If you haven’t read Morgan Housel’s books on money and finance – go get them right away. There is no wiser and more sensible thinker today on the question of how to earn, spend, save, and value money. Housel’s books are full of practical advice derived from scientific studies and real-world experience. His latest is The Art of Spending Money, and it’s a terrific read.

Because I admire him so much, I am thrilled by how he uses the research from the Legacy Project. In my book, 30 Lessons for Living, I share the finding that not a single one of the over 1200 elders I interviewed said their major regret was “I didn’t make more money.” They focused on people and experiences, and good they had done in the world, over aquiring things.

Here’s Morgan discussing that finding, and here’s a recent article in Forbes where he weaves it into his work.
