Lately, I’ve been thinking about the way we spend money. Not from a “budget” lens, but from what Morgan Housel calls *the psychology of money*. You and I don’t actually want more things… we want the feeling those things promise: Ease. Admiration. Feeling seen. Confidence. Belonging. The book *The Art of Spending Money* had this line that stuck with me: “You think you’re buying stuff. But you’re really buying how you hope it will make you feel.” And that is a good perspective to look at:. Think about Emotional RO after your purchase of things and experiences. Tell me: How do you spend for your *emotional return*?
