Warren Buffett's Rule #1 — And What It Means for You

💡 Warren Buffett has one rule that changed how I think about everything. "Never lose money." That's it. Sounds simple. Most people laugh. But here's what he actually means: It's not that losses never happen. It's that your FIRST question before any investment should be: "How do I protect my downside?" Not "How much can I make?" but "How much can I lose — and can I live with that?" This one mental shift changes everything: ✅ You stop chasing hot tips ✅ You stop being swayed by fear of missing out ✅ You start asking harder questions before committing In real estate, this is why I always ask clients: "If this property sat empty for 6 months, would you be okay?" If the answer is no — we need to rethink the plan. In private markets, it's why I always say: understand the asset, the structure, and the exit before anything else. Wealth isn't built by the biggest swings. It's built by not striking out. This is my personal opinion — not financial advice. What's your Rule mo. 1 when it comes to investing?
