Discover Financial Serenity,
Make Work Optional, and
Live Happily in Retirement


You’ve worked hard to become financially successful, but you still feel frustrated. Unfortunately, rising inflation, rampant consumerism, and the growing length of retirement make this scenario all too common.

A million dollars just isn’t what it used to be. How can you finally stop worrying and begin enjoying the fruits of your success?

Why do some people effortlessly achieve financial success, yet others never do?

In Spiraling Up, financial planner Steven Medland lays out a deceptively simple plan to confidently grow and protect your wealth. Through clear and compelling real-life stories, he illustrates the proven principles that lead to financial serenity, making work optional, and living happily in retirement.

So, how do you create the virtuous cycle that leads to spiraling up financially? This book gives you the secrets that informed investors use to achieve financial freedom and retire with confidence. They will work for you, too.


Financial serenity is a state of mind

As shown in the pyramid below, our goal is to move upward from the base toward financial serenity, which is living in a state of financial abundance, gratitude, and tranquility. Financial security, financial independence, and financial freedom are all external, while financial serenity is internal.

The first three levels are defined by numbers that show up in your bank account, investment statements, and financial records. Financial serenity, on the other hand, is something you feel. Pure and simple, it is a state of mind.

From the book’s Introduction

The Seven Principles of Financial Serenity

We all have unique values, which are things in life we consider important. Principles are internal rules that serve as a link between our values and our actions. This book develops the seven principles of financial serenity to serve as beacons, allowing you to live in accordance with your financial values and achieve your financial goals. The seven principles of financial serenity are:

One: Focus On What You Can Control
Two: Accept That Wealth Is a State of Mind
Three: Cultivate a Growth Mindset
Four: Understand Your Personal Financial Statement

Five: Use Debt Wisely, and Pay It Off
Six: Develop Good Financial Habits
Seven: Manage Risk

Following these principles has a compounding effect. When we make good financial decisions, big or small, it leads to improved circumstances. Those improved circumstances lead to better opportunities, and those better opportunities open the door to even more beneficial financial decisions, resulting in the virtuous cycle of spiraling up.
