A little heavy

Not what I expected. A bit heavy on the religion.I didn't get much. Didn't bother looking up the pdfs. It heavy focus on how to give money to the church. I got lost on the finance part, it was 3rd factor of the book. Cute stories from people and psychology of spending. But being grown and honest about money is the truth many cannot face.

Author needs another reader

Great book but the author’s voice is very hard to listen to. I had to stop because it sounds like chalk in on chalkboard to me

Fasting is Spiritual

I am no stranger to fasting, but this is the first financial fast I have ever done in my life. I was pleased to learn that I wasn't too far off the mark when it comes to me finances, but it did make me think about my spending and where my dollars are going.

I did the fast as a challenge for my women's group. hopefully this inspires them to be more intentional about their money.

Thank you Michelle Singletary for this insightful book. I know it will help many people. I for one plan to do this at least bi-annually.

Blessings.

Good but could've been better!!

I like this book because it was teaching about learning how to say NO from the SHOPPING Malls. Also this book was from a biblical premise so I won't even dare to be critical. I just wish she would have giving ways to increase more income through different side hustles or develop HIGH INCOME $KILL$ for employment. I still say START SOMEWHERE and get this book.
