How Does Fear Affect Financial Decisions?
Fear has a lot less power when we have a plan.
That’s the idea behind The Morality of Money. You don’t overcome financial fear by accumulating enough money to guarantee that nothing bad will ever happen. You overcome it by understanding your money, knowing what matters to you and having a way to make good decisions when life doesn’t go according to plan.
This book gives you that plan.

You don’t need to know exactly what life is going to do next. You need confidence that you can make a thoughtful decision when it does.
Know How Money Works
Fear thrives in uncertainty. Solid financial and economic education gives you the foundation to understand your choices instead of simply reacting to them.
Use the 8-Step Process
The Morality of Money gives you an eight-step decision-making process for sorting through choices, trade-offs, consequences and what really matters before fear makes the decision for you.
Remember: It’s More Than Money
A financially sound decision isn’t automatically the right decision. Your values, relationships, faith, time, purpose and the life you’re trying to create belong in the equation too.
That’s why this isn’t another book telling you to save more, spend less and follow somebody else’s rules.
The Morality of Money helps you understand the money, examine the bigger picture and make decisions for your own life.
DISCOVER THE MORALITY OF MONEYAnd Then There’s Faith.
A plan doesn’t mean controlling everything.
Sometimes the financially “safe” choice isn’t the choice we’re supposed to make. Sometimes life changes. Sometimes a door closes. Sometimes faith asks us to move without knowing exactly what comes next.
That’s where my conversation with Julie Wagner went. We talked about The Morality of Money, fear, faith, reinvention and what happened when my own carefully constructed version of security fell apart.
