Getting a grip on your finances

Finance for the People offers an illustrated, practical guide to navigating your financial life, no matter your financial situation. Whether you have a lot or a little money, your feelings and beliefs about money have been shaped by a combination of silence (or even shame) around talking about money, personal experiences, family and societal expectations, and a complex system. So it’s no surprise that many of us find it difficult and emotionally draining to deal with and save enough money.

This book asks you to examine your beliefs and experiences around money—blending extremely practical exercises with mindfulness, and including more than 50 illustrations and diagrams to make the concepts accessible. With deep insider expertise from years spent in many different corners of the financial industry, Paco de Leon is a friendly, approachable, and wise guide who invites readers to change their relationship with money. With her holistic approach you’ll learn how to:

• Root out your unconscious beliefs about money
• Untangle the mental and emotional burden of student loans to pay them off
• Use a gratitude practice to help you think differently about spending
• Break out of the debt cycle and begin building wealth

This book is for anyone who feels unseen, ignored, or bored to death by the way personal finances are approached and taught, and is ready to go on a journey of self-discovery and step into their financial power.
