Original English You don't need a massive salary to become a millionaire. The playbook that top 1% used to manage their money, you can learn those rules.
我曾在华尔街工作，担任过首席执行官，并花了数年时间为一些极度富有的人提供咨询。而对于我自己的资金，我也犯过一些真正愚蠢且代价惨重的错误。我将带你了解四条违背直觉的资金管理规则，而第四条改变了我的人生。
Original English I have worked on Wall Street, been a CEO, and spent years advising some exceptionally wealthy people. And I have also made some really dumb and expensive mistakes with my own money. I'll walk you through four counterintuitive rules for managing your money. And the fourth one changed my life.
### 金钱的两个计分板 你的财务状况可能遇到的最危险的事情是什么？那就是你的邻居中了彩票。这是我所了解到的个人理财领域最奇特的事情之一。费城联邦储备银行的经济学家研究了加拿大 10 年间的彩票中奖者。随后他们观察了住在同一条街上的人。头奖金额越大，邻居破产的可能性就越高。你可能会思考并问，为什么会这样？
Original English What's the most dangerous thing that can happen to your finances? Your neighbor winning the lottery. It's one of the weirdest things in personal finance that I've learned. Economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia studied 10 years of lottery winners in Canada. Then they looked at the people who lived on the same street. The bigger the jackpot, the more likely it was that the neighbors would go bankrupt. And you think about it and say why?
中彩票的是他们的邻居，并不是他们，但他们却开始像中奖者一样去消费，因为金钱有两个计分板，而大多数人关注的是错误的那一个。第一个计分板是每个人都能看到的：你的新车、你的度假、更大的露台、新房子，以及其他看得见的成功标志。第二个计分板则几乎是隐形的：你的储蓄、投资、债务，以及你对自己的人生拥有多少控制权。为什么有这么多聪明且成功的人依然身无分文？因为在第一个计分板上获胜很容易，但却在第二个计分板上输掉了。
Original English Their neighbor won the lottery, they didn't, but they started spending like they did because money has two scoreboards and most people watch the wrong one. The first one everyone can see. Your new car, your vacations, a bigger deck, new home, other visible signs of success. The second is [music] almost invisible. Your savings, investments, debt, and how much control you have over your own life. Why do so many smart and successful people stay broke? Because it's easy to win on the first scoreboard and lose on the second.
策略规则在这里发生了变化： - **为了赚钱**，你必须展现相应的姿态，你必须被看见； - **为了守钱**，你必须停止炫耀。 - **为了赚钱**，你必须下大注； - **为了守钱**，你不能让单次下注将你彻底摧毁。 - **为了赚钱**，你需要自信； - **为了守钱**，你需要谦逊。
Original English Here's how the playbook changes. To make money, you have to look the part, you have to be seen. To keep it, you have to stop showing off. To make money, you have to take big, bets, but to keep it, you can't let a single bet wipe you out. To make money, you need confidence. To keep it, you need humility.
这就是为什么管理金钱需要一套不同的规则。我使用四条规则，我称之为 FREE——F、R、E、E。
Original English That's why managing money requires a different set of rules. I use four rules. I call it free, F R E E.
### 第一条规则：Freedom（自由） 让我们从第一个开始：**自由**（Freedom）。[轻嗤] 你有多富有？答案不是多少美元，而是多少个月。如果你的薪水明天停止发放，你认为自己能像现在这样继续生活多久？所以，用你的储蓄除以你的每月开销。假设你存了 20,000 美元，每月需要 4,000 美元，这意味着你大约有 5 个月的喘息空间。现在，如果你能舒适地靠每月 3,000 美元生活，你将拥有近 7 个月的喘息空间。 这样一来，你没有多赚一美元，却变得更富有了。
Original English Let's start with the first one, freedom. [snorts] How rich are you? The answer is not dollars, but months. If your paycheck stopped tomorrow, how long do you think you could keep living the way you do? So take your savings and divide it by your monthly expenses. So let's say if you have saved $20,000 and you need $4,000 a month, that means you've got about 5 months of breathing room. Now if you could comfortably live on $3,000 a month, you would have almost 7 months of breathing room. So you just got richer without earning a single extra dollar.
我给你举我自己的例子。当我被解雇时，我的积蓄足够让自己独自维持生存 9 个多月。这给了我独立性，给了我选择权。我不需要被迫接受摆在我面前的第一份工作。所以，这里最简单的转变是：别再叫它储蓄了，称它为买回时间。因此，在薪水到账的那一天，先买回属于你的时间，然后再去花剩下的部分。因为目标不是停止工作，而是去做你所选择的事情。
Original English I'll give you my example. When I got fired, I had saved enough to survive for more than 9 months on my own. And that gave me independence. That gave me choices. I didn't have to take the first job that came my way. So here's the simplest shift. Stop calling it saving. Call it buying back time. So the day your paycheck lands, buy your time first. Then spend what's left. Because the goal isn't to stop working, is to work on things you choose.
