The Money Habit
Mike Michalowicz · 2026
🎙 Narrated by Mike Michalowicz (self-narrated)
71/100
👍 Worth It
Mike Michalowicz applies his 'Profit First' small-plates thinking to personal money management, with six automated accounts designed to build wealth without willpower-heavy budgeting — simple and repeatable. It's largely a personal-finance remix of his existing framework rather than something wholly new, but his own narration keeps it lively and easy to follow.
