Mindful Money

Mindful Money is about putting finance in the context of life. We are about defining and taking the necessary steps to improve outcomes... & no more.
Money can be tough. If you struggle with money? You’re not alone.

Money is a means, not an end. It’s a necessity of life for sure, but more money does not guarantee a “good life”. Money enables many aspects of modern life, but if it becomes a dominant focus it can be destructive. 

The paradox is that more time and energy spent on personal finance does NOT create better outcomes. Unlike many other parts of life, we can’t create better outcomes by being smarter, spending more time, or putting in more effort.

Jonathan DeYoe is the founder of Mindful Money. He wrote the book, Mindful Money: Simple Practices for Reaching Your Financial Goals and Increasing Your Happiness Dividend, he has been a financial advisor for 25 years, and an investor for over 40 years. Jonathan has made a career out of helping artists, authors, and entrepreneurs (and others who focus on things besides money) mindfully minimize their need to think about money and get more out of life.

If you aren’t happy with your finances, feel like money takes more time that it should, or want to place your financial decisions into the broader context of your life, Mindful Money is for you. 

Whether it is learning the basics through a Mindful Money educational course, learning how to create your own DIY financial plan through our DIY Financial Planning course, staying on top of the regular nitty-gritty financial details with our Monthly Maintenance webinars, or keeping up with the Mindful Money Weekly, everything we do is to create better financial outcomes without spending a lot of time making money moves.

We consistently draw the line between the important activities that help families get ahead, and those extra efforts that sound helpful, but end up taking time and energy from life without improving financial outcomes.
