Book Review: Faithful Finance ~ Emily Stroud


Faithful Finance is full of sound advice, written by a financial advisor, businesswoman, entrepreneur and full time mom. Sounds like a full plate, doesn't it? Thankfully, she has taken the time to write this book in both a conversational and to-the-point way. Emily lays out steps to help families be more empowered to tackle their current and future financial situations.

I appreciate that her topics are straight forward and applicable in many ways. Here are a few of the topics that I find most important: Create a budget and build up an emergency fund; Be a giver--generously and faithfully; Invest in retirement; Saving for college; Pay yourself first--start a savings plan. There are other topics as well--10 in all.

In this day and age of many feeling the need to have the newest iPhone, take on the highest mortgage a bank offers, etc., it is of utmost importance to take a step back and realize there needs to be a sound financial plan. Emily gives individuals and families a great starting point to get on track.
