Book excerpt: A spending problem is more than a little bargain hunting on a whim, or a shopping spree to make yourself feel better. If you have a spending addiction, the entire shopping process becomes more of an obsession than of a pleasure. Instead of a gambler's high, you experience a shopping high. Only that elation is short-lived when the item you bought loses its luster and the bills begin to stack up. Emotional Spending: How to Break the Addiction looks candidly at the world of shopping obsession and how you can gain back control of your shopping addiction and your life. A must-read for anyone who has ever "spent a little too much" at the mall.

My approach to personal finance is called "Mindful Money Management." It is unique in that it harnesses the power of your emotions, so they can propel you forward like a rocket booster towards your Preferred Financial Destination. Yes, money is emotional, but you can prevent your heart from hijacking your wallet. Let me show you how.

Download or read book Seeking Pleasure Life written by Abdul Mumin Muhammad and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was told that we should be in pursuit of happiness! I discovered that this is a controlled society, meaning man's laws that cause chaos instead of balance. This great mass deception was solely created to make industries rich off of humanity, the insecure dissatisfied human ego. The ego can never be satisfied, no matter how much we feed it. So how much money are you spending a month to feel happy? This is about self-awareness so that we develop self-control. I say invest time seeking something natural such as joy! Happiness is an emotion like sadness, mad, or gladness. Happiness comes from external stimuli, whereas joy is an internal blissful feeling that is infinite. Outside things that stimulate the 5 senses give us happiness, simple things as doing what we love creates a sense of happiness. Without joy, when we are not happy we tend to feel empty as if something is missing, the mind is constantly looking to be stimulated when we are dissatisfied with ourselves. But with joy, even when we are not happy at the moment we can still laugh and share our joyful feelings with others.

If you think money can’t buy happiness, you’re not spending it right. Two rising stars in behavioral science explain how money can buy happiness—if you follow five core principles of smarter spending. Happy Money offers a tour of new research on the science of spending. Most people recognize that they need professional advice on how to earn, save, and invest their money. When it comes to spending that money, most people just follow their intuitions. But scientific research shows that those intuitions are often wrong. Happy Money explains why you can get more happiness for your money by following five principles, from choosing experiences over stuff to spending money on others. And the five principles can be used not only by individuals but by companies seeking to create happier employees and provide “happier products” to their customers. Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton show how companies from Google to Pepsi to Crate & Barrel have put these ideas into action. Along the way, the authors describe new research that reveals that luxury cars often provide no more pleasure than economy models, that commercials can actually enhance the enjoyment of watching television, and that residents of many cities frequently miss out on inexpensive pleasures in their hometowns. By the end of this book, readers will ask themselves one simple question whenever they reach for their wallets: Am I getting the biggest happiness bang for my buck?

Book excerpt: Does fear and insecurity keep you from looking at your bank account? Is your financial anxiety holding you captive? You don’t have to stress about money anymore. YOU can take back control. As a newly divorced single mom making $24,000 per year and facing down $77,000 in debt, Kumiko Love worried constantly about money. She saw what other moms had—vacations, birthday parties, a house full of furniture—and felt ashamed that she and her son lived in a small apartment and ate dinner on the floor. Worse, when her feelings began to exhaust her, she binge-shopped, reasoning that she’d feel better after a trip to the mall. On the day she needed to pay for a McDonald’s ice cream cone without her credit card, she had an epiphany: Money is not the problem. Self-Doubt is the problem. Shame is the problem. Guilt is the problem. Society’s expectations for her are the problem. She is the solution. Once she reversed the negative thinking patterns pushing her toward decisions that didn’t serve her values or goals, her financial plan wrote itself. Now, she’s not only living debt-free in her dream home, which she paid for in cash, but she has spread her teachings around the world and helped countless women envision better lives for themselves and their families. Now, building on the lessons she’s taught millions as the founder of The Budget Mom, she shares a step by step plan for taking control back over your financial life—regardless of your level of income or your credit card balance. Through stories from navigating divorce to helping clients thrive through recessions, depression, eviction, layoffs and so much more, you will learn foundational practices such as: How to use your emotions to your financial advantage, instead of letting them control you How to create a budget based on your real life, not a life of self-denial How to create a motivating debt pay-off plan that makes you excited about your future, instead of fearing it My Money My Way will give you the tools to align your emotional health with your financial health—to let go of deprivation and embrace desire. Love’s paradigm-shifting system will teach you how to honor your unique personal values, driving emotions, and particular needs so that you can stop worrying about money and start living a financially fulfilled life.
