What is the arrival fallacy?The arrival fallacy is the false assumption that once you reach a goal, you will experience lasting happiness. Many people become less happy after attaining something they have been striving towards. They were happier during the journey and less at the destination.Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, a Harvard-trained expert on positive psychology, created the term itself. Dr. Ben-Shahar says, “the arrival fallacy is the illusion of reaching a destination or goal and realizing that the achievement doesn't make you as happy as you thought it would.” He then adds, “while most people can predict what might may them happy, they usually misjudge the preconceived intensity and overall duration of said happiness.”It makes sense that when you're on a journey to some big audacious goal, from a big project launch to becoming a doctor to having a child to early retirement, you believe at the end of it, you'll reach an enduring level of happiness. Once people arrive at a goal and realize the happiness doesn't last, they set another bigger, better goal, constantly seeking something they believe will arrive at lasting happiness. And it doesn't. That's the fallacy.People experiencing the arrival fallacy might also mask their unhappiness that increases after their goal is achieved. This concept is often called “escalation of commitment” and is a human behavior pattern where someone facing negative consequences from a decision, action, or situation continues the behavior instead of altering their course. They are escalating their commitment to some path, even as they learn it might not be the path for them. People mistakenly confuse happiness with reaching an achievement. Happiness is a lifelong journey. It's not one achievement. It's not one place you arrive at and then stay at. The insight here is that happiness is a journey, not a destination. Is the arrival fallacy affecting your happiness? Maybe. Probably. If you've reached a goal and you're not feeling continued happiness from it, then you're likely experiencing the arrival fallacy.You may feel incredibly happy after achieving a big goal, and that's awesome and hopefully the case. We don't mean to imply that working hard towards a goal can't create happiness. The arrival fallacy and what we want to help you avoid is the idea that achieving that big goal will create enduring happiness. It will create a short-term dopamine hit of happiness, and you need to design a life where you get those dopamine hits on an ongoing basis. Happiness is a lifelong journey, and we feel happiness through our relationships, community, and daily life efforts.Most of the ways you can fight the arrival fallacy involve changing your mindset. Of course, mindset is the solution to so many things in life, so we're not surprised by this!What can you do to combat the arrival fallacy and improve your happiness?Identify the core issue you believe is making you less happy or unfilled, and make sure the goal indeed corrects that.Do your research. Know what you're getting into. Talk to other people.Adjust your expectations. Based on the research you've done, adjust your expectations. Go in “eyes wide open,” and stop telling yourself you'll be so happy when xyz happens. It's not an arrival fallacy if you know what you're getting into and you're not expecting immediate and lasting happiness from a career path. On the contrary, setting your expectations too high creates more unhappiness and can lead to depression and other types of malaise. Set smaller, more practical goals. Enjoy the efforts and journey you're taking on the path of something versus expecting the final arrival on the path to be what creates happiness.Appreciate that happiness is your life journey, not the destination. Envision your future. Ask yourself what you'll do after you reach a goal that will continue to make you happy?Create new goals. Setting goals and then starting the journey to achieve them can make you happy. But let's bring that back full circle, as you need to understand the arrival fallacy so you can set your expectations on how you'll feel as you accomplish these new goals. Things take time. Be patient.Handle hard better. This is a super short and inspiring talk from Duke's women's basketball coach Kara Lawson. She says life will “never get easier; what happens is you handle hard better. What happens if you become someone who handles hard stuff better, not someone waiting for the easy.” Understanding the arrival fallacy helps you to handle hard better. Top 3 takeaways:Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Invest in that journey and design your life to optimize what truly makes you happy.Money, or early retirement, won't magically make you happy, but it can give you the freedom to design a life filled with more of the things that do make you happy.Show References:Article: Arrival Fallacy: How to be happierDuke Basketball Coach Kara Lawson Video: Handle Hard BetterBook: Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful LifeBook: The Pathless Path: Imagining a new story for work and lifeFriends on FIRE Episode #140 - Maggie's early retirement “bucket list” plans (part 4 of 5)Friends on FIRE Episode #158 - Control your lifestyle to find financial freedomFriends on FIRE Episode #144 - Inflation is out of control!

#170 | Travel Hacking - Now, what do I do with all these points?

