- Don’t forget! This is your last chance to comment for a chance to win our review copy of “The Problem With Money?
” by Jane Honeck. (See entry details below.)
- The book’s premise is that we all hold unconscious beliefs about money that strongly influence how we handle money. Honeck, who has 30 years of experience as a CPA, explores the negative beliefs that haven’t allowed your money grow.
The 123-page book is intended for those who
know how to spend money wisely, but just can’t stop making the same money mistakes over and over again like not saving for retirement or not having an emergency fund. Honeck will change your attitude and beliefs about money and set financial goals that you can keep.
Honeck reveals that although she was trained as a CPA, she held onto beliefs that negatively impacted her money. Her goal is to remove that blindfold from readers’ eyes and have them lead financially conscious lives. Honech writes:
During our time together, you’ll be doing exercises to unearth your money beliefs. Have a journal or notebook at your side as you read this book. You’ll use it to answer questions and to jot down things you notice as you start living a financially conscious life. Take lots of notes along the way. Being conscious with your money isn’t automatic — the notes will remind you of where you’ve been and where you’re doing.

Saving more for college for my seven kids.
My husband and I need to learn how to increase our emergency fund by pinching pennies in areas I feel we over spend. I would love to be able to set a budget and stick with it so we can increase the emergency fund, and not have it remain where it is.
Paying bills on time. I’m so overwhelmed with the bills I have to pay that I put off paying them on time. Then I blame my husband for not reminding me to do it on tme. I hate late fees.
I would say something, but i think the others need it more than i do
Save for an emergency fund–or using the one I have for what isn’t a real emergency!
I think I should be able to save more, but somehow money seems to just trickle away.
Keeping good current financial records in an accessible electronic form that could be imported to turbotax.
I don’t have either a retirement or emergency fund. I am unemployed at the moment.
Behind, behind, behind on the paperwork! To quote Tony Soprano’s consigliere, “You’re two time zones behind your own a**!”
Making/earning money is the most difficult!!
I should be picking up a complementary issue of the sunday paper from my school and clipping more coupons for groceries but as a sophomore in college, I’m too busy running around as it is.
Savings in, Savings out. Seems like we move some money to savings, only to ‘need’ to pull it back out. We’re working on cutting our spending. That’s what we need to do!

SAVING FOR KIDS COLLEGE IS A MUST
I’ll pay off my credit card with high payment every month, upset with myself for letting the balance get so high, once I’m back at a 0 balance, I”ll convince myself to use the c/c again …same cycle over and over!
I’ve always had trouble saving money, and had a lot of credit card debt. I am working on paying off all of my credit cards and have started a savings plan, but still have a a tough time not spending money on things. I am looking for all of the self-help info that I can get.
Saving for retirement.
I am having trouble saving as much as I would like.
My budget needs to reflect more of my personal goals. I spend so much time caring for others at work and putting my family first, that there is very little left for me. My husband and I have decided to add additional accounts for travel/fun, educational expenses and pampering. Even the dog has money set side for grooming/vet expenses, now mom will too!
