Big check syndrome

Dec. 4, 2018

Introduction


It is the term I learned from "The 20 rules of money" 21:22 - 23:00/ 25:27. I like to apply one of rules big check syndrome to my case study: Personal finance analysis from 1999 to 2001, since I found out that over $100,000 net income from 1999 to 2001 is gone. Nothing left when I left USA to immigrate to Canada in 2010. It is best example to explain called big check syndrome.

Nothing left



It is true that nothing left for those $100,000 US dollars from 1999 to 2001. I only had the gift to my mom a condo and now its market value over $100,000 US dollars. My mom passed away last year, but I did not own anything based on the paper work. As a Christian, I also learn not to argue with my siblings if there is any dispute.

22:34/25:27

Would you rather give you a half million dollars or would you rather take an income stream, guaranteed, $100,000 over 20 years.

Let me tell you why the $100,000 allows you to do more. 22:58/25:27

23:05/25:27
See, this gives me the opportunity to have a stronger backing to make bigger decisions to get bigger doubles.

It's irrelevant if you don't know how to play the money game.

This [income] is a very, very important game, so don't get too crazy about big check syndrome. And all of a sudden fall for it and lose everything that you got because it can totally mess up your net worth and you work all the way back to your double.
