About this listen
Quit wasting your money on useless things you don't need or can't afford to impress people who don't even matter. Are you tired of living paycheck to paycheck and constantly feeling the pressure to keep up with the Joneses? Do you find yourself constantly struggling with debt, despite working hard and earning a decent income?Don't you wish you could stop being such an impulsive spender and actually feel in control of your finances?
Consumer culture has got everyone caught up in a vicious cycle of buying overpriced junk you don't need to impress people you don't even like. It's time to snap out of it and take control of your finances before it's too late. This book is a straight-up, no-BS guide to escaping the chokehold of consumer culture, so you can focus on what truly matters and live the life you've always dreamed of.
Here is just a fraction of what you’ll discover inside:
- The pitfalls of trying to keep up with the Joneses, and how it's ruining your finances.
- How advertisers and marketers make you feel like you're missing out, and trick you into buying things you don't actually need.
- The impact of saving, even if it's just a little bit, as soon as you can.
- Easy-to-follow steps for creating a budget that works for you, not against you.
- The incredible power of compound interest, and how you can use it to your advantage.
- Why $1000 today is worth more than the same amount a year from now.
- The key characteristics of millionaires–do you have what it takes to join their ranks.
- Common misconceptions about the rich–and the truth behind them.
- The right way to start investing, and what to consider before taking the plunge.
- How to retire with a seven-figure nest egg (the way actual millionaires do it).
- The trap of lifestyle inflation, and how to keep your spending in check even as your income grows.
- Real-life stories of average people who became millionaires by beating the Joneses at their own game.
And much more!

While there are no bad kids, more often than not, there are also no bad parents. Where parents tend to go wrong lies in their discipline methods. Poor behavior from kids can drive any parent crazy, but reacting based on emotions can be the worst foundation for discipline. So why not try a different approach?

We are seeing more women in the workforce than ever before, but despite reaching high-paying successful positions, women struggle with growing their wealth and maintaining finances. Most of the time, this struggle stems not from the inability to monitor and budget the money; rather, it originates from the lack of education and recourses that are available for young women or women in general. For some, financial education might be Everest, but even the most dangerous mountains can be conquered with the right information, patience, and resilience.

This book is great for anyone ready to focus on themselves and their finances. The author reviews the detrimental impact of comparing finances to others and how to overcome the destructive habit. One of my biggest weaknesses is avoiding marketing schemes that lure me in, so it was nice to see that the author covered this topic as well by learning to avoid and resist the influence of advertisers and marketers by enabling smarter purchasing decisions.
One thing I have been working on is learning to save my money, even if it's a small amount, but I had not quite learned what to do with those savings, and this book covers where to put your money so that you gain the benefit of compound interest. I like that the author included inspiring real-life stories of individuals who have achieved financial success by learning to prioritize their goals and stop chasing others' dreams.
In this book, your conventional beliefs will be challenged about money, and the book will equip you with the tools to make informed financial decisions so whether you are living paycheck to paycheck or seeking to enhance your financial well-being, this book offers invaluable guidance on your path to financial freedom.

This stimulating book offers tangible instances and approaches. The writer's approach is direct and straightforward, making Guy's ideas effortless to comprehend. The book is also enjoyable, so it's not just a dull manual that states put away more and spend less.The significance and long term advantages of saving and discovering new ways to motivate you to postpone gratifications for later are demonstrated accurately.
