Fabulous But Broke
When Alice fell down the rabbit hole she found a magic drink and a magic cake. Today many of us are still searching for the magic formula when it comes to finances but sadly it doesn't exist. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you knew that it was up to you, right? There are no unicorns, fairy godmothers or magical shoes coming to save you but you do have something very important which fairytale characters often don't have. Choice.
The problem is many of us are carrying such twisted money messages around with us that we aren't exercising choice. That's why I wrote this book - to challenge your mindset in a cheeky, fun way and to show you where you could be heading but, just as importantly, what an alternative ending might look like. That way we can be our own fairy godmothers and prince charmings and financially save ourselves.
Fabulous But Broke is a collection of financial fairytales which highlight money messages we carry with us and suggest an alternative, happy ending. From these stories I hope you will be inspired to write your own financial fairytale to make the right decisions for financial freedom, opportunity and happiness for today and the rest of your life.

I bought this book secondhand, attracted by the pretty illustrations and what I thought were modern retellings of classic fairytales. Imagine my surprise when I realised this is actually about financial planning!
The intro advises this isn’t a “how to” for financial success, rather an invitation for you to recognise your own financial habits and be inspired to initiate change. Although geared towards people in there 20s and 30s (which I am not), I recognised myself in a couple of stories and am definitely feeling inspired to avoid the typical endings (or cautionary tales) presented in the book.
It only took me an hour to read this book and feel like I have been given a gentle kick in the pants to check on my future financial security.

Had high hopes for this book, but it's just a comparison of fairytales to women's financial circumstances. Didn't enjoy it one bit, nor did I learn anything off of it.
