From the Inside Flap
--------------------
Does money represent luxury, security, and peace of mind, or
stress, inequality, barriers, and greed? LOADED is written for
anyone who struggles with their complex relationship with the
so-called "root of all evil."
Rather than offering traditional financial advice, Sarah Newcomb
(a Morningstar behavioral economist) digs deeper and approaches
money management from a fresh angle. LOADED explains how our
experiences with money have a psychological basis and can often
run counter to our core values.
Our personal history has a profound influence on how we handle or
mishandle money. In reality, however, money is a simple tool, a
neutral resource that is full of possibilities. It can be used
for good or for ill, and how we use it is entirely a matter of
personal choice. Our relationship with money is almost never
about the numbers. It is about the stories we tell ourselves
because of those numbers. We all come to believe certain stories
based on our upbringing and our experiences with money. This is
where our relationship with money is rooted, and this is where
sound money management begins.
Based on years of research and filled with illustrative stories,
LOADED offers an important guide for identifying the harmful core
beliefs about money and what can be done to challenge and
overcome those negative beliefs. Once a clear understanding of an
individual's beliefs about money is established, the
human-centered approach to budgeting and money management can be
put into action. This budgeting structure incorporates several
principles from psychology that are missing or misaligned in
traditional budgeting methods.
The fresh approach outlined in this book is a money management
method rooted in psychology that offers a way of changing one's
financial life by creating a plan for money that is both deeply
satisfying and also sustainable over the long term. The author
also includes a wealth of worksheets and personal money
psychology assessments to aid in the LOADED process.
LOADED offers an approach for discovering and understanding your
relationship with money that will lead to more peace and
satisfaction in your financial life.
