In recent years, the term FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) has become increasingly common, especially in the investment world. FOMO arises when someone feels a "fear of missing out" on a trend, whether it's because they see others making huge profits from stocks, crypto, or a particular business. This feeling drives people to jump on the bandwagon without thorough analysis, simply because they fear being late to the market. As a result, many end up experiencing losses because decisions are made based on emotion, not planning.
Unlike FOMO, financial mastery is a state where someone understands how to manage money consciously and strategically. Those with financial mastery are less easily swayed by the current because they have a clear financial plan: knowing when to save, when to invest, and when to postpone. This mastery comes from learning habits, making rational calculations, and understanding risks and long-term goals.
The FOMO phenomenon is often amplified by social media. When your timeline is filled with other people's accomplishments, like buying a house, a car, or making money from investments, it's easy to feel envious and want to emulate them. This is where financial literacy is crucial: enabling us to see the context behind every success story. Not all opportunities are suitable for everyone, and what seems profitable to others may not be safe for our financial well-being.
Building financial mastery isn't something that happens overnight. It takes discipline, time, and patience to understand how money works. Start by identifying your personal financial goals, tracking your expenses, learning about various financial instruments, and controlling your emotions when making decisions. This way, you can shift from a "fear of missing out" mindset to a "know what you're doing" mindset—a major step toward true financial freedom.
