Optimism is the Only Realism. You’ll learn why in my latest podcast episode. I feel compelled to talk about optimism for two reasons: 1/ Optimism is absolutely necessary for financial success – effective investing and financial planning. You need to feel you will be better off in the future you are building and you need to be confident in your investments long-term. 2/ Many young people are pessimistic today. They believe the world is in decline because of issues like climate change, and that the world is unfair with inequality. Listen to this podcast episode to find out: The beauty of capitalism. Putting climate change into perspective. Benefits of a free market. Reliability of the stock market long-term. A book I recommend, which proves the world is getting better every decade.
