This month’s LWD Book Club selection, Financially Chic, was written by someone I “met” online years ago. We were in a francophile group together and I began reading her blog. A number of years later she began writing books and this is one I’ve been meaning to read for awhile. With the current high rate of inflation I think this is an excellent time to give thought to our finances.

Financially Chic:
Live a luxurious life on a budget,
learn to love managing money,
and grow your wealth
by Fiona Ferris
I bought this book in February following my usual No-Spend January. I meant to read it then and continue my efforts to save money but didn’t get around to it. But as they say, there’s no time like the present!
I’m looking forward to Fiona’s chic take on a topic that is too often boring and, let’s face it, not fun at all.
Financially Chic by Fiona Ferris
Does the topic of money and personal finance stress you out? Would you like to learn more about living an ‘expensive’ life on a budget? Instead of feeling constricted and broke when you are on a slim income or have debt to pay off, ‘Financially Chic’ invites you to look upon it as a fun and exciting adventure; where you gain as much enjoyment as possible for the least amount of cost, as well as learning to get ahead financially. It feels creative and satisfying and will set you up for a lifetime of good habits, no matter the age you are starting from.
My wish for this book is that it encourages you to think about money in a way that makes you feel in control, uplifted and inspired to steer yourself towards a joyous and prosperous future. I want to share my contagious beliefs that dealing with your money can be fun and exciting. I know many women have a fractious relationship with their finances and can often be quite scared of dealing with things. I have felt that way in the past too. I do hope you will join me in this journey because it feels so much better to have a good relationship with your money than not.
I love the saying ‘Look after your money, and your money will look after you’. It doesn’t have to be scary, and you don’t have to worry about becoming greedy if you focus on your finances; all that will happen is that this important area of your life will feel happier, freer and more bountiful. It is a glorious feeling and well within your reach. I hope that by the end of this book you will be eager and enthusiastic about your own finances, in fact, I’m sure you will!

I definitely agree looking after finances is something we all need to be thinking about right now – no matter what country we’re in, or what our lifestyle, or whatever.

So true. With my husband’s retirement coming up in a few years I’m thinking about this more and more.
