 The Money Code: Improve Your Entire Financial Life Right Now By Joe John Duran, CFA

Does it seem as if there’s never enough money to do everything you want?
Do you struggle with feeling genuine security about your financial life?
Do you feel frustrated talking about money with your loved ones?

You’re not alone. Unfortunately, most of us were never taught how to think and communicate about money. The Money Code is a modern tale of one person’s journey to uncover the five secrets to living his one best financial life.
Through his voyage, you’ll learn how to:
– Prevent bad decisions about money
– Identify your Money Mind–Fear, Happiness, or Commitment–and how it affects every financial decision you make
– Use a custom checklist to improve your entire financial life
– Clearly discuss decisions about money with the ones you love
– Finally take complete control of your financial life
I was given a copy of The Money Code to review.  I don’t normally do reviews of books but I was intrigued by the title and the topic in general.  Who couldn’t use a little help with their financial life, right?  Most of us are not really taught how to make big financial decisions both for ourselves and with our partners.  The Money Code really makes you stop and think about how you view money, how you handle money, and how your past experiences with money influence your decisions on how to handle money.  The author shares how your biases will affect every financial decision you make.  Everyone has one of 3 Money Minds- Fear, Happiness, and Commitment.  It is our Money Mind that guides our decisions on money.  The book is written about a fictional character, Jack, and as he learns more about how to make better financial decisions, so does the reader.  I found the book a very easy read.  It has great tips and a checklist of making financial decisions.  I am sure I will be pulling it out the next time my hubby and I need to make a financial decision.
