Stoicism + Investing: Become a Wealthy Stoic

Stoicism + Investing: Become a Wealthy Stoic

How can you become a wealthy Stoic? Stoicism is about living a simple, virtuous life. That’s why many people have the misconception that being Stoic means refusing material wealth.


But that’s not the case. The other thing about Stoicism is focusing on what you control and ignoring everything else. This is how you live a wealthy life while remaining Stoic.


Epictetus, the only Stoic philosopher who wasn’t born into wealth (he was a slave), said it well:


“If you can make money remaining honest, trustworthy, and dignified, by all means do it. But you don’t have to make money if you have to compromise your integrity.”


In this video, I give you practical techniques and strategies to get better at investing, whether you’re a beginner or experienced investor.


These tips will ensure you stick to Stoic principles while building long-term wealth.
