Summary of Kumiko Love's My Money My Way - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Some couples fight about money, but my ex-husband and I didn't talk about it at all. We were completely clueless about our finances, and we had no clear purpose or bigger ambitions. We were constantly struggling to manage our money. #2 When I was divorced, I felt heart-clenching failure. I had stripped away everything my son had known: a backyard, his own bedroom, his toys, and the swing set.
I was in a constant panic about how my son was handling the new changes. #3 Budgeting isn't about money. It's about you. It's about figuring out what you want from your money, and then using it to pursue those goals. #4 Budgeting forces you to think about your finances in a different way because it requires you to decide what you want to accomplish with your money beyond simply paying the bills.
You must define what success feels and looks like in your own life, and address the underlying issues that are causing your out-of-control spending.
