Keeping Finance Personal by Ellyce Fulmore
4.0
This book is not my normal read but the neurodivergent approach to finance had me immediately requesting an early release copy!
Thank you @hachettego and @ellyce.fulmore for providing me with a copy.
The material was easy to read, approachable and made my adhd brain feel empowered to try new methods to budget and take on finance in ways that will make me feel successful in the future!
I resonated with the college and scarcity section!
I grew up VERY poor.
When I finally had money and a career I felt like I needed to provide for my inner child to begin healing those wounds.
In reality I was creating new wounds for my inner young adult with new financial scarcity.
With college I felt like I went from rigid structure while working full time and in college full time to nothing and my spending was my coping mechanism for the lack of structure.
This book opened some new chapters of healing for me to explore in therapy and journaling.
Things I was avoiding, things I did not recognize in myself and my habits.
For all of my neuro friends, please take a chance on this book if you are anything like me and struggle with an all or nothing mindset, have struggled with scarcity or have at times struggled with outright avoidant behaviors when it comes to finance.
