My Money, My Life, My Way: How to Recognize Financial Abuse in the Home, Recover Control, and Reclaim Your Independence

The Person Who Controls Your Money Controls Your Life.

Shouldn't That Person Be You?

Does a partner or relative manipulate you for financial gain?

Do they bully you into unwanted financial arrangements?

Have you lost money, property, trust, or confidence because of their actions?

Do you feel trapped and powerless because you depend on them for support?

Almost all couples and families argue about money because it's a natural, normal part of negotiating our wants and needs. But no one should use controlling or coercive behavior to violate your rights and freedoms.

If you've lost financial control and independence to someone else, you are likely a victim of financial abuse.

Monty Sandhu is a first-hand witness of the pernicious effects of financial abuse in the home. Let him show you how to recognize it, recover control, and regain your independence.

Financial abuse is the most unrecognized, unreported, and unchallenged form of abuse, and it can affect anyone. Victims aren't always aware of what’s happening when someone tries to maintain power and control over their access to financial resources. Even when they are aware, they’re usually too afraid or ashamed to talk about it. And if they do feel strong enough to reach out, they often don’t know who to talk to.

That's all about to change.
