Find out in this sensible, fun guide to managing your money. Do some peope have more money than you because of an inheritance, of earning megabucks or from being parsimonious and darning their own socks? Do some people have an innate ability, or is it a matter of attitude and calculation? Money is an emotional currency that relates to our personal need for security, respect, love, power and self-determination. If you don’t understand your own motivations then the investment world is not the place to learn. The conflict between making a profit, and the fear of loss makes investing a dangerous game for many people. It’s important that you understand your own relationship to money – in other words, you need to understand your financial behaviour. The lessons from research are clear, to change your financial behavior you must learn new skills focusing on imperatives such as motivation, knowledge and understanding, wisdom and discipline. The focus in this book is not about how to pick the right shares, or how to get rich in the property market, nor how to get rich quick – it's on looking at yourself. What stops you taking steps to find financial freedom? Why do your emotions govern your financial decisions? Money, Money, Money encourages the reader to identify the forces that may be inhibiting their success, and leads them towards handling their finances with a greater level of ease and awareness.
