How I think about money

I’ve always believed that money is rarely just about the math; it’s about the person. For most of us, finances are the single biggest stressor in our lives, and that stress is deeply rooted in our psychology, our upbringing and our sense of security. I think about money as a lens through which we see the world. My goal is to strip away the shame often associated with financial hurdles and replace it with empathy, helping readers navigate the emotional and systemic complexities of their bank accounts.
