The Art of Spending Money: How to Get Rich and STAY Rich | Morgan Housel


Listen Later

How do you spend money in ways that actually make life better?

Morgan Housel, author of the new book The Art of Spending Money, explores status vs. satisfaction, the hedonic treadmill, and why money’s best use is buying independence.

We also cover quiet compounding, a practical 15-stage path to financial freedom, when to spend vs. save, helping kids without spoiling them, and small experiments that raise the utility of every dollar.
