Once you start making more money, the easiest mistake is upgrading the wrong things.

You end up spending because you can afford it, but there is a better way to spend.

I spent years on Wall Street and as a CEO making tough calls about money.

So I learned these lessons by getting it wrong a lot.

Your next dollar has four possible jobs, Four categories worth upgrading immediately.

And the last one has the worst financial return.

And that one matters the most.

Money actually can buy you happiness.

Just not the way we think.

In 2010, Nobel Prize winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman suggested that happiness has a ceiling.

According to his research, when you reach $75 ,000 a year, more money doesn't seem to improve your day -to -day emotional well -being.

And for more than a decade, everyone quoted that number.

Except that it turns out we were all reading it wrong.

So in 2023, Kahneman teamed up with another researcher and they both arrived at a surprising conclusion.

For most people, more money does keep making life better.

But the relationship between money and happiness is not a straight line.

Let's say you get X amount of lift in your happiness by going from 40 ,000 to $80 ,000.

Now the same lift will happen only when you go from 80 ,000 to $160 ,000.

And then if you want a similar lift once again, then you have to go from 160 to 320 thousand dollars.

So it just takes more and more money to provide the same hit.

It seems like money behaves just like any drug.

The economic principle here is called diminishing marginal utility.

The next dollar has to work harder than the last one because it's worth less to you.

I love ice cream so I know this well.

Your fifth ice cream cone won't give you the same pleasure as your first one.

Believe me, I've tried.

So being rich and living a life that's rich in meaning are two entirely different things.

If your net worth rises while your self -worth falls, you're just rich on paper.

We want to talk about where will my next dollar create the most additional value for me?

Can the additional money buy back your health, your time, your attention?

Can it increase your future earning potential?

Can it make your relationships, your experiences, and your actual life richer?

I call it the 4S framework.

So let's use this framework to figure out what is actually worth upgrading and why.

First, stamina.

What if you showed up at work completely drunk?

What would that do to your career?

But that's exactly what happens to most of us who work hard.

We just don't know it.

In one of those landmark sleep studies,

two sleep Sleep researchers in Australia kept people awake through the night and repeatedly tested their reaction time and their coordination.

Then they compared those results with people who had been drinking.

By the end of the night, the sleep deprived group was performing as badly as the people who were drunk.

And the longer they stayed awake, the worse it got.

We all know that our ability to succeed depends on making sound decisions,

which depends on how this machine up here works, our brain.

Before you upgrade what you own, upgrade the machine that earns it.

When you underspend in this category, you'll see the adverse effect in everything downstream.

And the most important upgrade is your sleep habits.

And I'm not good at this.

I stay up late knowing I shouldn't, but also I don't have to wake up early in the morning anymore.

There was a time when I used to get up in the morning and I would have this really bad back pain.

And I remember spending days researching to find the right mattress and pillows combination.

They were more expensive, but why skimp on that?

You spend a third of your life in that bed, and that time decides the quality of the other two -thirds of your life when you're up.

The underlying principle is to spend on things that improve the quality of your decisions.

Now, the second principle is adjacent to.

Spend money when it makes the right behavior easier.

You can buy a good habit when you know that you won't build it yourself.

For instance, let's say you already know that you should work out.

You won't find time for it somehow.

same here, but maybe you put a stake in the ground by spending more on a great gym

that you will be more likely to go to.

If that doesn't work, maybe you can hire a trainer who comes to you.

They will show up even if you don't want to.

So that's how you buy a good habit.

And the third principle, spend on the bottleneck.

I realized I would work all day long while sitting in chairs and couches.

So I bought myself a standing desk.

And I've always been able to work in messy rooms.

It doesn't bother me.

But I can't work when there's noise or music playing.

So one upgrade that I made was a really good pair of noise -canceling headphones.

They were more expensive than Apple's ear pods but to me finding the silence was priceless.

Most people use money to upgrade their lifestyle.

