Money • Behavior • Principles
Some questions are worth asking before they become expensive.
Restie Chavez writes about money, behavior, principles, and the things people sometimes don't notice until they're already paying for them.
The First Book I Wrote
It didn't start as a book.
It started with questions.
Questions about money.
About why people work so hard for it, yet sometimes lose it without realizing what's happening.
About the decisions people make before the money disappears.
The Observation
He started noticing something.
The more Restie observed people, businesses, buyers, sellers—and his own decisions—the more he noticed that losing money isn't always obvious.
Sometimes it looks like a normal decision.
Sometimes it looks like an opportunity.
Sometimes it even feels like the right thing to do.
The Question
“What am I not seeing?”
Instead of only asking how to make more money, Restie became increasingly interested in another question:
What causes us to lose it?
That Became A Book
And he called it "Money Lost!"
Money Lost! isn't a book promising to make you rich.
It isn't a formula for getting everything right.
And it doesn't promise that you'll never make another mistake.
It's an attempt to put into words what Restie has been observing—and the ideas he believes are worth examining before another mistake becomes expensive.
Restie's Approach
Maybe he's right. Maybe not.
Restie isn't asking anyone to simply trust him.
He only wants to share the people, books, and experiences that shaped how he thinks about money—and the ideas he believes are worth trying.
Before The Book
Some of the thinking happened long before there was a finished book.
Real work. Real questions. Real years of trying to figure things out.
Maybe You're Looking For Something Too
Maybe you're trying to understand what's happening with your money.
Maybe you've made a decision you're still thinking about.
Maybe you've noticed something doesn't quite add up.
Maybe nothing is wrong at all.
Or maybe there's something you haven't seen yet.
That's what Money Lost! was created for.
