I'm thinking of starting with this book. Thoughts? 

Listen to The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel on Audible. <https://www.audible.com/pd/B08D9TXF3H?source_code=ORGOR69210072400FU|https://www.audible.com/pd/B08D9TXF3H?source_code=ORGOR69210072400FU>

We need a book on not falling for subscriptions like audible lol

Seriously though if someone doesn’t want to pay check out your local library, they might even have it as a pdf or epub so you don’t even have to go down

the book is 20 bucks, audible is 150 and lets me listen to 12 books a year

I also pay for audible, I will gladly pay double to fall asleep every night pretending I am getting smarter if there is some background noise of an audiobook while I doom scroll reddit

But that’s regarding audiobooks in general not audible, it never clicked for me which is a shame because it’s an excellent method of learning

i also pay for blinkist, 10 minute audiobook summaries of non fiction

I really liked Psychology of Money, definitely worth reading. Also if people aren't used to using the library and want audio/ebooks, check to see if you have access to services like libby or hoopla through your library. Psychology of Money is a popular book so it might not be available right now but for the most part you can access the same books completely free. I was able to get the ebook just now without even needing to put it on hold. Don't need it though; after I got it from the library the first time I enjoyed the book enough that I bought it:)

Big fan of the book and Morgan Housel’s podcast is excellent as well.

Side note I dislike Audible’s model (not just them, the whole DRM thing), I don’t want to pay for a book and just hope they or the publisher don’t decide to yank it. Physical copies all day every day.

Its also on Spotify for free - <https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1nVE8z5tV9nEHG8B0wAXOs?si=53zQKTaIRZ6JlORm0FYCog&amp;pi=6f9woTCGRF6Lb|https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1nVE8z5tV9nEHG8B0wAXOs?si=53zQKTaIRZ6JlORm0FYCog&amp;pi=6f9woTCGRF6Lb>

I just want to make sure everyone is clear that they shouldn't download the ebook for free from <https://dokumen.pub/qdownload/the-psychology-of-money.html|here>. That wouldn't be ethical.

Worth noting that Housel came out with a <https://open.spotify.com/episode/6Zzm8wKyukOiJDpkYWt9vK?si=299652a9af86422d|new podcast episode> today where he shares he’s got another book coming out in October. Could be good to keep in mind for the future

Someone once mentioned a book called "buy your butter bake your bread" or something like that

not sure it seems to be a cross between recipes and frugality tips