I think it's better to upgrade your capacity to live it and enjoy it.

So that's our first S for stamina.

You know my mentor used to say this a lot, if you want to make more money don't upgrade your lifestyle, upgrade your life skills.

Long time ago I was trying to move into Wall Street.

I had spent my career in technology and I was at a company

that was acquired and it was a great exit and I thought I should do something different.

Now I had an MBA but I had not paid attention to corporate finance courses when I was at MIT.

That was something that I wasn't feeling very confident about.

So I started taking courses for CFA certification and I started teaching myself how to build complex valuation models,

how to analyze companies, how to read financial statements, and so on and so on.

And I did that for a long time and then I started applying.

And I got interviews from three very large banks and each one of them asked me about my experience.

And I would just say, listen, I don't have a lot of experience in finance,

so the best way is for you to give me a difficult financial modeling assignment.

And I would then deliver it in three or four days.

And I wasn't some insanely brilliant guy or anything.

It's just that I had practiced it over and over again before I showed up for the interview.

And then those years in investment banking helped me understand businesses at a macro level.

And I was able to do C -level roles afterwards, leading to a CEO position, and then board seats.

And the key principle here is this.

Invest in foundational skills that bring you recurring benefits.

Finance 101, communications, negotiations, time management.

The best skills don't pay you once, they keep paying you forever.

So spend your money upgrading those.

100

And you know, in the future that's heading our way,

101

the biggest differentiator for you will be your constant ability to learn new skills

102

because AI will keep commoditizing a lot of skills you have already built today.

103

So you have to keep evolving.

104

You have to keep adapting.

105

The important question that you can ask every month is this.

106

What skill gap is currently costing me the most?

107

That's where your money should be invested.

108

Every six months, create a learning budget,

109

both in terms of money and time take courses online or join an evening school or learn from mentors.

110

You know, one of the best upgrades that I made in my life was my mentors.

111

When I became the CEO, I found a mentor who had just retired after building a company worth $60 billion.

112

So just one conversation with him across the table was able to give me perspectives

113

that I wouldn't have been able to discover for myself for years to come.

114

The best thing you can buy is something no one can take away from you.

115

And now we go to the third job, security.

116

The richer you get, the more expensive your mistakes become.

117

Making money and keeping money require totally different skills.

118

In 2021, everybody was talking about this hedge fund called Archegos, and they were riding high.

119

They had a portfolio of stocks that looked so spectacularly successful.

120

Tens of billions of dollars.

121

But there was one problem.

122

Most of that portfolio was financed with borrowed money.

123

It's called leverage in finance.

124

So when a few of those stocks in the fund started going south, the fund could not meet the margin calls.

125

And banks rushed to sell the collateral.

126

The entire enterprise collapsed within days.

127

Credit Suisse lost $5 .5 billion dollars.

128

Never recovered.

129

So here's the principle that I always remember.

130

Wealth is often billed by making smart huge bets, but it's preserved by making smart hedges.

131

When I was a teen, I ran away from my house and I was homeless for a

132

while and I know what zero feels like

133

and maybe that's why once I finally build some financial distance

134

from zero I've always asked one question what could send me back there

135

and you have to hedge against three key risks first concentration I had a personal

136

and painful experience with this risk I I held a large position in a single stock.

137

And the stock went from $19 to $140.

138

And my advisor started telling me, hey, you gotta implement some hedging strategies to protect the downside.

139

But I was so bullish, and I didn't do anything about it.

140

And when the fall came, man, it came so fast and furious.

141

We had no time to adjust and recover.

142

So, once you have real savings, upgrade the savings by diversifying and hedging your risks.

143

Keep enough emergency funds so if a market crash happens or there's a job loss or you've had a bad year,

144

it doesn't force you to take more risks.

145

Those extra dollars should buy you peace of mind.

146

Second, constraints.

147

Now, this is another upgrade in terms of security that I learned late in my life.

