Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Good with Money
Emma Edwards · 2024
77/100
👍 Worth It
Emma Edwards is a Certified Financial Behavior Specialist with graduate training in financial psychology, and this 2024 debut earned a 2025 Silver Award from Investing Insiders — that is real third-party recognition. It takes a warm, reflective approach to the emotional side of money rather than just the math, which makes it genuinely useful for people who know the rules but still struggle to follow them. Readers already financially literate may find it repetitive, and its ANZ geographic framing shows at times, but for young adults just finding their footing with money it is a strong pick.
