Misconceptions & Reasoning
📋 What it is
Many "obvious" money ideas are wrong — that price = value, that saving is pointless, that trade has a loser; check the logic.
🗣️ Coach says
Lots of "everyone knows" money ideas don’t hold up. A high price doesn’t always mean high value; trade usually helps BOTH sides; small savings really do add up. Beat an economics myth the same way — follow the logic, not the gut feeling.
🧠 Memory hook
"Feels true ≠ is true." Follow the economic logic, not the gut.

Why did the virtual merchant go bankrupt?

😲 Whoa!
Trade isn’t "one winner, one loser" — when two people trade freely, both expect to gain, or they wouldn’t agree to it.
✅ Quick check: Why is "in every trade there’s a winner and a loser" usually WRONG?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
People only trade freely when BOTH expect to gain — each values what they get more than what they give up, so both win.
Correcting the win–lose myth is a key piece of clear economic reasoning.
