5-Star Living on a 2-Star Budget: Simple Solutions. Abundant Results.

by Danielli Martel

Overview

The moral of this story is that money is a tool that we must use in this existence. As with any tool, the more you know how to use it, the better the outcome. However, money and goods aren't everything. It is important to find things to do and people who bring you joy without causing financial hardship. Regardless of one's financial standing, the tips and tricks found within the book apply to everybody, especially those in a period of transition and transformation. These can be scary times. Financial discord is a significant contributor to a person feeling anxiety, strain, anger, peer pressure, suffering repercussions in the form of poor health and poor quality of life. Often, these stressors lead to divorce, overall dissatisfaction with life, familiar discourse, and a desire to give up. Through this journey we will learn that we will overcome. We will thrive! The reader will learn to manage their household finances in the same manner in which businesses manage their finances. Finances are, after all, part of the business of living. We will learn and apply healthy financial habits in order to acquire and maintain one's basic needs to survive in the material world. This includes shelter, food, and clothing. It is imperative to develop the discipline to save toward growth and betterment. Together, we will explore how and what that looks like. We will learn recovery tools for changes beyond our control. We will explore the value of acceptance and remember that this too shall pass...when one puts effort into affecting change. The reader will learn how to squeeze every bit of value out of every dollar they have using simple and easy to apply tactics. We will delve into how to make the most out of what you have and how to take steps to earn more of what you want. This book is important because it teaches the reader the basics of finance (the lessons that aren't taught in school), the power of asking questions, the benefits of being your authentic self, tools to overcome seemingly insurmountable issues, strength to face uncomfortable discussions/situations, the value of sharing your truth with others and the reward of living a life of being of service to others. This will leave the reader feeling empowered with practical and easily applied tips and tricks shared within the book to set the reader on a path to a more joyful and abundant life experience.
