Book excerpt: Lack of financial know-how is hitting us hard. We aren't saving enough money for the future, are stuck paying over the odds for goods, and drowning in debt; so how do we take back control of our money? In The M Word, expert and go-to commentator on financial issues, Lisa Conway-Hughes tackles the negative stigmas when it comes to our money. With over a decade of experience, Lisa explains that the secret to good financial wellbeing is all about breaking bad habits, but in a way that feels empowering - not disapproving. Each chapter will cover a separate money-related topic, with helpful tips, practical activities and space to journal your progress and measure your successes. From demolishing your debt and getting on the property ladder, right through to funding a once-in-a-lifetime trip, de-tangling your finances from your partners, and how exactly to ask for a pay rise that will make a difference. Whether you want to get savvy about closing the gender pay gap, secure a profitable pension, or simply avoid the lure of over-priced products - it's time to stop beating yourself up, transform your mind-set, and take those small steps that can change your life in a big way. The definitive guide for anyone wanting to start their journey to a more informed and empowered future, The M Word will not only overhaul your money management, but enhance your wellbeing in the process.
