Learn To Say No 'Yes', and a lot of it, is what makes a marriage go bad. We don't know how to say 'no', simply because we find it hard to do. It is always important to listen to your spouse, but that does not mean you will always agree with each other. Compromising and agreeing to disagree relieves a lot of stress. Not saying 'no' also ruins an investor's wealth. 1. Yes, one more stock and I know this one will certainly multiply 5 times in 2 years. 2. Yes, one more IPO and I'll borrow to apply since it can give me huge listing gains. 3. Yes, one more mutual fund- this one has been the best performer over the past 1 year. "No, I won't!" or "No, I can't." is a simple way to lead a happy married life. Just remove those barriers in your mind to saying "no". Most of the times (in fact, all of the times), these barriers are created to impress your spouse and show that nothing's impossible for you. And this is what causes tensions to build up. So, learn to say no. In investing, learn to say "no" to investment advice that doesn't meet your needs. Once you do that, you'll find how easy it actually is.
