About the Book
Do you ever feel a knot of anxiety in your stomach when you think about money? That nagging uncertainty about where it all goes, or whether there will be enough for the future? You're not alone. For countless people, personal finance feels less like a tool for building a better life and more like a source of constant stress and confusion. It's easy to feel adrift in a financial fog, reacting to bills and expenses rather than actively steering towards your goals. But what if you could replace that anxiety with clarity, that uncertainty with confidence, and that feeling of being controlled by money with a profound sense of empowerment?
