The art of spending money...simple choices for a richer life

From the best-selling author of “The Psychology of Money” and “As Always,” lessons in harnessing the power of money for a happier life. The Art of Spending Money | Most of us don't know how to spend money. We seek things that impress others but do not arouse any feeling in us. Or we save relentlessly, afraid to spend money on what would actually improve our lives. We confuse admiration with envy, comfort and extravagance, utility and status. The Art of Spending Money does not offer budgets, tricks, or ready-made solutions that suit everyone. Rather, it helps you understand how your relationship with money affects your decisions, and how to reshape it so that money works in your favor. Morgan Housel's work has helped millions rethink how they make, save, and invest money. Now he turns his attention to the other side of the equation: how to spend. In an insightful and passionate way, he shows why peace of mind is the most important return on investment, why expectations are more important than income, and why success in money management has less to do with spreadsheets and more with self-awareness. This book is not about getting rich. It's about making the most of what you already have — and learning to desire what's worth wanting.
