Hi! I'm Kevin Robinson. An expat living in Jakarta.

In my early teen years, I found myself [me] losing 150k euro in a week as I took a gamble on the stock exchange. My net worth halved in a matter of a week. That seriously hurt me - emotionally and mentally.

Most of you have likely experienced that feeling when hitting your teen years and you discover your welfare has been cut in half. This is when you hit that breakout. 

What did I learn from this experience? First of all, you can do amazing things when you are financially responsible. This is not essential in the beginning of investing and long term saving. You may have no idea what financial discipline is, but in the long term it will increase your socioeconomic success. So yeah, a feeling of peace and calm is most important. 

Secondly, I have learned accountability. This is not just a monetary concept, but a human one. It is important to learn that if you follow good financial habits then you can be counted on to do the things that make you happy. If you didn't do the right things you would be making big mistakes, and you have to own up to them. The more you are accountable to yourself, the better you are prepared to confront financial failure so that you can find success in the future.
