The idea behind the bookMake your next move
Make your next move
a choice.
You can earn well and still feel unable to leave a job. The salary has grown, but so have the commitments around it. A lower-paying role might suit you better. An idea might deserve a year of your attention. Neither feels possible when the household needs every month’s income.
This book connects the work that will make your time more valuable with the financial decisions that will give some of that time back to you.
You may want to keep climbing. You may want to build something of your own or work at a different pace. The aim is to make those decisions with a clearer view of what your family will need.
Two abilities to build togetherYour career and your money
Your career and your money
belong in the same conversation.
Become more valuable
Build room to choose
beyond the next salary.
Connect your household’s savings and spending with the time available if income stops. Examine how recurring commitments, two incomes and lifestyle choices will change that room.
