Harvey MacKay on Cost of Experience

Funny Money Quotes: Exchanging cash for experience and experience with cash is common in business. Harvey MacKay said:
 

 

“When a person with money meets a person with experience, the person with the experience winds up with the money and the person with the money winds up with the experience” — Harvey MacKay

 

 

This quote suggests that experienced people are often able to get the better of those who are wealthy but lack experience or wisdom. The person with money may think their assets give them power, but the experienced individual knows how to strategically gain the upper hand through their knowledge and savvy.

By the end of the interaction or business deal, the person who started with money walks away having learned some lessons, while the experienced person has profited financially.

So in summary, the quote implies that in many situations, street smarts and a depth of experience can outweigh the advantage of simply having a lot of money, at least in the short term. Experience is a type of wealth that should not be underestimated.
