Three tips from Morgan Housel
Morgan Housel ’08, best-selling author of “The Psychology of Money,” gave the keynote speech at the Financial Literacy Festival, held on McCarthy Quad Tuesday, April 5, 2022. In his writing, Housel examines how people think about their money through the lens of psychology, sociology, political science, and history.
“It’s not where the stock market is going next, and it’s not even about how to invest your money,” he said. “It’s about how people think about greed and fear and risk and opportunity, how you can use money to be happier in life, what do you think about your social aspiration, all those kinds of topics interest me.”
His book has sold more than one million copies. And over the course of his nearly 15-year career, he’s made some strong observations. Key among them: Whether you’re interested in money or not, money will impact your life. So it’s a good idea to have some education on the topic.
Here are his top three tips for soon-to-be-graduates:
