The Psychology of Money

“The Psychology of Money” delves into the intricate relationship between individuals and their financial decisions, emphasizing that managing money is more about behavior than technical know-how. Housel presents 19 short stories illustrating how personal biases, emotions, and unique experiences influence our financial choices, underscoring the importance of humility and patience in wealth accumulation.​

After reading this book, I decided to implement one of its core principles: the power of small, consistent actions. I began collecting all my loose change and small cash, placing them in an envelope in my desk drawer. Over six months, this simple habit accumulated to £650. This exercise not only highlighted the often-overlooked potential of minor sums but also reinforced the book’s message that financial success is deeply rooted in behavior and consistency rather than merely chasing high returns.