但你究竟要如何实现这一目标？构建你的复利跑道。 西尔维娅·布鲁姆（Sylvia Bloom）曾是纽约市的一名法律秘书。[音乐] 她不是名人，也不是首席执行官。她在同一家律师事务所坐地铁上下班长达 67 年。而当她离世时，她凭借一份秘书的薪水积累了超过 900 万美元的净资产。
Original English But how do you actually get there? Build your compounding runway. Sylvia Bloom was a legal [music] secretary in New York City. And she wasn't a celebrity or a CEO. She took the subway to work at the same law firm for 67 years. And when she passed away, she had built more than $9 million of net worth a secretary's salary.
她显然不像我。我去开市客（Costco）买支牙膏，回家时却带了台电视。但你今天花掉的每一美元，都是你无法投资到明天的美元。如果你每个月投资 1,000 美元，假设年化回报率为 7%，会发生什么？20 年后，你的账户里将拥有 50 万美元。而在 30 年后，资产达到 120 万美元，你就成为了百万富翁。在最后的这 10 年里，你只额外投入了 120,000 美元，但你的资金自身就增加了将近 600,000 美元。你的钱最终赚得比你还多，而且它从来不需要你给它升职。 顺便说一句，我很想请大家帮个小忙。很多观众每周都在观看，但实际上还没有订阅。如果你是其中之一，请花 2 秒钟点击订阅。这样你就能持续获取工具，希望能改变你的生活和成长方式。这也能帮助我们为你带来更深入、更高质量的内容。感谢你这样做。
Original English She clearly wasn't like me. I go to Costco to buy a toothpaste and then come home with a television. But every dollar you spend today is a dollar you can't invest in your tomorrow. What happens if you invest say $1,000 every month assuming a 7% annual return? After 20 years, you will have half a million dollars in your account. And after 30 years, you become a millionaire at 1.2 million. And in those last 10 years, you put in only 120,000 more. Your money on its own added almost 600,000. Your money ended up making more than you did. And it never asked you for a promotion. And by the way, a quick favor I'd love to ask.

### 第二条规则：Resilience（韧性） 现在我们必须解决下一个问题。你可能花了 20 年去建立那种自由，却在一天之内失去它。这就是我们接下来的主题：**韧性**（Resilience）。 投资时你一定会亏钱，每个人都会亏钱。真正的危险是失去东山再起的能力。有时，面对你的金钱，最明智的做法就是什么都别做。
Original English And now we have to address the next problem. You can spend 20 years building that freedom and lose it in one day. That's where we go next. Resilience. You will lose money when you invest. Everybody does. The real danger is losing your ability to recover. Sometimes the smartest thing you can do with your money is absolutely nothing.
2025 年 10 月 10 日，一项关于对华关税的公告引发了加密货币的大规模抛售。超过 190 亿美元的杠杆交易仓位被直接彻底平仓，波及了 160 万名交易者。 当时，单纯持有比特币的人可以选择继续持仓，但那些大举借贷进行投机的人根本无法支撑。而当你用借来的钱进行投资——比如保证金杠杆交易——且市场走势对你不利时，你根本没有机会等待行情回暖。你会被迫在最糟糕的时刻卖出。
Original English On October 10, 2025, one announcement about tariffs on China triggered a massive crypto sell-off. Over $19 billion dollars leveraged trading positions were just completely liquidated and it affected 1.6 million traders. Now, people who simply owned Bitcoin could choose to hold on, but those who had borrowed heavily to speculate just couldn't. And when you invest with borrowed money like trading on margin and the market moves against you, you don't get to wait for the comeback. You're forced to sell at the worst possible moment.
