About this ebook

When it comes to money, it pays to know yourself.

This is NOT just another money book. Personal finance expert Rachel Cruze brings an all-new approach to the traditional money rules, and it all starts with your mindset.

Go beyond the Ramsey Baby Steps and get to the root of all of your decisions—your mind, your behaviors, and your beliefs— so you can change your money mindset for good.

You may already know how to make the right money decisions, BUT you probably still find yourself slipping into impulse purchases, dipping into savings, disagreeing on your budget with your spouse, and wondering “Why did I do that?!” If so, this book is for YOU. Rachel Cruze explains the psychology, strengths, and challenges that come with each of her brand-new Seven Money Tendencies:

Saver or Spender

Nerd or Free Spirit

Experiences or Things

Quality or Quantity

Safety or Status

Abundance or Scarcity

Planned Giving or Spontaneous Giving 

Along with discovering where you land on the scale of Seven Money Tendencies, this book also introduces new ways to understand how your parents, your fears, and your beliefs impact your money mindset.

You’ll learn:

Which of the Four Childhood Money Classrooms shaped your personality

How the Six Core Money Fears can drive your most common money mistakes

Why you handle money the way you do, and what to do about it

You DON’T have to white-knuckle your way toward financial freedom. This book will show you how to make taking control of your money so much easier (and fun).
