Five Steps to Financial Wellbeing is a simple and hopeful book, for anyone to find the balance between life and money, while refusing the consumerist lifestyle. This book walks you through five simple steps to change your relationship with money for good, in order to make life better. Money is not the most important thing on earth, but having financial stability can enable you to live your life in line with your values, rather than living in order to work in order to stay above water financially. See our money tag for more info on claiming benefits you are entitled to, and ways to save money on everyday goods.
The book also digs deeper to address building self-worth without buying things, and establishing a healthy and positive relationship with money, like avoiding debt and investing for the future. In short, taking control of your finances, instead of letting your finances control you. The author herself got out of £27,000 of debt, using the advice she now gives you in 5 steps:
- Overcoming your financial baggage
- Separating net worth from self worth
- Creating money habits and rituals
- Learning to spend mindfully
- Planning and preparing for the future
It’s perfectly possible to live a happy life without abundant wealth. And to live a miserable life with millions in the bank. But it is difficult to live a happy life, if you are locked in a constant battle with your finances. Its effects can put a strain on relationships, affect our mental health and dictate the career and lifestyle choices that we make. I want to help fix your relationship with money. And once you do that, I think a lot of other things will change for you.
