Moneyfulness: Learning to live with money
by Michael Keet

Money. A small word that belies the impact on our lives caused by how much of it we have, or worse, do not have. A small word that belies the huge stresses caused by lack of, irregularity of, or just not having enough to live the life you want.

Money. A small word that belies the impact on our lives caused by how much of it we have, or worse, do not have. A small word that belies the huge stresses caused by lack of, irregularity of, or just not having enough to live the life you want. What we often don't consider is where we get our beliefs about money from, or how those beliefs may affect our feelings and behaviours around it. We often do not challenge the thoughts we have around money, instead accepting that this is just how things are meant to be, that we cannot change how things work, that things will never change... But what if we are wrong?
In this groundbreaking new book, Michael Keet introduces us to a new way of looking at an old problem, helping us to identify and challenge our beliefs around money and poverty. Keet suggests that it is our mindset, specifically our attitude to, and beliefs about money, and poverty that need to change, and from this starting point, proceeds to talk us through his system using mindfulness as his guide. We examine our beliefs, using a series of questions to help us identify beliefs we may not have even realised we carry, recognise spending patterns etc before we are reminded that while circumstances change, our ability to control how we feel about money doesn't have to – poverty as mindset can change.
Moneyfulness is not just a practical approach to getting your finances in order, but about learning to think about money in a way that does not have such negative effects on us. By taking us through his system, step by step, we can learn to minimise the stress we feel around finances, and whilst this cannot change our circumstances, it can have a huge impact on our mental and physical well being – after all, stress is a very well known factor in poor health. We are also talked through how the concept of paying it forward, and how we can help others to help themselves. The advice given is applicable, whether on a personal or professional level , and whilst it may not always be an easy process, it is certainly a worthwhile one. I would heartily recommend not just reading it yourself, but giving it to your children when you are finished.

"Okay, how do I say this?
Basically I’ve bought more books that I can count when it comes to money, finances and planning the immediate practical future. BUT, all of them just sit there after I have read a couple of pages. Most of them I just can’t relate to! This book is perfect for individuals that are organizing their lives and wanting to walk their way into financial freedom. I love the approach and I can say is the first money book I read all the way to the end!! Nicely done!"

Trying to navigate anything to do with money is, at the very least, a challenge. Doing it with minimal knowledge in finances, banking, investing, savings etc. is like navigating a minefield blindfolded.

I appreciate this book for answering of questions a lot of people in my age demographic have difficulty answering.

What I like most about this book is that it clarified aforementioned topics to me in a HUMAN way, as opposed to a generic google search way. Great work.

This was so easy to read and I am so happy that I decided to read it along with my husband. We have always said that we should have learned more about finances in school because we were both just blowing in the wind. We now have a clear cut plan for our financial future and will be able to pass the knowledge along to our children as they grow.

This is the book they should assign in their senior year in high school. I wish I knew this stuff when I was younger. I certainly wouldn’t be broke and lost financially as I am now. I’ll take the information and start my recovery now. Don’t worry, the author “speaks” to the reader and uses colorful language so you won’t get bored.

I would recommend this book to people who are starting out and want to understand how their current decisions will impact their financial future. Also, for anyone (like me) who started out ages ago and needs a refresher on financial and life priorities, read this! Get honest about the hard truths. They won’t go away, this book will just help you better take them on.
