Charlie Munger said:

I bought my first car at the age of 60.

Not because I couldn't afford it,

but because I had long realized

money is just a tool, freedom is the goal.

He compressed his lifetime wealth-building logic into two sentences:

Find what works, and do it repeatedly;

Identify what doesn't work, and avoid it resolutely.

Sounds simple,

but the hard part is one thing:

Resisting the urge to compare with others.

True strength lies in

investing time in accumulation,

not chasing fleeting fame,

nor trading for temporary applause.

Yet most people,

after a lifetime,

are merely working

for others' approval.
