Having a good relationship with money is tough – whether you have millions in the bank or just a few bucks to your name. Why? Because just like any other relationship, your life with money has its ups and downs, its twists and turns, its breakups and makeups. And just like other relationships, living happily with money really comes down to love – which is why love is the basis of money maven Kate Northrup’s book.
After taking the Money Love Quiz to see where on the spectrum your relationship with money stands – somewhere between “on the outs” and “it’s true love!” – Northrup takes you on a rollicking ride to a better understanding of yourself and your money. Step-by-step exercises that address both the emotional and practical aspects of your financial life help you figure out your personal perceptions of money and wealth and how to change them for the better. You’ll learn about thought patterns that may be holding you back from earning what you’re worth or saving what you can. You’ll learn how to chart your current financial life and create a plan to get you to where you want to be – whether that’s earning enough to live in a penthouse in Manhattan or a cabin in the Rockies.
Using client stories and her own saga of moving from $20,000 of debt to complete financial freedom by the age of 28, Northrup acts as a guide in your quest for personal financial freedom. She’ll teach you how to shift your beliefs about money, create a budget, spend in line with your values, get out of debt, and so much more. In short, she’ll teach you to love your money, so you can love your life.

So good!
When I read the first chapter of this book and did the money quiz I literally fell into a deep state of depression. I remember the day so clearly because I was on my way to visit a friend for lunch at the Columbus Circle mall in NYC. I just got off the train with the Kate’s questions resounding in my head and the self beat up that I, a 33 year old talented, educated, opera singer, did NOT have her life together. As I walked into the mall my chest tightened and I felt smaller than a grain of sand. The self beat up rang loudly in my ears and by the time I saw my friend I must have looked pale for a black woman because he asked if I needed to leave right away. I felt sick to my stomach. We went to lunch but instead of eating I watched my friend eat lunch while I had none. I could not spend another dime!
Thankfully trusted friends allow us the space to go through whatever one needs to and they lovingly encourage us as we go through deep emotional waters. Money, A Love Story was my guide through the storm of my depression and confusion around my money (a physical manifestation of my perceived value). I was diligent and desperate. I did ALL the exercises; Daily affirmations, explore the book suggestions, meditation, checking my money daily, choosing gratitude every day I looked at my back account statements, and so much more. I paid off 3 long standing credit cards, consolidated my 10 student loans into one, raised my credit score, and actually have over $500 in my savings account for the first time ever. I gained so much clarity on beliefs I had been holding. I had NO clue these beliefs were holding me back. I still have a journey ahead of me to release the remaining debt and restructure the way I earn income. What this book has given me are tools that I can continue to apply for the rest of my life. And! Kate gave so many other book suggestions that I’m excited and inspired to continue my journey with the wisdom of others who have gone through this before. The choice to face myself for the irresponsible choices from my past, the commitment to forgive myself, and nurture a life of abundance that is in alignment with Self love is a priceless gift. Thank you Kate for sharing your Truth and inspiring countless others to do the same.
And if your considering if this book is for you take a moment to decide if you have a desire to understand the truth behind your choices. Maybe you’re a sensitively connected soul desperate enough to gain some clarity on the real reason why your financial health is messy. If so, then this is a beautiful starting place for you to gain that clarity and garner tools to begin your journey back to your inherent value.
Blessings!

Truly a gem!!
I heard about Kate via Marie Forleo and as a member of Marie’s B-School, I love all things entrepreneurial these days.
However, I have some financial issues that I have been working on through a personal financial coach and now through Kate’s book. The way in which Kate writes and the way in which she shared her personal story really connected to my own story and she actually inspired me to “do” the financial journal – she made me take action because of the way her story connected to me. I have wanted to build a home for a long time – however, it really hit me, that I may not want to right now…..so I have deferred the dream, but what I realized is that the home that I have is really just fine for now. A huge shift….and a huge burden released for me.
She writes in a loving and compassionate manner, yet she encourages you, without being “bossy” to take action in your own life. I personally had a major shift which was coming thanks to my life coach and past financial coach. Kate’s words that she took from her mom, Dr. Christine Northrup, “you have to feel it to heal it” were just what I need to hear. And that is so true. That quote hangs on my fridge…..and it also resonates with Danielle LaPorte who constantly asks, “how do you want to feel?”
For me and with the help of Kate and others, I want to feel empowered and able to LOVE money….I do not want to fear it or live in a lack mentality.
You are most gifted as an author, Kate Northrup, and I am very fortunate to have picked up this book (well…downloaded it to my cell phone that I actually read while on my stationary bike).
Thank you, Kate!! Your work is most outstanding and extraordinary.

Sometimes it’s no about the money
After reading MONEY A LOVE STORY there are a lot of ideas to digest and go deep in my understanding of money beyond the academic way.
The first action is to take a quiz to know where you are right now about your relationship with money. I think the book works pretty well even from the title to heal finance issues. What does love have to do in the equation? Kate Northup explains it in the first chapter. Along the book youâll find exercises to work with all the ideas that the author writes about. Although, she mentions other authors that have helped her in her journey to financial freedom and that Iâll be checking out as well.

Buy it! But it now!
I dont usually write reviews but I felt compelled to leave one for this book. I’ve always struggled with spending more than I earn due to just not paying attention to what I’m spending. I was a bit hesitant about buying this book but boy, am I glad I did! I can honestly say it has completely changed my life with money. I feel so much more in control of my spending and confident about the future. I am no longer living paycheck to paycheck and I couldn’t be more proud of myself. There are a lot of exercises in this book to help you understand your relationship with money and though I usually skip through these exercises, I decided to give them ago. I would highly suggest that you complete these exercises as this is what will change your outlook on finances rather than just the reading. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to get their finances back on track! I really can’t say enough good things about this book.

Full of inspiring and motivational stories. Kate makes a point and then illustrates it with fun candid stories. This creates a uplifting atmosphere to a thoroughly enjoyable read.

The author presents a holistic approach to personal finance and describes her own journey from indebtedness to financial freedom.
The book contains many practical exercises that you can take to gain control of your finances and have a better relationship with money.

It’s more of a self-biography about the author who comes from a wealthy and privileged background. The author prides herself to have paid off debt of 20k – that’s nothing revolutionary. There is no substance to this book such as practical or spiritual advise. Furthermore it’s poorly written and boring.

Wer immer wieder mit dem Geld hadert und einen “anderen” Weg sucht, sollte dieses Buch lesen und damit arbeiten.
Es ist hilfreich, um seine Situation und die damit verbundenen Glaubenshaltungen zu klären. Die Lösungsvorschläge, um aus einer finanziellen Misere heraus zu kommen, sind sehr amerikanisch. Aber darum geht es auch nicht wirklich.
