Charlie Munger on the Six Pseudo-Asset Cores

1. Overpriced mansions beyond affordability: Vanity-driven home purchases turn into lifelong liabilities.

2. Luxury cars: Immediate 20% depreciation upon purchase, with annual losses of 15%-20%; should be capped at 10% of annual income.

3. Complex financial products: High-fee active funds erode over half the returns in 30 years.

4. Non-productive assets: Gold and Bitcoin generate no cash flow—essentially a greater fool game (with reservations).

5. Frequent trading: Disrupts compounding, incurs fees, and fuels emotional decisions.

6. Credit debt: High-interest credit cards are wealth vampires.
