If you found out today that you would die tomorrow, how would you feel about your savings account?<\/span><\/p>\n

No doubt your feelings will depend on your personal situation. Are you leaving behind a wife and kids with no savings?<\/a> Are you kicking it as a bachelor with expensive belongings that will be sold at an estate sale someday?<\/p>\n

Anyone who\u2019s read around the blogosphere long enough has run into a number of trendy personal finance philosophies like YOLO, FOMO, FONSY, and the Less is More mentality of frugality.<\/p>\n

And while on the surface it might appear that it\u2019s all about the benjamins, the deeper you look the more it becomes spookily clear that what\u2019s really at play are conflicting philosophies on mortality.<\/p>\n

\"dwight<\/a><\/p>\n

YOLO<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cYou only live once\u201d is pretty obvious in its undertones of life and death. But when people use #yolo as a hashtag, do you think they really mean it? Depending on your religious beliefs, it may even be sacrilegious to make decisions based on the idea you\u2019ll only live once!<\/p>\n

FOMO<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A little more subtle, a \u201cfear of missing out\u201d indicates that you don\u2019t believe in the equal importance of every experience. If you never stop thinking about what you could be missing out on, you never truly take into account the people you\u2019re with, the thing you\u2019re doing, or the experience you\u2019re having. Without doing a thing, you\u2019ve discredited your existence as it is with the fear that something better is happening somewhere else!<\/p>\n

FONSY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A little-known acronym, a \u201cfear of not saying yes\u201d puts the power of your life into the hands of someone else. It\u2019s not about what you want to do and what you need to do, it\u2019s what the people around you want and how you are trying to come across to them. FONSY begs the question, \u201cWho is in charge of your life?,\u201d and often the answer is surprising.<\/p>\n

Less is More<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Finally something more positive — the \u201cLess is More\u201d philosophy asks you to refocus on what you do have and appreciate it. Rather than surrounding yourself with new things or tons of distractions, you choose to slow down and give more attention to your surroundings , resulting in more satisfaction\u2026 with less.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s likely rare that someone would hear of a money philosophy and follow it blindly, it\u2019s worth thinking about. When you espouse one of these philosophies, does it really align with your thoughts on life and death? If it\u2019s not accurate, you might want to think again.<\/p>\n

Have you ever let a moment be guided by one of these philosophies? Do they align with your deeper philosophies? What is your money philosophy?<\/strong><\/p>\n
