The 60 Minute Money Workout by Ellie Kay

Do spreadsheets, worksheets and computer programs confuse you? Does the idea of breaking down every aspect of your financial existence overwhelm you? Are you in desperate need of financial help but have no clue where to start?

The 60 Minute Money Workout by Ellie Kay may be just the financial game plan you have been searching for. Unlike many books dedicated to reworking your financial situation, Kay breaks down what makes you spend the way you do and helps you have discussions with yourself and your spouse in order to change your lifestyle. By keeping her "workouts" very basic and broad, she helps you think about where you are and where you would like to be while creating short and long term plans to alter your financial future.

By breaking your finances into several one hour "workout" sessions, Kay's method prevents mental and emotional burn out while tackling the large task of revamping your financial future. She encourages taking breaks, being positive and focusing on the fact that you can change one step at a time without spending hours at a desk or computer surrounded by papers and files.

If you are a number person at heart and enjoy very structured instructions on caring for your finances, The 60 Minute Money Workout may not be for you. If, however, you are like me and prefer a more abstract yet still workable approach to improving your financial lifestyle, then I recommend checking out this book. You will discover your financial personality, create plans for debt, allowances and expenses and turn your spending lifestyle around through a series of 60 minute sessions.
