Morgan Housel breaks down the exact framework he uses to build wealth, minimize financial stress, and buy freedom.

While most financial advice focuses on how to get rich, Morgan explains why the skills needed to stay rich are completely different.

You will learn why "boring" investing beats complex strategies, how to avoid the social traps that destroy wealth, and the specific equation for finding contentment.

Morgan Housel is a partner at Collaborative Fund and the bestselling author of The Psychology of Money.

Enjoy!
