The pressures facing a Chinese man are not, at their core, merely about how to make money. Government debt resolution concerns you—it affects employment, income, and asset prices; women concern you—they affect marriage, family, and life choices; your parents concern you—they affect your eldercare responsibilities, cash flow, and freedom; entrepreneurship concerns you—it determines whether you can move from selling your time to creating assets; entering the market to invest concerns you too—it determines whether you can preserve and grow your wealth. What kind of life you ultimately lead essentially depends on how you handle policy, family, relationships, entrepreneurship, and assets—and all of these will eventually be recorded on your personal balance sheet.

That last sentence about putting it on the balance sheet hits too close to home—the liabilities side for most people is made up entirely of debts owed to friends and family.

Well put—the concept of a personal balance sheet is quite interesting. I’ve never thought about it so systematically before.

Got it—working for someone means selling your time, while entrepreneurship means buying assets, but the barriers to entry are vastly different.

The pressure of supporting my parents in retirement is too great; if my cash flow dries up, everything collapses.

Policy, family, relationships, entrepreneurship, and assets—these five dimensions truly encompass all the anxieties of ordinary people.
