About this listen
The number-one secret to financial freedom. There’s no better time to get started than right now…
Do you find yourself worrying about what you’re going to do once you get out of college?
How do you plan on paying off your student loans? And what about buying a house, getting a reliable car, starting a family, and entering the world of adulthood?
70 percent of college graduates enter the workforce with over $30,000 in debt. But this doesn't have to be you. You don't have to become part of yet another statistic.
Proper money management is the byproduct of a mindset shift. Your relationship with money is the foundation of your financial success, and with the right tools, techniques, and practices, you can achieve the monetary abundance you’ve always dreamt of.
In The Double Monetary Hourglass, you'll discover:
- How to establish a solid financial foundation, and why this will allow you to save, no matter how much money you are currently earning
- The number-one difference between rich people and poor people, and how you can become more like the rich
- The importance of investing before you save (and saving before you spend), and why many often seem to get this wrong
- 10 of the easiest ways to generate passive income and earn yourself some side cash while doing next to nothing
- The five best practices for using your money to make more money
And much more…
Being financially independent as you walk off that graduation stage is not a far-fetched fantasy. This is not a reality reserved solely for those who have very wealthy parents.
You can achieve financial success even while in school, and can carry this forward with you throughout the rest of your life.
You don't have to struggle to pay the bills just because that’s how it is for everyone else you know. You can become something more.
So If you want a life of financial comfort and ease, then you need this audiobook today!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critical strategies for young people
As a firm believer in financial responsibility starting in our younger years, this book knocks it out of the park. I just don't get why kids aren't taught about personal finance in school! Money matters are what we deal with in our everyday lives and to have a firm foundation on how to treat money is vital. The strategies shared in this audio book are timely especially for those in their earlier years as they start their careers and possibly work on chipping away at student debt.

A great guide to creating financial independence
It’s important to understand that this book is geared towards individuals with little money and shows how to turn them into a more significant sum. What I found the most helpful about this book is setting up a good emergency fund and investment budget for reinvesting into various opportunities so your money can grow over time in the safest way possible. The double monetary hourglass is a beginner-friendly book worth reading to achieve your financial freedom.

A head start for young adults!
As someone who has gone through the struggles of trying to become financially literate, I found this book to be an impressive resource.
The two main topics deal with the most pressing financial problems young people face, learning the skills to build wealth at a young age and dealing with debt from college or university.
The combination of education, practical strategies, and methods to generate income provide anyone with a path to improve their life. Highly recommended, this should be taught in schools!
