At Peace With Money’s Best of the Blog 2021

This year at At Peace With Money, we covered a lot of great topics on the blog, so I thought it might be a great time to do a “best of” post to wrap up the year. Collected below are our top 10 blog articles from the past year. The topics run the gamut from money affirmations to taxes, but all of these articles provide solid enough insights that they became crowd pleasers! My goal is always to provide helpful and compassionate financial education resources, and I think these ten posts do a great job of just that.

  1. Book Review: 55, Underemployed, and Faking Normal – In which I highly recommend Elizabeth White’s wonderful book, which manages to combine healthy doses of compassion and practical advice, a potent and helpful mix. 
  2. How to Use Affirmations to Transform Your Relationship With Money – This post goes into depth on my thoughts on how money affirmations can assist us in rewiring our money mindsets and digging through the emotional baggage we carry around our finances.

  8. Boost Your Happiness By Clarifying Your Lifestyle Costs – Your business exists to support you; to fulfill your needs. If you don’t have a clear picture of what those needs are, it can be difficult for your business to fill them.
