5 ways to cut back your spending

In 'Get Money,' Kristin Wong provides a step-by-step, highly engaging guide to personal finance. The book is structured into three stages: Power Up, Optimize, and Grow. Wong covers topics such as building a functional budget, super-charging debt payoff plans, strategically improving credit scores, negotiating skills, side-hustling, and starting a lazy investment portfolio. The book includes interactive challenges, interviews with financial experts, and practical exercises to help readers take control of their finances and live the life they want, not just the life they can afford.

Get Good with Money introduces a ten-step plan for attaining financial security and peace of mind. The book, written by Tiffany Aliche, emphasizes the concept of 'financial wholeness' as a realistic and achievable alternative to get-rich-quick schemes. It covers topics such as building a budget, saving, paying off debt, building credit, increasing income, investing, using insurance, establishing net worth goals, and assembling a financial team. The book includes helpful checklists, worksheets, and resources to make financial literacy accessible and actionable for readers at all financial stages.

Finance for the People by Paco de Leon is a unique approach to personal finance that focuses on examining and changing your beliefs and experiences around money. Unlike most personal finance books, it combines practical exercises with mindfulness and includes over 50 illustrations and diagrams to make financial concepts accessible and fun. The book helps readers root out unconscious beliefs about money, untangle the mental and emotional burden of student loans, use gratitude practices to alter spending habits, and break out of the debt cycle to begin building wealth. It is designed for anyone who feels unseen or ignored by traditional personal finance advice and is ready for a journey of self-discovery to step into their financial power.
