Episode 20: Reasonable, Not Perfect

📌 Episode Summary:

In Part 4 of our 5-part series The Psychology of Money for Teachers, we’re leaning into a truth that every overachieving teacher (🙋🏾‍♀️) needs to hear: 

You don’t have to be perfect with money. You just have to be reasonable — and consistent.

Drawing wisdom from Morgan Housel’s The Psychology of Money, Myndel explores why financial decisions aren’t always about what’s rational on paper — but about what makes sense for you.

From embracing long-term thinking, to understanding the role of luck and risk, to redefining what true wealth really means… this episode is about giving yourself permission to do money your way — with freedom and peace as your ultimate goals.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

• Why being reasonable is better than being “rational” with money
• How luck and risk influence outcomes more than we realize
• The quiet power of compounding consistency
• What it means to pursue freedom, not flashiness
• Why peace > perfection when it comes to your finances

📝 Teacher Takeaway Assignment:

Ask yourself:

• Am I chasing what’s rational — or what’s reasonable and sustainable for me?
• Am I giving myself grace on this money journey, or holding myself to an impossible standard?

Remember: Freedom is the real flex. Let’s build toward it — one smart, steady step at a time.
