Sanni Kruger was once so short of money that all she could afford
to eat was baked beans and potatoes. Now an accountant, she has
published a book designed to help people who don't have enough cash
- or simply think they don't - to live more fulfilled lives by
changing their attitude to money. Sanni learned about money
management as a young girl by helping out at her father's
accountancy practice in her home city of Hamburg, Germany. Now
living and working in Bristol, she owns and runs Holistic Money
Manager, a financial coaching service for people who need help
managing their money. She wrote Making Friends With Money,
subtitled How to start feeling wealthy without waiting till you're
rich, after realising how many people allow money problems to
dominate their lives. Her work has taught her that there is very
little correlation between how much people have and how happy they
are. "It's all about your relationship with the money in your life"
she says. "My book invites you to define your real goals and then
shows you how to make your money help you to achieve them, however
much or little you have. "There is plenty of help and advice
available for those who have lots of money and for those who are
genuinely poor. But there is very little for the many who are
somewhere in between." The book's first lesson is how to get out of
debt - and stay out of it. "So many of us allow debt to get out of
control by trying to pretend it will go away" says Sanni. "It
becomes the ogre under the bed, the nagging voice that wakes us in
the middle of the night. "It's far better to take control. With
proper planning you can work out a budget that enables you to keep
your creditors off your back while leaving enough for the quality
of life you want. Once you are out of debt, you will find that
money comes to you in ways you hadn't imagined."
Practical lessons you can put to use immediately Rather than pore
through pages and pages of content trying to find what works for
you, Six-Word Lessons to Look Your Best gives you 100 tips to keep
you always looking your best. Each lesson is short and simple, with
a practical explanation that gives you everything you need to know
to flatter and enhance your own unique beauty--from head to toe.
