Money, Freedom, and Legacy: Lessons I’m Learning from The Psychology of Money
While I wasn’t naïve about money in my earlier years, I realize now that I missed structured financial literacy along the way. I relied on instinct, on lessons picked up from my parents, on trial and error. I wish I had read Morgan Housel’s The Psychology of Money, Darren Hardy’s The Compound Effect, or Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad earlier. Their insights would have saved me both mistakes and missed opportunities—and would also have equipped me to mentor my children far better in financial literacy.