因此，以明智方式管理资金的人遵循一个原则：**绝不承担无法翻身的损失**。 我曾持有一家上市公司的大量仓位。该股票表现良好，公司业绩也很好，但后来发生了一些意外，股价最终跌去了近 90% 的价值。幸运的是，那笔投资占我整体投资组合的比例不足 10%。因此，亏损虽然非常痛苦，但不是灾难性的，我能够从中恢复过来。 那么，你怎么知道自己能承担多少风险呢？这取决于两件事： 1. 你所处的人生阶段，或者说在遭遇某种挫折后你拥有多少时间来恢复； 2. 你究竟能在不恐慌的情况下承受多大的风险和波动。
Original English So, the people who manage money the smart way follow one principle, never take a loss you can't come back from. I had a large position in a public company. The stock was doing well, the company was doing well, but something happened and stock eventually lost almost 90% of its value. That investment fortunately was less than 10% of my overall portfolio. So, yes, the loss was very painful, but not catastrophic. I could recover from that. So, how do you know how much risk you can take? Well, it depends on two things. First, your stage in life or how much time do you have to recover from some kind of a setback. And second, how much risk and volatility can you actually tolerate without panicking?
关于韧性，我的一种思考方式是搭建你的金钱金字塔： - **底部是你的现金**。这是你的基石，必须非常坚固，它是代表你数月自由的缓冲。它不会让你发财，但意味着你永远不必在最糟糕的时刻抛售资产。 - **中部是最大的组成部分**。包括指数基金、你的 401(k) 退休计划、以及你稳健的长期投资。这就是复利发挥魔力的地方。 - **顶部很小**，占总资产的 5% 到 10%。你所有的个股、加密货币、以及朋友推荐的内部炒作消息都可以放在这里。高风险，高回报，但有封顶限制。 你知道吗？它不一定非要是 5% 或 10%，它也可以是零。最大的错误就是把这个金字塔倒过来搭建：底部单薄，而在顶端重仓下注。那恰恰就是在加密货币崩盘中被彻底清仓的投资人类型。
Original English So, one way I think about resilience is to build your money pyramid. The base is your cash. This is your foundation. It has to be very strong. Your months of freedom. It won't make you rich, but it means you never have to sell at the worst moment. The middle is the biggest part. Index funds, your 401k, your steady long-term investments. And this is where compounding does its magic. And the top is small, 5 to 10% of your total. That's where all your individual stocks, your crypto, your friends' hot tip can go. High risk, high reward, but capped. And you know what? It doesn't have to be 5 or 10%. It can be zero. The biggest mistake is to build this pyramid upside down. The thin base and a huge bet on top. That's exactly the kind of investor who got wiped out during that crypto crash.
你随时可以问我所说的“归零问题”：如果这项投资明天归零，我在财务上是否仍然安好？如果答案是否定的，那么这次下注可能就太大了。并且，绝不要把借来的钱投入到任何可能归零的东西上。因为目标不是赢下每一笔投资，而是留在牌桌上足够长的时间，让胜利产生意义。 顺便说一句，如果你喜欢这类工具，你会喜欢我的时事通讯。它每周二发出：一个见解、一个工具、一种实践。我很喜欢写它，链接在下方。
Original English And you can always ask what I call the zero question. If this investment went to zero tomorrow, would I still be okay financially? If the answer is no, the bet is probably too large. And never put borrowed money into anything that could go to zero. Because the goal isn't to win every investment. It's to stay in the game long enough for the wins to matter.

### 第三条规则：Ego（自我与自负） 好了，现在你保护了自己创造的财富。但对你的金钱而言，最大的风险不是市场，而是你自己。你越聪明、越成功，你对待自己的钱就可能越危险。获胜往往是聪明人亏钱的开端。我做出的一些最愚蠢的财务决策，正来自于我最自以为聪明的想法。 这就是为什么第三条规则是 **自我/自负**（Ego）：别成为自己的阻碍。
Original English Okay, so now you protected what you built. But the biggest risk to your money isn't the market. It's you. The smarter and more successful you are, the more dangerous you can be with your own money. Winning is how smart people lose money. Some of my dumbest money decisions came from my smartest ideas. That's why rule three is ego. Get out of your own way.
前段时间，我建立了一个非常精巧的期权交易模型。你知道的，就是衍生品和外汇交易等等。它原本是设计用来管理风险的，而且曾经表现极佳，我也乐在其中。接着不出所料，我变得过度自信，做出了一个糟糕的判断，仅在一天之内就把所有收益全都回吐了。所幸它在我整体投资组合中依然只占很小的比例，所以没有彻底拖垮我们。但这教会了我宝贵的一课：期权交易可以是有用的，专业人士每天都在用它来对冲风险，这本身没有任何问题；然而一旦你的自负卷入其中，它瞬间就变成了赌博。
Original English A while back, I built a really clever model to trade options. You know, derivatives and forex trading and so on. And it was designed to manage risk. And it had a great run. I was enjoying it. And then, of course, I got overconfident, made that one bad judgment, and gave back all my gains just in a single day. And it was a small part of my portfolio again, so it didn't sink us. But it taught me something valuable. Options trading can be useful. Professionals use it every day to hedge risk. There is nothing wrong with it. it turns into gambling the moment your ego gets involved.
