Spenditude: A Life-changing Attitude to Money

Rethink Your Relationship with Money

Most personal finance advice focuses on spreadsheets, budgets, and cutting back. Spenditude takes a different path. It starts with a simple but powerful idea: your attitude to money—your ‘spenditude’—determines your financial outcomes more than any budgeting app ever will. Paul Gordon and Janine Robertson use their years of experience in financial wellbeing to show you how to understand and reshape that attitude.

Why Habits Matter More Than Willpower

You will not find get-rich-quick schemes or guilt-tripping advice here. Instead, the authors explore the psychology behind spending. Why do we make impulsive purchases? How does the voice inside our head influence our choices? What lies behind our ‘why’? By addressing these questions, the book helps you uncover the root causes of money stress and replace them with healthier patterns.

Small Steps, Lasting Change

The core message is empowering: you do not need to overhaul your life overnight. Through relatable case studies and research-backed insights, Spenditude shows how incremental adjustments build momentum. You will learn to identify your current money mindset, manage risk without fear, and design a future that balances security with enjoyment.
