In The Two Sides of Every Dollar: The Hidden Teachings of How Money
Shapes Your Life, author Matthew Miller invites readers into a story-rich
journey that explores how money does more than pay the bills—it reveals
what we value, how we live, and who we’re becoming. Blending personal
insight, professional experience, and spiritual reflection, Miller unpacks the
“5U’s” of money—generosity, saving, spending, debt,
and taxes—as a framework for understanding how our daily choices with
money impact every area of life.
With transparency and depth, this book challenges readers to move beyond
surface-level budgeting and step into a more intentional, holistic approach to
financial and personal growth. Whether you’re navigating marriage,
career, leadership, or legacy, The Two Sides of Every Dollar helps you
recognize the ways money shapes your story—and how to make that story
count.
Matthew Miller is the CEO and Co-Owner of Awaken Wealth Partners, an
investment advisory firm, that operates as a Fiduciary, based in Houston,
Texas. Before entering the financial world, Matt spent nearly 15 years in
manufacturing, where he developed a strong foundation in business and
leadership. When the opportunity came to apply that experience toward helping
others build meaningful futures, he jumped in with purpose.
A proud native Texan and graduate of Texas A&M, Matt is a devoted father
and passionate follower of Jesus. He also enjoys art, he’s a loyal friend, and
an avid golfer who enjoys a good challenge both on and off the course.
