November: Her Wealthy Circle - Book Club 📚

Ready to take control of your financial future and dive deep into some of the minds of the financially independent? Then join us for our monthly book club, where we’ll unpack some ideas around mindset, financial education and wealth creation. **This month's book is:** The Psychology of Money: Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness **About the book** Morgan Housel’s *The Psychology of Money* explores how our emotions, experiences, and beliefs shape the way we think and act with money. It’s not a book about financial formulas — it’s about behaviour, mindset, and understanding what *enough* really means. Housel argues that financial success isn’t about how smart you are, but how well you manage your emotions, decisions, and patience. Two people can make completely different choices with money — and both can be “right” based on their personal experiences and goals. A few key ideas that stand out: * **Everyone’s money story is different.** How you were raised and what you’ve lived through shapes your financial habits more than logic does. * **Wealth is what you don’t see.** Fancy cars and big houses show spending, not savings. Real wealth is freedom, flexibility, and the ability to choose how you spend your time. * **Luck and risk are real.** Success and failure both involve circumstances outside your control — so stay humble and kind, both to yourself and others. * **Saving is powerful.** It’s not just about having money — it’s about having *options.* Saving gives you peace of mind and freedom. * **“Enough” is key.** The endless chase for more can rob you of happiness. Knowing your definition of “enough” brings contentment. * **Compounding and time matter most.** Small, consistent actions over time lead to huge results — in money and in life. Ultimately, the book reminds us that the *goal of money* isn’t to impress others, but to gain control over your time, reduce stress, and live life on your own terms.
