Don't let the title of this book, Money, a Love Story, fool you. This book actually has nothing to do with loving money, but instead, is about how loving ourselves has a direct effect on our financial situations. It's something I personally never thought about, but it makes total sense. Our self worth is reflected in our jobs, salaries, debts and bank accounts, to name a few. Are you in a job that you love or just that's "good enough"? Are you earning top dollar or just what you think you're worth? We are financially where we are in large part because of how we value (or don't value) ourselves.
Kate Northrup does an excellent job of explaining how to identify what your relationship with money has been and how to change it for the better. She does this with wit and charm and her own real life examples of been there, done that. She has a down-to-earth and upbeat writing style and never makes you feel like she's judging.
She takes you through some fun and, at times, pretty eye-opening exercises which, for some of us, could be a bit painful - ouch! But as they say - no pain, no gain - and you will absolutely gain a clearer understanding as to why your financial picture is where it's at and also get the tools you need to make it better no matter what your situation is. It's an awesome book that's chock full of great financial insight and advice and leaves you feeling encouraged and excited about your financial future!
