Good Money: Six Steps to Building a Financial Life with Purpose

Align your finances with purpose, impact, and personal fulfillment.

Traditional personal finance books generally promote the same goals for everyone: make as much money as possible, fund your kids' college educations, and save for retirement. These books mechanistically advise us to budget, take out a mortgage, open savings accounts, and so on--without much thought as to who we are as individuals.

But is that all? Will that formula make you happy?

Good Money is about building a meaningful life, not just a bigger bank account. In this book, investor and author John Coleman offers a new mindset around personal finance, one that puts purpose at its core. He provides a six-part framework for building a relationship with money that leads to human flourishing:

• Change the way you think about money
• Prioritize purpose in your work and career
• Spend and consume wisely
• Use your means to help others
• Invest for maximum impact
• Save for freedom, not retirement

Filled with detailed examples and firsthand interviews as well as guidance on applying these principles to the well-being of your children and family,  Good Money walks you through each of these steps, providing helpful--and sometimes counterintuitive--advice on how to use your wealth to flourish, find greater significance, and ensure your actions have the impact you want, now and long into the future.
