About this episode

Morgan Housel discusses the impact of spending habits on budgeting in his new book.

Author Morgan Housel’s new book, The Art of Spending Money, argues that the way we spend money matters just as much as how we earn or invest it. And for many of us, the biggest culprit that's killing our budget doesn't even show up in a spreadsheet. Book link: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Spending-Money-Simple-Choices/dp/0593716620
