Description

An illustrated, practical guide to navigating your financial life, no matter your financial situation "a potent mix of deeply practical and wonderfully empathetic" —Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial "one of the most approachable financial books I've ever read." —Refinery 29 We are all weird about money. Whether you have a lot or a little, your feelings and beliefs about money have been shaped by a combination of silence (or even shame) around talking about money, personal experiences, family and societal expectations, and a whole big complex system rigged against many of us from the start. Begin with that baseline premise and it’s no surprise so many of us find it so difficult to save enough money (but way too easy to get trapped in ballooning credit card debt), emotionally draining to deal with student loans, and nearly impossible to understand the esoteric world of investing. Unlike most personal finance books that focus on skills and behaviors, FINANCE FOR THE PEOPLE asks you to examine your beliefs and experiences around money—blending extremely practical exercises with mindfulness, and including more than 50 illustrations and diagrams to make the concepts accessible (and even fun). With deep insider expertise from years spent in many different corners of the financial industry, Paco de Leon is a friendly, approachable, and wise guide who invites readers to change their relationship with money. With her holistic approach you’ll learn how to: • root out your unconscious beliefs about money • untangle the mental and emotional burden of student loans to pay them off • use a gratitude practice to help you think differently about spending • break out of the debt cycle and begin building wealth This book is for anyone who feels unseen, ignored, or bored to death by the way personal finances are approached and taught, and is ready to go on a journey of self-discovery and step into their financial power.

  • Useful at any age or stage in your $ journey
So easy to understand, and made me lol on at least a dozen occasions. I wish I had this book twenty years ago. Paco gave me reassurance about things I was doing right, guidance on how to do better in several areas, and introduced several things I never knew or had previously misunderstood. All of that delivered with an honesty and authenticity that was heartfelt and refreshing. Thank you, Paco! ... show more

  • Practical advise for the everyday person
I found this book to be very helpful as an intro to personal finance. It has certainly caused me to want to take a critical look at how I structure my finances and how I should protect them. I will put Paco's recommendations into practice and hope to report success shortly.

  • Witty and Practical
A wonderful introduction to all things money. Covering all the basics, in a humorous way that makes it an enjoyable read. Such relatable analogies and the illustrations are all meme worthy, full of exactly what you need to know, with a touch of humor.

  • Good experience.
The quality was the same, but the cost was less than if I had bought the 2 books from a well known book seller.

  • Paco Keeps It Real
This was a very inspiring book that really helped me start to take a look at my finances and start to turn things around. I appreciate her realness and her insights as especially coming from the voice of a BIPOC Queer woman, it was refreshing!

  • Easy to read
No complicated words, in fact, there are some curse words which made it more modern and relatable. Easy to understand advice and super realistic.
