ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jonathan and Amanda Teixeira are cofounders of WalletWin, a financial-success program and podcast that help everyday Catholics get intentional with money. In 2012, they were $24,500 in debt, but in less than eight months, they had paid off all their loans and closed the doors on debt forever. Since kicking debt to the curb, they’ve focused on saving, investing, and giving, and they’re now teaching others how to do the same.
This book is excellent for those who want to change their view on money. For so long, I hated logging into my bank account to see the "damage" -- Amanda and Jonathan present a fresh perspective in this book and helped us get control of our finances. I love the Catholic approach they stand on. It challenged us to think about how we are spending our money and WHY we want to be generous with what God has given us. Would highly recommend this book.
The Catholic version of Dave Ramsey's "Financial Peace University" / Total Money Makeover book.
Good Catholic perspective and tweaks. Genuine and heartfelt passion for helping people get out of debt / slavery to lenders and have freedom to save, spend, and give generously.
Great book with the fundamentals of how to properly understand and treat money. I like how they also gave info on things they don't teach you in school such as insurance and investment types.
