Financially Capable: A Friendly Guide to Building Whole-Health Wealth

Money problems are rarely just about money.
Financial stress can affect your relationships, your health, your confidence, your choices, and even your ability to imagine a better future. And while most personal finance books tell you what you should do with your money, knowing what to do is only part of the answer.

Financially Capable: A Friendly Guide to Building Whole-Health Wealth helps you understand not only how to manage your money, but why you make the financial decisions you do and how to create lasting change.
Financial educator Matt Paradise combines over two decades of experience helping people improve their financial lives with practical strategies, behavioral insights, and an approach grounded in one simple belief: real wealth is about more than the balance in your bank account.
Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Understand how your values, mindset, and behaviors influence your financial decisions
• Create a realistic spending plan you can actually live with
• Reduce debt and build stronger credit
• Save for emergencies, goals, and your future
• Choose financial products and services with greater confidence
• Protect yourself from scams, fraud, predatory lending, and identity theft
• Reduce financial stress while building greater stability across your life

Whether you're living paycheck to paycheck, recovering from financial mistakes, trying to get out of debt, or simply wondering what your next financial step should be, you don't need to have everything figured out before you begin.

You don't have to become a financial expert. You can become financially capable.

Start building a healthier relationship with money and a richer life on your own terms.
