The Novel

Money Matters

5.0 (26 reviews on Amazon)

A novel about a family reckoning with money — what it buys, what it costs, and what it asks of the people who chase it. Paula’s first full-length work, born out of decades of watching real portfolios collide with real lives.

If this journal is the field notes, the novel is the story they came from.

What readers are saying

This should truly be a required read for high school. This is the “stuff you wish you were taught.” The author uses a great story to break down and explain foundational knowledge — and the story makes you unable to put the book down.

I started reading it and immediately got sucked into it. Financial knowledge can change a person’s life, and this book can definitely teach you how to change the way you look at investing for your future success.

Money Matters is easy to read, teaches you how to manage your personal finances layer by layer, and tackles each layer with real-world practicality. It is a guidebook for how to take accountability for your money — wrapped in the robes of a novel.

I fell asleep at night reading Tony Robbins’ books, but I stayed up past my bedtime reading this. I now make an additional stream of income ~$500/month using the advice from this book. Must buy for yourself, and a perfect gift for someone who loves to read.
