Financially Capable: A Friendly Guide to Building Whole-Health Wealth Kindle Edition
The good news is that financial education can offer a pathway out of poverty and a road to riches. At a time when Americans are facing crushing student debt, lack of savings, and a challenging economy, learning to be financially capable is an essential life skill to master.
While the need for financial education has never been greater, learning alone won't change lives. Financial capability is more than just knowledge. It includes whether you have the emotional and physical abilities, skills, and opportunities to access safe, appropriate financial products and services.
In this easy-to-understand guide, Matt Paradise offers new research, valuable resources, tools, and tips to help you manage your money and build a strong foundation for a secure future. In this book you'll learn:
* How your values, mindset, and behaviors affect your finances.
* How to develop a budget you can actually live with.
* Which financial products and services will help you grow your savings.
* How to avoid predatory loans, scams, fraud and identity theft.
* Strategies for building whole health wealth.
* Practical tips to help you manage debt and improve your credit score.
With engaging anecdotes, real-life examples, and actionable tips, Financially Capable will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to make informed financial decisions.
**This book is not just a onetime read; it is a practical guide that you can refer to whenever you need financial guidance at different stages of your life.**

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Financially Capable helps readers grapple with understanding why they make
the decisions they do about money."
—Tim Ranzetta, Co-founder of Next Gen Personal Finance
"Empathetic and relatable, Financially Capable speaks to the heart of issues faced
by young people as they make their way in a complex, confusing, and often
predatory financial world."
—Dr. Sarah Newcomb, Director of Financial Psychology at Morningstar and author of Loaded
"Matt Paradise wrote a must-read book that empowers readers to question old assumptions and embrace new ideas and perspectives. This book is a helpful and actionable guide for everyone who wants to really understand what's going on with their personal finances and the financial industry."
—Rahkim Sabree CFEI®, RFC® Author Financially Irresponsible
"Readers will be empowered to take control of their finances and futures.
A timeless go-to guide."
—Tammy Gooler Loeb, author of Work from the Inside Out
"Matt Paradise provides a unique perspective and valuable insight so you'll understand
what to do with your money, and you'll understand why you've been thinking and behaving the way you have up until now. You'll have the tools, strategies, ideas—and most importantly the confidence—to move into your financial future, starting today."
—Honorée Corder Publishing consultant and Author of You Must Write a Book
"Financially Capable offers a key to understanding financial access and attitudes that influence not only money-making abilities, but personal and financial value. Matt Paradise [expands] the concept of wealth and what makes it valuable. His book explores and explains financial literacy and links financial to life objectives, making it accessible to group discussion and non-financial readers. Its foundation idea of how mindsets, values, and behavior affect financial decision-making and capability is explored in chapters that provide strategies for building both financial security and a rich life.
As Paradise discusses budgeting, money management systems, and common sources of stress, readers receive the opportunity to relate their financial health to the emotional factors that influence decisions and perceptions. Another rare feature of this financial guide is that it acknowledges that disparate interests and ideas of life and wealth affect personal financial planning and health. Financially Capable promotes flexibility alongside knowledge of how money, credit, and financial institutions work. This will, ideally, encourage dialogues and discoveries in book club and group settings where financial issues are of interest. Libraries should recommend Financially Capable to adult patrons [and] young adults."
—D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
