Finance β¦ Penny’s Take
If I Think about Money So Much, why Can't I Figure it Out?
Arlene Modica Matthews Β· 1991
64/100
π Skip It
Matthews was ahead of her time in linking emotional baggage to financial behavior, and the self-assessment exercises give readers something concrete to work with. But three decades of distance have worn the examples thin, and readers today have richer, better-researched books covering the same psychology-money territory. Worth hunting down only if you're specifically interested in the genre's history.
