I've read and listened to a lot of personal finance content for my work, most of which is the "same old shit." This book is different and very special. It's full of humor, earnest personal anecdotes, and passionate political takes. It frequently addresses topics you won't find in any other personal finance book: how to make life decisions when one choice closes off several alternative paths irrevocably, how to deal with handicaps and failure, choosing a spouse, and several common "brain game" fallacies, among many others. The author has skin in the game to discuss these topics as someone who retired early, homeschooled his own children using this curriculum, etc. Highly recommend.

This book is absolutely amazing! I wish there were a way for every single person in the world to read this book. I love how Stanley makes it SO important to DO something with your life, work hard, and be successful. Thank you Stanley!!!!! I love the Fred books, they help me SOOO much with my math, but this one is my all time favorite Fred book. I'd already decided what I wanted to do, but Fred and Stanley helped me further that, and it will be something amazing!

Parts of this book are silly because it follows our friend Fred that we read about in our math books, but the concepts are solid. I would recommend this for children, and adults alike.
