The Psychology of Money

Date: 2023-12-20

Book Author: Morgan Housel

(Revisited and re-read) Yes, I’ve reviewed this before. But reading it again —post a few hard weeks — it hit very differently. This time, the chapter on “Reasonable > Rational” landed harder. So did the idea that wealth is what you don’t see — and that being rich isn’t about income. It’s about restraint.

💡 Fresh Notes: • Wealth feels emotional — not just numerical. • You don’t need to optimize everything. Just avoid ruin. • Saving is the gap between ego and income.

📈 Verdict(Second Read): Even better the second time. Timeless, gentle, and makes you feel like money doesn’t need to be complicated — it needs to be understood.
