Rob does an excellent job of breaking down sometimes daunting topics into easily digestible nuggets. A very enjoyable, enlightening listen.

Nicely done!

Great contents, well detailed and very informative. This book mostly targets the younger crowd but also has great insights for everyone.

Excellent personal finance book!

This book is the condensed version of the Dough Roller podcasts. It is essentially his podcast of how to build wealth on any income, 7 level of financial freedom, 4 pillars of investing, and many other of his podcast that I can’t remember the titles to, but Is saved on my podcast! I could just say skip the book and listen to his podcast but this book summarized the best of his podcast into a book! I loved how Rob explained his philosophy of investing and saving and make you think as a true investor would instead of some gospel of rules that don’t apply to everybody. I highly recommend this to anybody who want financial freedom at any age.

The only money you need

I really loved this book, it’s a one stop read for everything money. I’ve read and listened to countless books on money and this book is the most well rounded.

Financial freedom in a nutshell!

I highly recommend this book if you are trying to set yourself on the path to financial freedom. Rob does a great job of putting things in perspective and backing it up with the data. I started on the path late in life so already had a good base to work from but I learned a lot more and found there are some things I can work on. Well worth the read.

Excellent Read

The book is written in a conversational tone. Gives easy advice to follow. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in taking control of their financial life.
