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.

Money is very helpful lol
I wish I had more, so I could help more people and animals.
Money can be a great tool, or a harmful addiction.
um, wish I had more? Wish my hubs and I were more in agreement as to how to handle it.
I love money, however, I do not have much of it. We work with a budget and are always looking for new ways to stretch our dollars.
never seems to be enough
who needs a lot of money when you use coupons? 🙂
Spending it wisely. Not easy to do sometimes 🙂
I feel money shouldn’t exist; that trading and bartering goods is much better.
I feel like there is never enough money
I think money= power
Money can buy all kinds of stuffs
I’m comfortable with it as long as I can pay my bills and have some left over for fun.
Thank you.
I think that money has to be respected, and that in this country a lot of us tend to spend it as fast as we can. money isn’t everything when you have it, but it can sure make you miserable when you don’t! How can you focus on anything else if you can’t pay your rent or buy food for your family? We should save for emergencies, retirement, rainy days and so on.
money is nice to have
I treat money as wisely as I can. I feel like it is a resource that shouldn’t be wasted.
Money is a great thing that should not be wasted.
I think money is great. I wish I had more. I think it provides security.
Money is King
More money is always better than less money