'The Show' w/ Dan & Joe: Presented by BSBLR

We start off by sharing an update on our 1 million point goal in 2022. We have both beat our goal and have earned 1.3M+ points across 9 cards and our two families. We provide a refresher on travel hacking and how to do it and then dig into how to start maximizing the use of your points. Travel hacking redemption general reminders:The value comes from bonuses, not from normal spending. So if you want to play the game, you need to churn.You apply for a card, meet the minimum requirements (for example, spend $3,000 in the first 3 months), and then the points are deposited into your account.Hotel points are generally worth about $0.005 apiece. Airline miles are around $0.02 apiece. So on normal credit card spending, that's .5% and 2% back.When you're looking for ways to use your points and miles, always do the math. If a hotel room costs $50 or 50,000 points, pay with cash! Because those 50,000 points can likely be used to get $250 or more in value later.Think of your miles and points as cash, and do your due diligence.Using the valuation of $0.02 per mile, 1,000,000 airline miles are worth about $20K, more or less, depending on what you use them for.What's your earning strategy?Pick 1-3 hotels and 1-3 airlines and focus your earnings on those.It's better to have 200K miles with three airlines and 100K with six because you need to be able to cover the whole cost with miles or pay an unreasonable cost to buy miles.For airlines, get coverage across the major alliances: Skyteam, Oneworld, Star Alliance. We'll get into why later. For hotels: Choice, Marriott, Hilton, IHGEARN! EARN! EARN! Don't mess around. Don't dabble. If you're serious about free travel, you need a lot of points to give you the most options.Don't keep the cards past a year. The perks might be nice, but if you want to be eligible for the card again in the future, you'll need to cancel it. 100K miles in 2 years is better than Group 1 boarding.How do you redeem these?Understand the value. Hotels are roughly a half a cent a piece, airlines roughly 2 cents a piece. Don't give up your points for a bad redemption.Hotels are easy so let's start there. Pricing is dynamic, so regularly check for changes in price and rebook. Use credit cards for free nights or like IHG's card, 4th night free.On to airlines. Search every program you have points with and see what's available.Be flexible. Points and miles are dynamic. More popular times of the day or of the year are more expensive. So check the calendars to see if leaving on a different day or time is a better deal.Check Alliance partners. As you build up your portfolio or get transfer points like AMEX or Chase, you can tackle level 2 of searching, which is with International carriers.Booking Internationally can be overwhelming, so the key is the volume of searches.What if you don't know where you want to go?! Follow travel blogs for flash sales and promotions. Consider paying for flight deal notification services. Once you get some options, you have to go through the searches. There's no easy way around this. Once you find a deal, book it and enjoy the trip.Top 3 takeaways:Know the value of your points and treat them mostly like cash.Dedicate some time to thorough searching. It's the only way to find the best deal.This approach to earning points and then using them takes extra time, so realize this is a tradeoff in your time versus your money. And it can be a fun tradeoff!Show References:Mike's American Express Platinum Referral LinkMaggie's American Express Platinum Referral LinkMike's Chase British Airways Referal LinkMaggie's Chase IHG Referral LinkFriends on FIRE Episode #134 - Travel hacking our way to 1 million points in 2022Friends on FIRE Episode #152 | Travel hacking thru the summer and 1M point goal updateAward Wallet - Free Loyalty Points Tracker (they also have a paid version)The Points Guy websiteThe Points Guy Free Travel Tracking AppThe Points Guy Beginning Guide to Points and Miles---Follow friends on FIRETwitterInstagramFacebookLinkedInLeave us a voicemail or text us: 404-981-3370eMail us at: friendsonfiremm@gmail.comVisit our website: www.friendsonfire.org---Other LinksMaggie's Blog: Mostly Minimal LifeMike's Book: Your New Relationship with Money

If you've been watching the stock market in 2022, it's been mostly bad news. High-flying stocks from 2020 and 2021 have been crushed. Solid favorites have dropped dramatically, and all the headlines are talking about recessions.We recap some past episodes where we discussed how the economy works and inflation, and then dig into what's likely impacting the recent market declines. Covid required an influx of liquidity because the economy ground to a halt.Fed lowers interest rates and starts pumping cash into the economy.The government started providing stimulus to consumers, including increased unemployment.More money and lower rates drive prices up because people are less sensitive.Inflation starts to take over and prices skyrocket.Fed needs to raise interest rates to lower inflation. But higher rates makes borrowing to grow expensive and slow down business, which in turn freaks out the stock market.The fed's job is to balance the economy, and this is all cyclical. It's happened many times before and will happen many times more. This is about taking emotion out of investing and how to discipline yourself into making better decisions. We encourage everyone to look at the market's performance over time and have a broader perspective. We discuss some of the pitfalls to avoid with investing in the stock market. We wrap up the discussion with our advice on what you should do during any stock market decline. Top 3 takeaways:We're in a normal cycle of inflation, tightening fiscal policy, and stock market correction. Don't freak out.Don't gamble with your money. Invest consistently through ETFs to lower your risk.When things seem really bad, resist the urge to make emotional decisions. By the time you're freaked out, the chances are that the worst is over.Show References:Sign-up for free daily news Skimm updateFriends on FIRE - Episode #033 - Mike Explains the EconomyFriends on FIRE - Episode #068 - 5 Simple Steps to InvestingFriends on FIRE - Episode #144 - Inflation is out of control!

