Do you remember when you lost your sense of money?
You used to ask for the price. You compared cheap and expensive.
After the day you made a profit, it feels like everything becomes "acquirable." And the strange thing is, you don't even notice this change.
Money is no longer a number; if it has become something spent without feeling, whose value cannot be measured, then there is a loss of control rather than a gain. As traders, we fall into this mistake: We are planned on the chart, but we are unmeasured in real life.
Your mind says: "I won't worry about this product. It will bounce back from trading anyway." And thus, the concept of price is erased. The connection with the real value of money is broken.
🔁 When Should It Stop?
-If you don't remember the price after buying a product -"Were you cheap?" If you don't even ask yourself. -And most importantly, if the phrase "I'm already winning" has turned into an excuse → it's time for a mental brake.
As it becomes easier to earn money, it becomes harder to be selective when spending. However, the mind that earns money and the mind that spends it are not always the same. True profit lies in the ability to govern behavior, not money.
