Discover how mindset shapes our relationship with wealth and happiness. Learn the key concepts that will transform the way you think about spending:

• Spending is a psychological journey, not just a numbers game—it's about envy, social aspirations, identity, and insecurity

• Money serves two purposes: as a tool to live a better life, or as a yardstick to measure your status against others

• Spend for utility and meaning, not for status—real value comes from comfort, time, and relationships

• Independence is the ultimate form of wealth—every dollar saved is freedom purchased

• The 'Deserted Island Test': Would you want this if no one could see it?

• Minimize future regret by aligning spending with personal values

• The greatest luxury isn't material—it's calmness and financial peace

• Learn how generosity multiplies wealth in ways that numbers can't capture

• True wealth lies not in net worth, but in the alignment of money with your life goals
