Being in the Plus. A New Approach to Personal Finance

Money slips through our fingers, salaries run out before the month is over, and just looking at the bank statement makes us feel sick. Sound familiar? You are not alone – millions of people live in financial chaos despite mountains of read books and downloaded personal finance apps. The issue is not a lack of financial knowledge or discipline.

The problem runs deeper: standard recommendations do not take into account that we are people, alive, with our fears, habits, and inner contradictions. Anastasia Veselko, a personal finance expert, wrote a book not about formulas and tables, but about the real reasons that prevent us from managing our money. Why are we afraid to look at our bank statement? Where does the shame for spending come from? Why do we act against our own interests, even when we know what we should do? 

This is an honest conversation about money as a part of life – with all its complexities and contradictions. Instead of unattainable ideals – support, acceptance, and real steps that will help us move from chaos to a stable, calm financial system.