Episode #120 | 25 tips to take control of holiday spending

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 25, 2021 36:05

People are already predicting this will be a more expensive and chaotic holiday season due to labor shortages and supply chain issues. The holidays can be a tricky time of year, emotionally, financially, and physically. We're eating too much, gaining weight, being stressed at work as it's been a long year, and buying things to make ourselves feel better. So don't get too caught up in “oh, it's the holidays” and spending too much money. This is the perfect year to focus on reigning in your holiday spending!Last year we did an episode on 6 ways to save during the holidays, but we're upping it with a list of 25 ideas for saving this year! 25 tips to take control of holiday spending:The deals are already here, so you can start shopping now. Avoid last-minute shopping, especially this year. Amazon has already rolled out Black Friday-level discounts, and Target announced their “deal days” online. Many are predicting a lot of things will be sold out before December. Shop local. Shopping at smaller, local retailers can help you avoid shipping costs, delays, and higher prices due to supply chain issues. And support your local community and businesses!Make a shopping list. Do not just go browsing stores with no plan. That's a recipe for disaster. Making a list will save you money when you're shopping any time of year, but especially during the holidays. Think about what your kids need vs. want. Mix in some needs to their gifts. Almost half of my kid's Christmas presents are things they need, like new pajamas. Set a budget for your gifts for people, especially children. If you just keep picking up different things for your kids over a couple of months, you'll have way more than you need or intended. Set spend limits to keep things reasonable. Consider discussing and setting spend limits with friends or family where this might be helpful. Spend within YOUR budget, not other people's budgets or expectations. Consider a gift exchange. If you have a group of friends, co-workers, or family that you'll be with and would typically all be expected to buy gifts, suggest doing a white elephant style or more traditional gift exchange. Avoid the season's “hot” gifts. They're overpriced, and if they're great, you can get it for half off in 6 months. If it's on the cover of the Amazon catalog, avoid it.Tame and limit the holiday decor. It's great if you love holiday decor, but all things in moderation. For example, you don't need new holiday pillows for your couch every year. I have a few bathroom holiday towels I put out, and I've been putting out the same towels for 15 years. They spend one month in action, so they last a long time! Instead, focus on creating hygge or holiday coziness, which doesn't cost a lot of money.Spend reasonably on the holiday entertaining. You can make an amazing charcuterie board from Aldi or Trader Joes; it doesn't have to break the bank. Keep things simple, fun, and affordable! Remember the holidays are about spending time with your friends and family, not impressing them with fancy things. Consider buying things second-hand or used. Get creative and make things! Give the gift of your time. For example, give your partner a coupon book for a massage or give your kids a coupon book for a game of four square. Give your kids a rain-check if there is something they really want where the price has gotten unreasonably high. Then, get it for them in March 2022 when prices get back to normal. Leverage coupons, offers, and sales. This could be choosing clothing for your kids from Sams Club and Costco or looking at the offers inside your credit card app to see where you can score a great deal. Always google search for a coupon or discount code before you make any purchase online. And considering using apps like Honey to ensure you're getting the best deals and coupons. Earn cash-back, points, or miles on your purchases. Use a cash-back site like Rakuten to get a little something extra for our purchases. Or put your gifts on a credit card to earn points or miles for travel, but make sure you only charge things you can pay off in that same month. Opt-in to emails from your favorite stores, so you get notified about their best deals. On the flip side, if you don't have self-control, don't do this, as email marketing might cost you more in the end. Get your spouse or partner to agree to no gifts this year!Consider gifting experiences over things. Find a less expensive alternative for Santa pictures, family pictures, or mailing holiday cards.Give back in your time or money to others in need this holiday season, and do this in place of traditional gifts. Realize that you don't need to spend a lot during the holidays to be happy. Avoid keeping up with the Joneses and lifestyle inflation.Remember that you're at the end of the year, and you want to finish the year strong! Don't be afraid to return things you get that are unwanted or unneeded. Again, we have a whole episode on this! Top 3 Takeaways:Remember what the holidays are all about.

