543b The Psychology of Money (book review)
Glen and friend of the show, Azaria Bell chat about their top takeaways after reading the book, The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel:
๐๐พ the highest form of wealth is having control of your time
๐๐ฟ manage your money in a way that helps you sleep at night
๐๐ป your experiences and age-bias shapes your perspective
๐ be kinder and less flashy
๐๐ผ increase your savings by lowering your ego
๐๐ฝ worship room for error
๐๐ฟ aim for reasonable rather than rational decisions
๐๐ป you donโt need a reason to save
๐๐พ don't assume that you and your beliefs won't change in the future
๐ define the game youโre playing and run your own race