现在把这和我的一位朋友对比一下。他是位天才量化专家，曾在纽约乃至全球规模最大的对冲基金之一 Two Sigma 工作。他生平的工作就是设计风险模型。那么他把自己的钱投在哪里呢？指数基金。我感到非常惊讶，我问他：“为什么要这么做？你们平时总是能跑赢大盘啊。” 他说：“是的，我们有时确实能跑赢，但这很正常。然而，持续跑赢市场是极其困难的，因为你在与专业对冲基金竞争。而他们的优势是你不具备的资源：他们花费数十亿美元在数据、研究、人才和高速量化算法上。即便如此，他们中的大多数人仍然无法战胜市场。” 沃伦·巴菲特（Warren Buffett）曾立下百万美元赌局，赌一只简单的标普 500 指数基金能击败一组对冲基金。10 年后，那些对冲基金的平均回报率仅为 36%，而指数基金的回报率高达 126%。
Original English And now compare that to a friend of mine, a genius quant who used to work at Two Sigma, one of the biggest hedge funds in New York, maybe perhaps in the world. And he used to design risk models for living. And where does he put his own money? Index funds. And I was so surprised. I asked him, why do that? You guys beat the market all the time. And he said, yes, we do, of course, sometimes. But consistently beating the market is incredibly difficult because you're competing against professional hedge funds. And their edge is resources you don't have. They spend billions on data and research and talent and high-speed trading algos. And most of them still can't get there. Warren Buffett once made a million dollar bet that a simple S&P 500 index fund would beat a group of hedge funds. 10 years later, the hedge funds averaged just 36 %. The index fund returned 126 %.
所以，这里是供你使用的系统：在进行任何投资之前，写下三行字： 1. **你为什么要买入**。 2. **设想一年后它下跌了 50%：为什么会这样？发生了什么？** 这将帮助你诚实面对下行风险。 3. **什么样的证据会促使你卖出？** 趁着现在头脑冷静时做出决定。 而在每次盈利后，重新阅读你的第一行字。如果它上涨并不是因为你写下的那个原因，那就是运气。一旦你的运气开始让你感觉像个人能力，[清嗓子] 危险也就随之开始了。
Original English So here's your system. Before any investment, write down three lines. One, why you're buying. Two, imagine it's down 50 % a year later. Why? What happened? That would help you be honest about the downside risk. And three, what evidence would make you sell? Decide now when you're calm. And after every win, read your first line again. If it didn't win for that reason, it was luck. The danger starts the moment your luck starts feeling like [clears throat] skill.
### 第四条规则：Enough（知足） 好的，你正在构建自由，保护已获得的财富，并学会了不成为自己的绊脚石。但还剩下一个问题，而这可能是所有问题中最重要的一个：当你拥有的已经超过所需时，为什么依然感觉不够？ 第四条规则是 **知足**（Enough）：决定你的金钱是用来做什么的。 我有一位深交多年的 CEO 朋友，曾管理着一家价值数十亿美元的上市公司。对他而言，那是一周七天无休止的苦工，尽管他已经比年轻时的自己所能想象的还要富有了。因此我不断问他：什么时候才能慢下来？他总是回答：“等我赚够了的时候。”然后我们两个都会笑起来。 后来不出所料，有一天公司遭遇挫折，数十亿美元的市值在一夜之间蒸发殆尽。如果他早点变现退出，本可以带着数亿美元安然离场；而实际上，他离开时所剩无几。
Original English So okay, you're building freedom, protecting what you've earned, and learning how to get out of your way. But one question remains, and it may be the most important question of all. When you have more than you need, why doesn't it feel like enough? Rule number four is enough. Decide what your money is for. A CEO and a friend of mine I know well was running a multi-billion dollar company, publicly traded, so it was an endless seven day a week grind for him. Even though he was already richer than his younger self could have ever imagined. So I kept asking where and when would he slow down? And he would always say when I have enough. And we would both laugh. And then, of course, one day the company stumbled and billions evaporated from its market cap overnight. And if he had cashed out earlier, he could have walked away with hundreds of millions of dollars. Instead, he walked away with very little.
