Jade has done a fantastic job of explaining in plain words how our mindset and attitude towards money can have a significant impact on our financial well-being.
The book is more of an intro of various aspects of budgeting, from setting financial goals to creating a budget plan and sticking to it. However, what sets it apart is the author's focus on the psychological barriers that prevent us from achieving our financial goals. She talks about the fear of scarcity, the reluctance to let go of our money, and the emotional attachment we have to our possessions, all of which can hold us back from making smart financial decisions, in a way that is relatable, as if having a conversation with a friend. While it does not introduce any new or challenging concepts, it is an encouraging quick read if you are at the beginning of your journey.
One of the things I appreciated most about the book was her emphasis on self-awareness. She encourages readers to identify their money beliefs and understand how they affect their financial behavior. By doing so, we can break free from negative patterns and develop a healthy relationship with money.
The audiobook is very enjoyable as Jade's personality shines through.
