Episode 3298:
Nick Maggiulli highlights how the dating market, unlike traditional money-based exchanges, is one of the most influential forces shaping our long-term happiness. He argues that choosing the right partner is the most important decision of our lives, far outweighing financial costs, and urges us to invest time and effort into relationships with the seriousness they deserve.

Quotes to ponder:
"These kinds of markets are called matching markets and they will have a bigger impact on your long-term happiness than any traditional market ever will."
"So how can you complain that 'dating is expensive' or 'time-consuming' when it’s literally one of the best trades you can make in your life?"
"Some of the best investments in life don’t have a ticker symbol. They can’t be found in the Wall Street Journal. They aren’t something that can be bought or sold."
