A little preachy, but definitely good advice given.

I really appreciated that this covered all of the little bits and pieces. While it was a lot of take it or leave it type information, I feel a little more confident in knowing how this is all supposed to go.

I got some great notes from this and it covered some things that I'd previously not given any thought to.

Has a lot of good general info but doesn't dive deep into anything too specific.

3,5/5*. Very good tips. Not pushy. Doesn't encourage you to spend without counting. Appreciated that!

Quite helpful, although some examples are antiquated.
