The Psychology of Money

by Morgan Housel

Three key ideas

  1. Money choices come from experience and circumstances, not just formulas.
  2. Spending shows what was spent, not what a person still has.
  3. Define enough for yourself so comparison does not keep moving the target.

The five 2-minute lessons

  1. 1.Money has a personal context
  2. 2.Visible richness, hidden wealth
  3. 3.Time helps only if you survive
  4. 4.Leave room for error
  5. 5.A plan you can actually live with

From the comic

I wanted their wheelbarrow. I have no wheelbarrow duties.
