Be Good with Money.

Michelle Arpin Begina's book, "Be Good with Money," offers a lifeline to those who feel financially hopeless. Begina shares her own financially traumatic experience and emphasizes the importance of financial education. She argues that America's obsession with wealth often leads to financial ruin due to a lack of basic financial education, poor long-term planning, and an inability to resist temptation. Begina provides "six transformational concepts" to help readers improve their financial management skills. The book is praised for its honest and refreshing style, as well as its ability to communicate complex concepts clearly. While it does not cover specific financial topics like tax planning or retirement, it serves as a starting point for readers to change their attitudes towards money and financial well-being.
