The Social’s finance expert connects money and happiness in this fresh, feel-good guide to financial well-being
Everything tells us that what will make us happy can be bought, whether it’s the latest gadgets, renovated kitchens, or luxury goods. But research has shown that having more money in the bank and more stuff around the house doesn’t necessarily correlate with being a happier person. With Happy Go Money, financial expert Melissa Leong cuts through the noise to show you how to get the most delight for your dollar.
Happy Go Money combines happiness psychology and personal finance and distills it into an indispensable starter guide. Each snappy chapter provides practical, easy-to-understand advice on topics such as spending, budgeting, investing, and mindfulness, while weaving in research, interactive exercises, and relatable anecdotes. Frank, funny, and empowering, this primer challenges everyone to revamp their relationship with their money so they can dial down their worries and supersize their joy.
"A book that puts money, life and happiness in perspective. Loved every minute of it.”
— Gail Vaz-Oxlade, author of Money Rules October 30, 2018
“While it’s true that money isn’t the first ingredient to happiness, lacking financial awareness can be a barrier to happiness – and a barrier to advancement, which has been making women unhappy for a long, long time. Women have been encouraged to talk more openly about money, to develop a relationship with it, and to understand how we can make money work for us, and Melissa Leong has produced a valuable resource as we engage in this conversation. Happy Go Money is informative but also accessible, smart and funny, silly and sexy, tough and also kind. Melissa Leong has given money a makeover — and she looks SO good.”
