The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel
Money talks — but what is it really saying to you?
That’s the powerful question at the heart of Morgan Housel’s The Psychology of Money, a book that doesn’t throw spreadsheets or stock tips at you — instead, it explores the emotions, stories, and deeply human quirks that shape the way we relate to money.
And let me tell you — for us as Entertainers, artists, and creatives? This book hits different. 🎭✨
Why This Book Matters to Creatives
As artists, we don’t always follow the “traditional” financial path.
We might have feast-and-famine income.
We invest in dreams before they pay.
We take risks others wouldn’t.
The Psychology of Money doesn’t judge — it understands.
It tells you: It’s not just about what you know. It’s about how you behave.
Morgan Housel breaks down timeless lessons like:
- Why being reasonable beats being rational
- Why wealth is what you don’t see (aka: what you don’t spend)
- Why your personal history shapes your view of money more than any financial expert ever will
My Favorite Takeaways 🎬💸
- You don’t need to be brilliant to build wealth. You need to have the right habits.
Success with money has more to do with behavior than knowledge. - Save like a pessimist. Invest like an optimist.
This one stopped me in my tracks. It’s okay to prepare for tough times while still believing in your big creative future. - Freedom is the highest dividend money pays.
YES. This is everything. More than stuff or status — money gives you time, choice, and peace. And for creatives, that’s pure gold.
How to Use This Wisdom in Your Entertainer’s Life 🎤🎨
✅ Build a Quiet Season Fund — not because you’re afraid, but because you’re committed.
✅ Don’t compare your path to others. Your journey is yours alone.
✅ Ask: How can I use money to support my creativity, not stress it?
Final Word
If you’ve ever felt like money was confusing, frustrating, or intimidating — this book is a loving, practical reset.
It’s not about becoming a millionaire (though that’s cool too).
It’s about becoming aware, intentional, and empowered.
This is the kind of book I wish every entertainer, artist, and dreamer would read at the start of their journey — or right now, wherever you are.
