There is no Shame in Surviving: An Unorthodox Approach to Destigmatizing the Financial Struggles

You just got paid, and suddenly, your paycheck is done, but talking about money on your own or in a relationship today seems taboo. However, you must figure out how to survive until the next payday. You have no money to your name, no food in the pantry, and an empty refrigerator. How exactly do you get ahead when the struggle is real and the bills are due? Living paycheck to paycheck is 'no cap.' This can lead you to struggle alone and in shame. We all need to know how to manage our money even after college.

As a result, positive and negative mindsets cannot occupy the mind simultaneously. You cannot have an ambulance mentality to sound 'we want' every time you have some money in your hands. Having a financial mindset to drive your decisions about saving, spending, and handling money is a good habit. However, one or the other must dominate, and like a frozen fractal, you need to let the ambulance mentality go. It is your responsibility to ensure that your financial mindset is your mind's dominating force. Begin to form healthy money habits of applying and using your freedom to spend, but also know when to tell yourself no.

This book is packed with creative financial insights, practical strategies, and real-world examples to engage and equip you with the tools to secure the bag, safeguard your assets, seize opportunities, and emerge with a financial mindset on that grind. Sure, you can manage things independently if you want to, but most people need more time to do things right, so this book was created as a guide to stop robbing Peter to pay Paul. If your values align with your goals and you spend or save money with these goals in mind, then ultimately, you will have greater life satisfaction.
