A hope-filled money guide to increase savings, earnings, and giving and actually enjoy it all while designing a life of freedom and eternal impact, from the founder of SeedTime Money. Broken down and stranded 1,000 miles from home with only $7 left in his bank account, Bob Lotich had reached his breaking point. He was stuck in a dead-end job, living paycheck-to-paycheck, and overwhelmed by debt. Bob had been following the world's advice with money and this was the fruit of it. In desperation, he cried out to God for wisdom, for a different way. The answer was a simple four-part formula, one based on timeless biblical principles, and, most important, it worked. After applying this simple formula, Bob discovered that his financial stress melted away and he finally felt fully in control of his money. As he continued to follow the four steps, he paid off over $400,000 in debt, reached a personal goal of giving $1 million by age 40, and achieved a level of financial freedom he never dreamed possible. In his casual and approachable style, Bob (along with his fun-loving wife, Linda) shares everything he learned about achieving true financial freedom, including: • How to create a money system so you can spend less time and get better results • The One-Category Budget: get 80% of the results with 20% of the work • The four keys to earning more in the digital era • How to automate your way to financial success in less than 10 minutes • The secrets of a six-figure giver • Three credit card rules that banks don’t want you to know • How to save $100s each month while still buying what you love • And much more! Whether you are doing “fine” or are in a financial crisis, the included 21-day kick-start will leave you with specific action items to guide you to success.

The co-host of the popular NPR podcast Planet Money provides a well-researched, entertaining, somewhat irreverent look at how money is a made-up thing that has evolved over time to suit humanity's changing needs. Money only works because we all agree to believe in it. In Money, Jacob Goldstein shows how money is a useful fiction that has shaped societies for thousands of years, from the rise of coins in ancient Greece to the first stock market in Amsterdam to the emergence of shadow banking in the 21st century. At the heart of the story are the fringe thinkers and world leaders who reimagined money. Kublai Khan, the Mongol emperor, created paper money backed by nothing, centuries before it appeared in the west. John Law, a professional gambler and convicted murderer, brought modern money to France (and destroyed the country's economy). The cypherpunks, a group of radical libertarian computer programmers, paved the way for bitcoin. One thing they all realized: what counts as money (and what doesn't) is the result of choices we make, and those choices have a profound effect on who gets more stuff and who gets less, who gets to take risks when times are good, and who gets screwed when things go bad. Lively, accessible, and full of interesting details (like the 43-pound copper coins that 17th-century Swedes carried strapped to their backs), Money is the story of the choices that gave us money as we know it today.

This is a book about the energy of money. It shows you what money really is, how it works in the intangible but very real world of energy and how to have a relationship with it that enables you to thrive and experience a truly rich life.

Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

Maggie Mueller lives a comfortable life in a beautiful Boston suburb. She has never worried about money, until the day her husband disappears and her pleasantly ordinary life takes a sudden and unusual turn. In a matter of hours, the FBI crashes in, foreclosure threatens, and she faces destitution. Maggie, confronted with these crises, refuses to give in. Starting at the beginning, she sets out to learn everything about money; first how to get it, then how to manage it, and finally how to invest it. In the tumultuous year that follows, Maggie remakes herself and her life. She learns that money matters, just not in the same way as she had previously thought. Money Matters is an exciting story that is designed to cover one personal finance concept per chapter. The author uses masterful story telling to share important financial lessons on a wide range of concepts including credit, taxes, retirement plans, and investing basics. The novel dramatizes the consequences of financial illiteracy, and then gently introduces readers to the basic money management skills, using romance and melodrama to enliven material that too often is made overly complex and ambiguous. In clear and easy to understand language, the reader can learn everything from how to raise cash in a pinch to how to trade options on the NYSE. As Maggie learns, finances should not control your life, you should control your finances. Readers will come away with an understanding of financial literacy basics and an ability to comfortably talk about money with everyone from life partners to financial advisors.
