the long run it’s not that big of a deal. Like water off a duck’s back. Life happens, we have ups and downs, just get back up.

It’s easy to stress about money, but you CAN change your mindset. Begin by dancing with your mortality. You ain’t gonna last forever, and that’s ok.
