I asked this question at a "party" recently and common answers concerned assertiveness, patience and impulse control. What say you?

Less is more, the less you spend the more money you have. It is being thrifty which the Boy Scouts taught.

If time is money, you are literally saving yourself time. When there is less finacial pressue to overwork, you'll find a way to navigate toward not over working. Not spending money simply because you have it is the first step.

I read Dilbert, work smarter not harder, laugh or you'll go insane.

Discernment.

I can be skeptical and moderated - but it doesn't lead to the discernment of being effective and efficient to get ahead. If I earned as much as I should I'd be farther ahead - but I've never prioritized income. I volunteer, go down rabbit holes, start lots of projects with hopes, but only finish some - and they're not lucrative. I am fortunate that I've stayed clear of cray chicks.

I tell them to get a life. Sometimes I need to get a life.

This one isn't true for me personally. I haven't told people to get a life even once.

I congratulate you for that, not everyone can admit that.

"Code in Erlang and Elixir. They are cool languages." But do I code in those languages? Not really.

I'm still learning Python. I collect Python eBooks but never get around to reading them.

Yep. Same, but for me with those language. I've found an inverse correlation between the number of ebooks I hord on a subject and if I actually read it.

With Python, it basically has a few really powerful libraries. I'd suggest learning just one of those killer libraries and not worrying about the language first. Pytorch is cool.
