Money isn’t something we often talk about. It can be an uncomfortable topic, like sex, religion, or politics. But the more time we spend discussing these topics, the more comfortable they become. Let me say that again…The more time we spend discussing these topics, the more comfortable they become.

I’m saying this not only for you as the reader, but for myself because it’s not something I often discuss, either. Before I dive in any further, let’s take a quick moment to pause and reflect.

No matter what’s going on in my life, one thing is always consistent: I love crawling into bed with a book. 9 times out of 10 it’s a self-help book. I’ve always been fascinated by the topic of improving my life and the lives of others and self-help books help quench my thirst for personal improvement knowledge.
