Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.

Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.

In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Remember: Margin of safety
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2024
Verified Purchase
Why the book was so easy and enjoyable to read? It has a lot of good examples, data and fun facts to get the point across to the readers. The chapter titles are attention grabbers to get our attention to read more. But the most important thing to learn from this book is "Margin of Safety".

According to the author, it is one of the most underappreciated forces in finance. It comes in many forms: a frugal budget, flexible thinking, and a loose time line - anything that lets you live happily with a range of outcomes. Controlling your time is the highest dividend money pays.

The book is pretty much evolved around the concept of "Margin of Safety." It encourages readers to save money and not spending money lavishly. The key is staying wealthy and not just getting wealthy. We can't be complacent and assume that yesterday's success translate into tomorrow's good fortune. Wealth is what you don't see. Spending money to show people how much money you have is the fastest way to have less money.

Good investing is not about getting the highest returns. It's about getting good returns that you can stick with and which can be repeated for the longest period of time. According to the author, the historial odds of making money in US markets are 50/50 over one-day periods, 68% in one-year periods, 88% in 10 -year periods and (sofar) 100% in 20-year periods.

Forecasting is hard. This is why invetsment guru Benjamin Graham is a strong advocate for margin of safety as the purpose of margin of safety is to render the forecast unnecessary. The author cited the success rate of venture financing from 20024 to 2014: 65% lost money, 2.5% of invetsments made 10X to 20X, 1% made more than 20X return, only 1/2% (~100 companies) earn 50X or more.

According to George Soros, it is not whether you are right or wrong that's important but how much money you made when you're right and how much you lose when you're wrong. You can be wrong half the time and still make a fortune.

The most interesting part of the book is the last chapter: Postcript. Thanks to the internet, the world is more connected than ever. What that means is the talent pool the readers compete with has gone from 100s or 1000s sprang their towns to millions or billions spanning the globe.

The author ended the book with a not so pessimistic note. The era of "this isn't working" may stick around. And the era of "We need something radically new, right now, whatever it is" may stick around.

Reviewed in Italy on March 28, 2024

Dalle recensioni non capivo se sarebbe stato un libro per me. Ho scoperto leggendolo che è uno dei libri che mi è piaciuto di più in ambito soldi e gestione degli stessi.
L’autore non si cimenta in guide step by step campate per aria. Piuttosto ragiona su vari argomenti e ne affronta quelli che possono essere i principi sottostanti.
Ho guadagnato molte riflessioni applicabili nella vita quotidiana e considerazioni che probabilmente faranno la differenza in scelte a breve e lungo periodo.
Bonus: libro scritto benissimo. Estremamente piacevole da leggere, senza perdite di tempo e con esempi concreti.
L’autore vuole chiaramente il bene del lettore e scrivere tutto il necessario in modo semplice, rapido e facilmente comprensibile.
