The whole purpose of money is as a tool to give you a better life. That's always been my mantra.

And if there's one area of my life that I've wanted to improve, it is my sleep. I have always been a

terrible sleeper, and it's had such a big impact on my health and occasionally my mood.

I recently started using eight sleep, and it has been wonderful. Truly one of the best investments

I've made in a while. Eight sleep is a mattress cover that heats and cools underneath you while you sleep, analyzing your sleep patterns to

find the right temperature and automatically adjusting throughout the night. It also gives you

tons of data the next morning showing your sleep patterns, where you can improve, and how much rest

you actually received. I love it. If you want to check out more and get up to $350 off, go to 8Sleep.com

And for me, it's not that at all.

I know exactly which one of these chapters is my favorite for me, it's not that at all. I know exactly which

one of these chapters is my favorite because it had the biggest impact on me personally.

Like, which one of these topics in my own personal life when I'm managing money within my

family was the most influential to me? And to me, it is the idea that we should not aim to be rational with our money.

We should just aim to be merely reasonable.

I'll tell you in a second where I first found this idea and why it was important to me.

But I think at a high view, let me explain this idea.

We are not machines.

We are emotional, screwed up, biased, hormonal humans.
