My apartment in New York City. I love it and it keeps appreciating. That's the best kind of value.
Try to never make decisions driven by fear. But since we all get afraid sometimes, I think it's good to just take a long walk in the sun before making a big investment decision.
I've always hoped investing allows me to get involved in things that bring me pleasure and/or create positive change in the world - whether it's an apartment for myself or a great company advancing society.
I don't really splurge. I've been wearing the same t-shirts since I was 18.

Back in mid-2008, I got an advance for a book I co-authored and put almost all of it into the stock market. It took a lot of willpower not to pull that money out as the market continued to drop for months, but then it hit bottom and turned. In the eight years since I invested that money, the value has grown by more than 50 percent. It was a great reminder that if you can ride out the dips and downturns, you can be rewarded over time.
Pay yourself first.
Investing has already helped me realize one of my dreams: being able to buy the home in NYC where I live with my husband and two sons.
A certain tattoo I got in my 20s. It cost 10 times more to have it removed than it did to get it. And it's still visible if you look closely. It serves as a good reminder to think twice before buying anything I might later regret.

What's been your best investment?
Although at the time I wasn’t happy, investing in my future by pursuing my MBA in Finance while working full-time. It advanced my career at a young age and I’ve applied what I learned to a career in financial communications.
Best financial advice?
Don’t wait to invest. The worst decision you can make is doing nothing at all.
What dream do you hope investing helps you realize?
The first time I stayed in Laguna I fell in love with the views and calmness of the water. I’ve always hoped to own a vacation home in the Hills so I can surf every morning.
What splurge do you wish you could take back (and invest instead)?
A Lululemon sweater crop top that was more than $150. Sweaters that are crop tops don’t make any sense. Also crop tops that are more than $20 should always be reconsidered.

Funding my 401K, to the best of my ability, every year since I started working.
To start saving & investing at a young age. Like many others, I didn’t believe that I had the means or knowledge to invest. Luckily, my father guided me to make wise financial decisions at a young age — including opening up a Roth IRA in high school. While I didn’t understand the importance of these decisions back then, I now appreciate the impact they can have on your investment portfolio over the medium to long-term.

Without a doubt, it was buying my first home. Fast forward 4 years, three kiddos later, and we were able to sell it and use the profits as a down payment to buy an even better home for our family where we can live for many years to come.
Three points: 1. Life moves pretty fast, so start investing as soon as you can. Even if it’s just small amounts. (Oh, how I wish Acorns was around when I was in my 20's). 2. If your company offers a 401k, do it! No matter what! 3. No risk, no reward. In life, you need to take chances to change your future for the better.
To help my daughters through college and give them beautiful weddings, take my family on an African Safari adventure, and be able to retire early enough for my wife and me to travel the world together, and spend time with our daughters and grandchildren without worrying too much about money.
I don’t splurge often on myself, but I do enjoy spending time with friends and family over dinners/drinks. While it can add up, I believe that time with family and friends is the most important in life and I just try to be as responsible as I can in other areas.

He has authored or edited four other books: Quasi-Rational Economics, The Winner's Curse: Paradoxes and Anomalies of Economic Life, and Advances in Behavioral Finance (editor) Volumes I and II, and has published numerous articles in prominent journals such as the American Economics Review, the Journal of Finance and the Journal of Political Economy.