#97 | The rise of revenge spending

There are two types of revenge-spending we’ll talk about today:Post-pandemic revenge spending is a concept of spending money on the things that the pandemic prevented you from spending on or took from you. It’s spending money to make up for lost time. This could be on vacations (aka “revenge travel”), clothing, restaurants, parties, or home projects. A related kind of revenge spend that’s constant is stress-induced. You work so hard you get burnt out and then take revenge on the stressor by spending money.Many people saved more and spent less during the pandemic, and now they are going to start spending more and saving less. Don’t get caught in this trend; instead, buck the trend! Avoid going overboard on spending and preserve some of the long-term benefits of the good this past year has brought. Here are some of our tips for recognizing + avoiding revenge-spending:Recognize and appreciate that some people don’t have the privilege of revenge-spending as they are unemployed or still suffering from other negative impacts from covid. This perspective sometimes helps me to put my own desires in check. Perhaps consider donating to a local charity or non-profit and helping those less privileged than you during what is still a difficult time for many people. Some level of post-pandemic spending is great. As with all spending, ensure it’s focused on your priorities.Did your work wardrobe work for you last year? What’s wrong with your clothes from 2020? Remember that and give yourself some time to get reacquainted with the clothes you already have and wear them to work before filling any gaps in your wardrobe. Listen to episode 95 “stop caring about what other people think” episode for some inspiration to not buy new clothes. If you put on some quarantine weight and now your work clothes don’t fit, consider focusing on getting back to the weight you were at pre-covid. It’s healthier and will save you money!Take the learnings from the last year and incorporate them into your “new normal.” You learned to cook and eat at home and that this could be enjoyable, so do more of that. Take your time and think about purchases before you just jump on things. If you saved extra money during the past year, then bank it instead of spending it. Do the math of what all the money you saved over the last year will be worth with a few years of compound interest, or better yet, a couple of decades. Splurge, but choose where you splurge. It’s not splurging if you do it on everything. Create a budget.Force a waiting period to spend money. Take your time. Think about things first. Find other ways to reduce your stress without spending lots of money. We did a whole episode on self-care on a budget or for free. Check it out for some inspiration!Revenge-spend on travel, but keep your splurges in check with your other financial priorities and goals. Top 3 takeaways:Be aware of what revenge-spending is, so you can recognize what is happening. Agree on your spending priorities and where you’re going to allow yourself to splurge.Commit to putting in place a waiting period on new purchases to avoid impulse-revenge-spending.

Episode 133 - Payments are (still) on Fire - Steve Sarracino, Founder, Activant Capital

Payments on Fire

You’d have to be aggressively disinterested in the payments industry not to be aware of its attraction to investors. The COVID-19 pandemic has done nothing to dampen the interest, if not outright enthusiasm, for the payments industry among investors of all stripes. Actually, the pandemic has lit a fire under key industry segments like the e-commerce domain, digital banking, and disbursements. The dynamics of change pushing the payments industry ahead are only increasing. Incumbent Consolidation The payments industry has been dominated by networks and processors. While networks have remained largely independent, the processing industry has undergone tremendous consolidation over the last decade, accelerated recently by the giant acquisition of First Data by Fiserv. Scale really matters in processing. But that scale comes at the cost of agility because the incumbents must rely on the systems they already have and the ones they’ve acquired. Consolidation onto just a few platforms is hard. And that means incumbents don’t benefit as clearly from newer technologies based on cloud computing and APIs. Start-ups Abound While investor interest in what are typically public companies remains strong, it is interest in start-ups and young companies demonstrating early success that drives early investors. These companies need cash to grow and equity financing is a primary source. It could be an individual with cash looking for a higher return on a portion of her portfolio. Family and friends as well as wealthy individuals are typical of “angel” investing. Venture capital is another source that often fuels the shift from proof of concept to the first minimum viable product and, often beyond, through multiple rounds of raising venture capital. Fueling the Next Incumbents Fueling the growth from business teenager-hood to young adult are growth equity firms that bulk up the business’s overall capabilities. While a cool technical idea can form the core of a new business, it takes business infrastructure like a global salesforce, enterprise-grade financial controls, and more to build a company that can execute on its potential. In this Payments on Fire® podcast, George talks with Steve Sarracino, Founder and Partner of Activant Capital, a growth equity firm based in Greenwich, CT. Steve’s firm is an investor in Finix and Bolt, companies that precisely fit his investment criteria. And he loves the payments industry for its past and, of course, for its potential. (Listen to Payments on Fire® Episode 106 with FInix's Richie Serna) Like those of us at Glenbrook, Steve sees lots of change ahead for the payments industry. And, like us at Glenbrook, he wants his company to influence and prosper from its evolution.