他绝非特例，我们大家都在追逐同样的东西。哈佛大学的研究人员曾询问 2,000 多名百万富翁：还需要多少钱才能感到彻底快乐？无论他们已经拥有多少，答案总是至少翻倍。 现在，我并不是在说“嘿，不要再想要更多了”。因为野心恰恰是构建你所拥有的一切的核心引擎。问题并不在于你在追求更卓越或更大的成功，而在于你为了达到那个目标所放弃的东西。 知足并不是终点线，它是一层底线地板。一旦你把它筑牢，当然，你可以继续向上攀登；但请确保你脚下的地板不会在身下分崩离析。 我的规则很简单：**绝不要为你想要的东西，去冒失去你必需之物的风险。**
Original English And he's not the exception. We all chase the same thing. Harvard researchers asked more than 2,000 millionaires how much more money they would need to be perfectly happy. And no matter how much they had, the answer was always at least double. Now, I'm not saying, hey, stop wanting more. Because ambition is the very engine that builds everything you have. The problem isn't that you're chasing more excellence or more success. It's what you give up to get there. Enough is not a finish line. It's a floor. Once you build it, sure, you can keep climbing. But make sure that floor doesn't crumble away beneath you. My rule is simple. Never risk what you need for what you want.
那么你该如何弄清自己的“知足”界限在哪里？[音乐] 按照以下明确的顺序，列出三份清单： 1. **你的“成为”（to-be）清单**：你想成为什么样的人？健康、陪伴所爱之人、对身边的人友善慷慨、保持终身学习——所有这些都列入其中。 2. **你的“去做”（to-do）清单**：你一生中想做什么？[音乐] 与你爱的人一起旅行、创造有意义的事物、学习弹吉他，无论是什么。 3. **然后，且只有在这之后，列出你的第三份清单：你的“拥有”（to-have）清单**。[音乐] 你究竟需要拥有什么，才能让前两份清单成为可能？一份旅行基金、足够买回时间的储蓄、一栋房子、一把好的吉他，诸如此类。 请保持务实。显然，你可能想要旅行，但你真的需要一架湾流 G650 吗？我总是会问：如果没有任何人能看到它，我还会想要它吗？一旦你给第三份清单标定了价格，你就得到了你的“足够”数字。 然而令人惊讶的是，[音乐] 我们大多数人在列这些清单时都是颠倒过来的。我们先从自己想要“拥有”什么开始，寄希望于它能让我们成为想成为的人。这从来行不通，因为你想要拥有的清单是无穷无尽的，但你在这个地球上的时间却不是。 所以，你可能比自己想象的要更富有，你只是还没有清点那些你并不需要的东西。
Original English So how do you figure out what your enough is? Make [music] three lists in this specific order. First, your to be list. What do you want to be? Healthy, present for your loved ones, kind and generous to people around you, someone who's always learning, all that goes in that list. Second, your to do list. What do you want to do with your life? [music] Travel with the people you love, build something meaningful, learn to play the guitar, whatever it is. [music] And then, and only then, make your third list, your [music] to have list. What do you actually need to own to make the first two lists possible? A travel fund, enough savings to buy back your time, a home, a good guitar, whatever. And be practical. Obviously, you may want to travel, but do you really need that Gulfstream G650? I always ask, if no one could ever see it, would I still want it? Once you price that third list, you get to your enough number. Here's the surprising part [music] though. Most of us build those lists backwards. We start with what we want to have first, hoping it'll make us who we want to be. That never works out because your to have list is limitless and your time on this earth isn't. So you're probably richer than you know. You just haven't counted what you don't need.
托尔斯泰曾写过一个关于农夫的精彩故事。农夫得到了一桩非同寻常的交易：他在一天之内能走过的所有土地都将归他所有，但条件是他必须在日落前回到出发点。[音乐] 他走得很快，后来甚至跑了起来。每次当他准备往回返时，都会看到前方一片更美丽的田野。心想，自己肯定也得把那里拿下，对吧？就再翻过一座山丘，再走过一片草地。但到了下午，他意识到自己走得太远了，[音乐] 必须狂奔回去。他拼命地跑，但当他赶回起点时，已经筋疲力尽，[轻嗤] 随即倒地猝死。 他的仆人为他挖了一座坟墓，[音乐] 六英尺的土地。 那就是他全部所需的了。 谢谢大家，爱你们。
Original English Tolstoy wrote this amazing story about a peasant and he is offered an extraordinary deal. He can own as much land as he can walk around in one day, but the condition is he must [music] be back where he started by sunset. He walks fast, he even starts running. Every time he's about to turn back, he sees a beautiful field ahead. Well, he must have that too, right? Just one more hill, one more meadow. But by the afternoon, he realizes he's [music] gone too far. He has to race back. He runs feverishly, but by the time he reaches where he started, he's so exhausted [snorts] that he collapses and he dies. His servant digs him [music] a grave, 6 ft land. That's all he needed. Thank you. And I love you.
