Merryn Somerset Webb, star of Channel 4's hit series 'Superscrimpers', shows you how to face the future with both money and confidence in this financial bible for sassy women. Money may not buy you love but it certainly helps with life's other little luxuries. From shopping sprees to pension plans, ISAs to investments, money plays a crucial role in our present and future comfort. We may not like to admit it, but diamonds - or cold, hard cash - really can be a girl's best friend. So why, when women have much to celebrate, are we reluctant to talk about it? Why, when we have more wealth in our own names than ever before, do women take less interest in money than men? And why do we still feel that demonstrating an interest in finance is somehow...unfeminine? Because let's face it - for most of us, Prince Charming and his bank balance just aren't coming. If we want to secure our futures we're going to have to do it ourselves. The good news is that it's not hard to do. Dealing with our personal finances is much, much easier than the financial industry would have us believe. Women tend to make better investors than men too - our instincts, so to speak, are on the money. All we need is a bit of know-how and the confidence to put it into practice. Combining years of financial expertise with a healthy dose of scepticism and an easy sense of humour, Merryn Somerset Webb's sharp, witty and appealing guide to personal wealth for sassy women provides the answers. Whether you're drowning in debt, negotiating a higher salary or tackling the thorny issue of a pre-nup, just one read through and you'll be in a position to sort your finances out for good, transforming them from a constant worry into a source of peace of mind.
'Fascinating' Stylist magazine 'A powerful reminder that we cannot discuss 'wellness' without also talking about the elephant in the room: money. This book isn't just about getting reconnected with a helpful app or spreadsheet but something much more important than that: it will inspire you to reconnect with yourself.' Emma Gannon Financial Wellness and How to Find It takes finance out of the business pages and into our personal lives. It tells us that the way we think about money has a lot to do with the way we think about ourselves, and the stories we believe about what we deserve. When you feel bad about money, it's hard to feel good about life. We focus on health and wellness as essential for happiness, but so often we choose to bury our heads in the sand when it comes to taking positive action over our finances. Financial wellness doesn't mean being rich, having a portfolio of stocks and shares, or being #debtfree. It's about understanding your emotions around money, knowing who you can turn to for support and being aware of your subconscious beliefs about self-worth. Melanie Eusebe, founder of Money Moves, shares the tools and resources you need to reset your relationship with money, and take charge of your financial happiness, whatever your situation, and regardless of the economy. Financial Wellness and How to Find It is empowering and essential reading for anyone who ever earned a paycheque (and spent it).
