Informed Choice Radio Personal Finance Podcast ICR087 - Chris Budd, Creating Financial Peace of Mind
Money worries are a big deal. They can cause a great deal of stress, and that stress can harm our general wellbeing.
In this episode of Informed Choice Radio, I speak to my friend Chris Budd, a very talented author, business coach and Financial Planner, and we talk about creating financial peace of mind.
Chris is the author of the newly published The Financial Wellbeing Book.
His book provides a simple and practical guide to planning your daily and long-term finances by understanding your objectives and motivations. In doing so, it offers respite from the anxiety and stress caused by money problems.
During our conversation, we talk about how Chris’ approach to financial planning is a little different to others in the profession; he explains where the idea for The Financial Wellbeing Book came from and what makes it such an important subject for all of us; and he also shares how writing fiction differs from non-fiction writing.
