And so it was important to me to modernize financial advice with this.

Yeah, so I think that we, you know, the first part of the book, Mick, is so much about mindset because what I always say is, like, you can't actually change your financial life until you figure out why you have been relating to money the way that you have been.

Like, I could teach you everything about emergency funds and debt and investing, but you're never going to actually make any changes.

unless you actually understand like your why.

And so part of your why is breaking down your money identity.

And for a lot of us, we have these money identities and money stories that like you said, are related to like wanting money is bad.

Like, you know, I'm greedy if I want wealth, rich people are all evil and all these things that sort of keep you small and stuck.

But the truth is that money only magnifies who you are.

It only makes you more of who you already are.

If you are a weird person who's like, you know, nefarious and wants to do like things that are messed up and you've got a lot of money, then guess what?

It's going to be really easy for you to do that.

But if you're someone who wants to

you know, A, be able to take care of yourself really well so you can have great healthcare and leave jobs and relationships that don't serve you and live in a place that you feel really good about.

Like just like these great parts of life that we like overlook.

But also if you wanna help your community,

You want to be able to give back.

You want to help your parents, your family.

Like money is a tool to do all of that.

And so I don't think it's evil at all.

I just think that, you know, there are rich people who are evil, but there's probably there's broke people who are evil, too.
