Financial books have drawn my attention lately.
Specifically, I’ve been looking for simple structures to help people understand and manage money.
That search led me to Your Journey to Financial Freedom by Jamila Souffrant.
It’s a practical, easy-to-read guide that covers the basics and more.
One of the book’s standout features is the concept of the 5 “Journeyer” stages.
Each stage reflects a different point in your financial journey.
And each calls for a different approach to how you handle money.
Whether you’re getting out of debt.
Saving your first $1,000.
Or working toward early retirement.
This book meets you where you are.
My Take
I enjoyed this book and found myself wishing it had been available when I was younger.
It lays a strong foundation, especially for those who feel overwhelmed or unsure of where to begin.
Souffrant offers real options without judgment.
She makes it clear that financial freedom doesn’t require a one-size-fits-all path.
There’s a balance between discipline and enjoyment.
Acknowledging that progress doesn’t mean you can never indulge.
It’s thoughtful, practical, and motivational.
Why It Matters
Many of us were never taught how to manage money.
This book fills that gap.
It’s ideal for someone just starting out.
However, even if you’re further along, it’s a solid reminder to check in with your habits and goals.
If you’ve been thinking about your finances, or feeling stuck, this is a great place to start.
The journey to financial freedom doesn’t have to be lonely or complicated.
This book gives you a roadmap and reminds you that it’s okay to be a work in progress.
