“Savings can be created by spending less. You can spend less if you desire less. And you will desire less if you care less about what others think of you.”
― Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money

“Be nicer and less flashy. No one is impressed with your possessions as much as you are. You might think you want a fancy car or a nice watch. But what you probably want is respect and admiration. And you’re more likely to gain those things through kindness and humility than horsepower and chrome.”
― Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money

“some lessons have to be experienced before they can be understood”
― Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money

“There is a paradox here: people tend to want wealth to signal to others that they should be liked and admired. But in reality those other people often bypass admiring you, not because they don’t think wealth is admirable, but because they use your wealth as a benchmark for their own desire to be liked and admired.”
