What this book is

There is a particular feeling that shows up around the middle of the month. You look at your balance and it is lower than you expected. Not catastrophically lower. Just lower. And you cannot immediately say why.

If that is familiar, you are not bad with money. You are living inside a system that is very good at extracting it. This is not a willpower problem, and the answer is not to try harder. It is better systems: decisions you make once, in advance, instead of every time you are tired. The book covers where money actually goes, the value equation, marketing traps, groceries, subscriptions, buying used, repair versus replace, big purchases, digital shopping discipline, and social pressure.

  • The Resourceful Consumer Toolkit: ten printable worksheets and trackers
