About the book

This isn’t a “how to get rich” book. It’s a “how to live well” book.

Our financial system is broken. Creative Money is a tool to live creatively and securely within that system without letting it crush your spirit — for people who want to build a financial life aligned with their values.

It’s about rewriting your relationship with money, so you can build a life that feels like your own — not the one a spreadsheet says you should want.

What’s inside

New rules for a broken system

Rewrite your money story

Unpack the beliefs about spending, saving, and worth you didn’t choose — and decide which ones to keep.

Equity & windfalls, demystified

Stock options, RSUs, and once-in-a-lifetime payouts explained in plain English, from a CFP® who does this all day.

Build a values-aligned plan

Practical frameworks to spend, give, and invest in a way that actually reflects what you care about.

Money for irregular income

How to plan when your paychecks don’t arrive like everyone else’s — for freelancers, founders, and creatives.

Less shame, more agency

Trade financial anxiety for clarity and confidence, without pretending money is simple.

A life that feels like yours

The end goal isn’t a bigger number — it’s a life designed on purpose.

Who it’s for

  • Artists & creatives building careers on their own terms
  • Founders and startup employees facing equity and exits
  • High earners who still feel anxious about money
  • Freelancers with income that won’t sit still
  • Anyone who never “grew up talking about money”
  • Misfits who want a financial life that fits
