I am in my mid 20s, I had been listening to Clark Howard for years about saving and investing and had planned last year to start saving for retirement so I would be set when that day came. However, due to the start of the pandemic it made me insecure about taking those first steps. This book helped re-kindle that fire for starting to invest again. I already had the information provided in this book but it would be great for someone who is new to finance to read. Either way I think this is a great book that highlights different financial and spending/saving personalities and shows how to improve in those areas. So if that is what you’re looking for I would recommend this book for you.
This is the book I would pick for someone new to investing who wants a basic primer on why and how to start investing. The kindle version treats the book like one long chapter which makes navigating more of a problem than it should be, but the content is top-rate and dispenses with much of the fluff found in many other personal finance books. Recommended.
If you're investing money already this book probably isn't for you. However, it's great for those wanting to organise their finances and have a crash course in investing.
Very good explanation of budgeting for the future. The story of three incomes and their comparisons was creative. Recommend while reading it is NOT a book on how to be successful but only some better choices on what your life travels offers to you.
