Synopsis

An intersectional approach to personal finance from queer, neurodivergent personal finance educator and TikToker, Ellyce Fulmore.
 
There’s no magic formula for being “good with money.” The perfect budgeting spreadsheet or debt repayment plan will never address the root of your money issues. When Ellyce Fulmore started her journey with personal finance, she was drowning in $35K of debt, had $60 to her name, and avoided looking at her bank account. Her own “aha” moment came when she realized that the reason she and so many others have struggled with finances has little to do with being “bad with money.” Instead, it has everything to do how identity and lived experience affect financial behaviors.
 
Now in Keeping Finance Personal, Ellyce offers a shame-free, trauma-aware approach that explores the complex, nuanced, and deeply personal relationship between your identity and your money. With chapters exploring topics such as finding safe spaces, personal values, relationship dynamics, family systems, and culture, it’s clear this is not your typical finance book. Readers will engage with how their upbringing, sense of self, trauma, and mental health impact their decisions, and begin a journey to change their relationship with money.
 
This book is for the woman facing sexism at her local bank, the neurodivergent person struggling with impulse spending, the young adult questioning societal expectations, the 2SLGBTQIA+ couple searching for a place to rent—all the people that don’t fit into the mold that traditional finance advice is aimed at. Filled with interviews from a diverse range of voices, practical exercises, and tangible tips, Keeping Finance Personal provides a path to develop a healthy money mindset and create a life where financial stability and joy coexist.

Does anyone else also have a “purse book” or “bag book” on them at all times? I literally have three 🤣 I always have a book on the kindle app on my phone, I carry headphones for whatever my current audiobook is, and then I always have a “purse book” too.

I really like that this combines mental health topics with finance topics. It’s a unique perspective on the topic of finance, which is a genre where books can oftentimes be very cookie cutter, especially to me. This brings a unique perspective & contains lots of useful yet thoughtful info. Thank you......more

Goodreads review by Allison on October 23, 2023

Great start with the chapter you shouldn’t skip. There are terms, legend for what pictures mean, directions, and insightful tips you won’t want to miss before diving in. I absolutely loved the visuals as it only promoted the understanding of the material Ellyce presented. The thought provoking quest......more

Goodreads review by Kenna on January 14, 2024

If you are only going to buy one book for the rest of your life, this should be that book. I am beyond grateful for Ellyce’s Keeping Finance Personal. This is the only financial book I have read that is neurodivergent-friendly and takes an intersectional approach. Worrying about money has been a big......more

Thank you Netgalley for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! I'm so happy my friend recommended this to me.
