You might have heard that money is the root of all evil. If you were listening very carefully you might have actually heard the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.

In a world that is market-focused and performance-driven, Mindful Money is goal-focused and planning-driven. Mindfulness, the non-judgmental awareness of the present moment, allows us to ignore the media driven emphasis on “beating the market” – something that is never predictable or controllable – and focus on simple, disciplined behaviors that have long-term impacts on our lives. With this approach, you will feel less anxiety, enjoy better financial outcomes, and earn your happiness dividend – the joy and satisfaction that comes from a life well lived.

“Let your Mindful Wealth Map be your personal finance decision anchor. When fear or greed grip you, or the desire for a new toy overwhelms your wiser self, your Mindful Wealth Map can remind you of what is important and bring you back to the trade-offs you SAID you wanted to make to get the outcomes you know are most important to you.” - Jonathan DeYoe
