Mental Models for Money Mastery

Mental Models for Money Mastery breaks down the most practical lessons from The Psychology of Money into clear decision frameworks you can actually use. Instead of treating wealth like a spreadsheet problem, it explains how long-term financial success is driven by behavior under uncertainty: emotional regulation, risk tolerance, humility about luck, and systems built for survival. You’ll learn how to separate luck vs. skill, define “enough” to avoid lifestyle creep, prioritize not losing so compounding can work, set boundaries for “reasonable” risk, and escape sunk costs without guilt. The goal is financial durability: staying steady through market swings, stress, and comparison so your plan can work over time.
