Imagine you win $500 at a casino
Would you treat that $500 the same way as $500 you earned from working?
Psychologically, many people don't
Once money feels like a “win”, it can feel less valuable or less painful to risk
So someone might think:
“It's not really my money. I won it.”
But it is
The money doesn't know where it came from.
Your brain does
And that's where things get interesting
The same thing can happen in investing:
- You buy an asset for $1,000
- It rises to $1,500
- Now you feel like you're playing with “profit”
So taking a bigger risk suddenly feels easier
Nothing changed about the money
Only the story attached to it changed
~ Think before you act
