Hey, Childfree Wealth® listeners! We're back with this month's book club, diving into "Happy Money: The Science of Happier Spending" by Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton. If you enjoyed "Die with Zero," you're in for a treat with this one too.

Join us as Bree and I discuss our thoughts on the book. Bree found it enjoyable but wished for more scientific depth. Despite its brevity—it's less than a 4-hour audiobook—it serves as a great high-level overview of happier spending.

We explore the five main principles from the book, sharing personal stories about vacations and the joy of planning versus the actual experience. Whether you're someone who meticulously plans trips or prefers to wing it, there's something for everyone.

We also delve into the balance between spending on material goods versus experiences and how that impacts happiness. Bree and I share our takes on this, discussing everything from buying cars to planning large gatherings.

As a bonus, we offer some summer reading recommendations. Bree suggests murder mysteries, while I'm currently into post-apocalyptic zombie tales.

Finally, a quick update on our podcast schedule and a shameless plug for my upcoming book tour. If you're interested in childfree life and money, stay tuned for more exciting content in the fall!

Don't miss this episode packed with practical tips.