148

I call it the BATNA fund.

149

BATNA is a term that I learned from negotiators.

150

Your better alternative to negotiated agreement.

151

BATNA.

152

Or simply put, your ability to have a better option in your back pocket when you're negotiating the current one.

153

So I was able to walk away from a job for example

154

that didn't excite me because I had saved enough money to get through six

155

or nine months of job search upgrade your batna fund

156

and finally complexity once your finances become meaningfully more complex it's

157

a good idea to upgrade to a tax accountant for example

158

or even hire a financial planner They can help you work through your choices.

159

A good attorney can also make sense

160

because you can then take care of your estate plan

161

and you should always have an estate plan because that's your way to provide security to those you love.

162

A very good friend of mine who's a CEO of a

163

very large company in LA lost his entire house including all the furniture to the fires in Los Angeles

164

and he and his family had to rebuild their entire life from scratch.

165

But he had planned his life well.

166

He had allocated his extra money for those specific risks so he didn't have to start back from zero.

167

But stuff like that can happen to any of us and that's why upgrading your financial security is the best move.

168

Now once you've done that, there is one final question left.

169

What exactly are you protecting all of this for?

170

This last upgrade has the worst financial returns.

171

And that's the best part.

172

That's our fourth S.

173

Soul.

174

Being rich and living a life that's rich in meaning are two entirely different things.

175

And there are three places where an upgrade to make your life genuinely richer makes sense.

176

The first is for yourself.

177

Spend money on things you love.

178

Things that truly light you up.

179

Music, painting, cooking, golf, photography, whatever it is.

180

I was trained in Indian classical music.

181

When I got to a point when I could afford it, I paid for the courses at Berklee School of Music in Boston.

182

Because I wanted to learn about Western principles of harmony and melody and I got to learn from a world -class faculty.

183

I learned how they think about music, how they feel about music, how they see music.

184

And those courses are expensive, but those lessons enriched my life in so many ways.

185

It was an amazing experience.

186

You can find and fund your amazing experiences the same way.

187

It's part of being generous toward your own self.

188

The second upgrade is for the people you love.

189

There is an old quip I heard somewhere.

190

A seeker asks a wise man, what matters more in life, the journey or the destination?

191

And the wise man says, neither.

192

What matters is the person you travel with.

193

In 1938, Harvard researchers started following hundreds of people across their entire adult life.

194

They tracked their careers, health, marriages, failures, successes, everything.

195

That study, by the way, is still running today, almost 90 years later.

196

Years into the research, they asked a simple question.

197

What factors in our midlife best predicts our happiness and health when we're 80?

198

One factor stood out again and again, the quality of our relationships.

199

The people who were more satisfied in their relationships at 50 were the healthiest at 80.

200

So invest your time and money for those who care about you.

201

Have dinner with your life partner.

202

Go see a Broadway show together.

203

Take long walks.

204

And same for the family.

205

Take your kids somewhere they'll remember.

206

Create the moment that becomes a story.

207

Because that's all you're going to remember later.

208

When you can afford to upgrade your life, please upgrade your generosity for others as well.

209

Help a stranger.

210

Support something you believe in.

211

Volunteer.

212

Build someone so they can believe in themselves.

213

And it doesn't have to be just money, right?

214

It could be your time.

215

So that's the framework.

216

Stamina, skills, security, and soul.

217

And now you can go ahead and make your own list of upgrades that fit into these categories.

218

You know one of my favorite movies is Arrival and at its heart it asks a really hard and almost heartbreaking question.

219

If you knew something would eventually end would you still choose to go ahead with it?

220

You may have your own answer but my answer is yes, of course.

221

The value of life or relationship does not come from its permanence.

222

Our time here is brief, we know that, but that brevity doesn't reduce its beauty.

223

Maybe that's the ultimate upgrade.

224

Using what you have to build a life that matters to you.

225

Thank you and I love you.
