Vivere è pericoloso perchè si può morire
It’s why personal finance is personal.
Now, when I hear that phrase, I’m reminded of a true story, an anecdote from the book, Better Dads, Stronger Sons, by Rick Johnson:
Charles Francis Adams, son of President John Quincy Adams and grandson of President John Adams, kept a diary. One day he entered: “Went fishing with my son today—a day wasted.”
His son, Brook Adams, also kept a diary, which is still in existence. On that same day, Brook Adams made this entry: “Went fishing with my father—the most wonderful day of my life!”
The father thought he was wasting time while fishing with his son, but his son saw it as an investment of time.
