Are your money beliefs helping you make great financial decisions?

This guest blog was written by Chris Budd who wrote the original Financial Wellbeing Book, and also the Four Cornerstones of Financial Wellbeing. He founded the Institute for Financial Wellbeing and has written more than 100 episodes of the Financial Wellbeing Podcast.

Each of us has a set of beliefs, borne out of our experiences. Are these beliefs right? Are they helping us make great financial decisions?

Right and wrong

I recently saw a book review posted on X (formerly Twitter). The person reported they found the book to be inspirational and that it provided credible insight into the topic.

Scrolling down my feed, I came across another review, coincidentally for the same book. This reviewer thought the book was complete nonsense and they were annoyed that they had wasted their time reading it.

Who was right?
