The speaker advises that understanding your personal history and why you make money decisions—rooted in upbringing, past experiences, luck or generational timing—helps you step back and choose better. Knowing that each money decision has a reason (not 'crazy') enables more deliberate, improved financial choices.
So if you just know that about yourself, you'll be able to make better decisions. Like just knowing, literally that one thing. Knowing that every decision that you have made about money, there's a really good reason for it. And it's not because you're crazy. It's because of a past experience or how you were brought up or the year you were born. You know, luck, if you just know that about yourself. And then when you are faced with a decision about money, if you can think about why you're making it and step back, you'll be able to make a better decision.
