One Wealth Beyond Money Idea
Antifragile Wealth
Build as many forms of wealth as possible.
We are living in confusing times and wealth is being created in areas outside the traditional trade-time-for-money formula from recent decades. It seems like every day another NFT millionaire who had no idea what NFTs were a few months ago is all over social media. Admittedly I’m curious and the financial scientist inside of me wants to dip my toes and see what all the fuss is about.
However realizing that analog forms of wealth are just as important, deciding how much time to spend in this brave new world begins by assessing how antifragile my wealth is to ensure my most important needs are being abundantly met.
Breathable air? Drinkable water? Decentralized food sources? Safety and security? These needs seem to me the most immediate, and could still use some redundancies in my personal setup.
As a society we have come to rely on currency to meet the majority of our needs including needs that are easier met through human connection.
Consumerism, as I have come to see it, is a misguided attempt to meet higher order needs like love, belonging, self-worth, and mastery via buying things. If you are too busy to invest time in human connections then logically you look for the easiest, most convenient way to meet a need no matter how unsatisfying and unfulfilling it might be.
In a world where the nature of money and currency is up for debate my antifragile approach to wealth is to strengthen my personal relationships. Consider what money can do a friend can do better. This newsletter is all about building community in response to uncertainty around money and currency to enhance our wealth into something more antifragile.
Beyond Wealth and Money
A book reccomendation: How To Live 27 Conflicting Answers and One Weird Conclusion by Derek Sivers. Each chapter disagrees with the rest. But in this case, they’re all true, so how can you reconcile it? You’ll see. What I enjoy most about this book is it reminds you life is your masterpiece and you are it’s creative director. Take risks, be unconventional.
