Very Basic Money Topics/Boring Reader

This book could have been 1/4 of the length. Very boring and the concepts were VERY basic. I learned two things 1. Life energy when it comes to money 2. Check out treasuries.

Fair

Perhaps good for the beginner but way too long for my taste. The last 2 chapters were decent.

Excellent.

The hype is real folks. I look forward to charting my metrics (income, expenses, savings) on a big graph.

I enjoyed it

It really helped me to reign in my impulse purchases and focus on other areas where I should spend that money by paying down debt. I had way too much lifestyle creep that I ignored for a few years. I was able to pay off my 30 year mortgage in 7 years off by being more intentional with both spending and saving.

A must if you're seeking financial freedom

I felt like I was seeing a financial psychologist, and was given a prescription of common sense and wisdom. Was well narrated by the author Vicki.
Highly recommend and a must if you're part of the FIRE Movement.

Great information on taking charge of your life

Holistic approach to prioritizing and implementing the life we all dream of having. I loved all the advice about valuing your time and your job and also creative ways of becoming financially independent. I feel so empowered to take on my life.

Mediocre at best

There are probably more relevant books nowadays. Unless you want recommendations like:

- go exploit a cheaper country than yours!
- become a scab! Companies love that and will get you promoted!

You can’t call yourself eco-conscious and at the same time advocate for the exploitation of poorer countries.

Also, it’s quite easy to live a FI lifestyle when you don’t live past your thirties.

Narrator sounds drunk

I wish there was a different more lively narrator. I’m interested in the contents but not the narrator
