Books - CAPitalize Your Finances Podcast

Capitalize Your Finances is a great read, Chris makes the content easy to understand and enjoyable to read. Each chapter inspired me to improve the way I manage a specific area of my finances and his voice really shines through the pages as if he is telling you a story. There is a lot to be learned through the book and I would highly recommend this to anyone. I encourage readers to pause between chapters and think through how you can apply it to your life to truly "CAPitalize" this book!

With a title like Capitalize Your Finances, you’d think this was just another book about smart financial management. That’s just scratching the surface. Chris has written the missing manual and secret handbook to smart LIFE management. Written in a highly conversational style, you’ll feel like you’re sitting down with Chris in his office as he patiently walks you through everything in plain English. Everything about your life, your goals, your family, your future, your fears, your aspirations, and yes - of course - your money. Never have I read a financial book so smart yet so accessible and - dare I say - FUN. I’m not a “money person” but everything Chris shares and recommends makes total sense to me. Stop reading reviews and buy this book already. Your financial well-being and peace of mind are one click away. Chris gets my highest personal recommendation.

A great book! Chris has a special knack as a financial advisor to break it down with a practicality and humor that I frankly haven't heard much from folks in his profession. Chris is all about Capitalizing Your Finances and his book does an excellent job carrying the message forward. I’ve given the book to my 20-year old children to read because they NEED this information but don’t learn in school. And I’m not the best person to advise them—one of the reasons why I enjoyed this book so much!

CAPitalize Your Finances: The How-To Financial Framework That Takes You from Compoundingly Clueless to Monetarily Magnificent

Heralded as “well-researched, plainly written, and full of character” by the former CMO of E*TRADE, CAPitalize Your Finances is the refreshingly approachable go-to book for those who are looking for simple steps to take them above-and-beyond in their financial lives. Respected financial author, podcaster, and trusted wealth manager Christopher A. Panagiotu has crafted a book that avoids the ethereal hype of most financial “self-help” books — which, unfortunately, often deliver little more than momentary motivation (without practical tools), feel-good inspiration (without results-focused strategy), or entertaining stories (without regard for the reader’s story or financial goals). A stark contrast to those other books, Panagiotu’s book cuts straight to the heart of what you need to do to ensure your personal or family finances are top notch.

CAPitalize Your Finances offers an easy-to-understand framework that readers can follow during any season of their lives. Whether you’re just beginning to express interest and commitment to personal finance, at the pinnacle of your career, winding down into retirement, or thinking about your legacy for future generations, CAPitalize Your Finances walks you through every step you need to succeed — on your terms and with your own values and passions guiding you.

The How-To Financial Framework That Takes You from Compoundingly Clueless to Monetarily Magnificent
CAPitalize Your Finances is not for those who simply want to “get by.” This book is for those who are HUNGRY!
Are you hungry:

To go beyond the simple understanding of financial terms?
To figure out how to catapult your finances to the next level without feeling you’re being sold a “get-rich-quick” scheme or an empty bag of promised goods?
To finally feel competent and confident when a friend, family member, or professional colleague mentions a personal finance topic?

Motivation and inspiration are both temporary; CAPitalization is for life. CAPitalize Your Finances will cure your financial hunger. Follow the framework, and it will leave you satisfied and fulfilled.

Learn It, Use It, Become It
Christopher A. Panagiotu’s book is more than a “how-to” manual; it’s an invitation to a new mindset and to a new way of making decisions about your money. While Panagiotu is “the CAP” in CAPitalize, his mission is to turn you into a CAPitalizer too. The results of CAPitalizing will vary based on your age, your life stage, and your financial trajectory. But whether you’re starting with a pot of resources ready for better investment or a pocket that’s nearly empty (but full of potential), the result of learning to CAPitalize your finances can be incredibly positive. You choose which part of the framework is most important for you, right now.

Maybe you’re struggling to get out of debt. Great news — there’s an entire chapter dedicated to CAPitalizing Your Debt.
Maybe you don’t know the difference between a good or a bad debt. You guessed it: there’s a chapter dedicated to that too.
Maybe you have plenty of money but don’t know how to allocate it. It’s not unusual for CAPitalizers to be making more than they spend, and not know what to do with that extra money. Yes, there’s even a chapter for that (in fact, more than one!).

So, jump into the conversation with a practical, meaningful read for current or aspiring CAPitalizers from all walks of life. CAPitalize Your Finances brings a welcome energy, candor, and humor to big conversations tackled in a lighthearted way so you can unlock the possibilities of being “monetarily magnificent” in all the ways you have always dreamed.
