Good Money: Six Steps to Building a Financial Life with Purpose - John Coleman

\nDo more with your money. Use it to flourish.\n \nTraditional personal finance books mostly accept the same goals for all people: make as much money as possible, fund a college education for your kids, save for retirement. These books mechanistically advise readers to budget, take out a mortgage, open savings vehicles, and so on--without much thought as to who we are as individuals.\n \nBut is that all? Will that formula make people happy?\n \nTo achieve a more meaningful life, one must address the role that money plays in it. In this book, investor, author, and speaker John Coleman offers a new mindset around personal finance, one that puts purpose at its core. It provides a six-part framework for using money properly to lead a financial life of flourishing: \n \n- Change how you think about money. \n- Choose a job that earns with purpose. \n- Spend and consume wisely. \n- Use your means to help others. \n- Invest for maximum impact. \n- Save for freedom, not retirement. \n\n \nUsing firsthand interviews and examples, Good Money walks through each of these steps, providing helpful--and sometimes counterintuitive--advice on how to use your wealth to flourish and find greater meaning, now and long into the future.\n
