Good book for financial guidance especially at a young age

Really enjoyed this book. Learnt what to do and what not to do. Drove me to some changes in my financial life before I could even finish the book.

I will be listening to it again

THE BEST personal finance book out there!

This is by far the best personal finance book I have ever bought on Audible! It was read by the author too. I love how she broke down the basics - all the things one needs to know. The tone of the book is very empowering and supportive! The message is consistent with the Clever Girl Academy courses and her podcast - Clever Girls Know. It's very easy to read - I also downloaded it on audible. This is a book I will continue to reference as I work through getting my finances in order. In addition to the action items, she also lays out tips and options for accomplishing each task. She does a great job of not only telling you how to take charge of your finances, but also sharing examples and offering choices.

She literally takes you by hand and shows you how to win at your personal finance! It's very clear that personal finance is not a one size fits all - Bola offers various methods for achieving success in the area of debit payoff, budgeting, saving, investing, getting organized, and so much more. My favorite part of the book was when she talks about how she achieved $100,000 in savings over 3 years! Which makes it less daunting after reading how she accomplished this.

I also really enjoyed the section on Investing. I had steered clear of investing outside of my 401k for a very long time, because I found it so intimidating - Bola does a great job of defining key terms and then offering tips for how I can get started.

Although she wrote the book for women, everyone can definitely benefit from it! Also makes a great gift :)

Thorough!

Great job writing, narrating, and educating! Bola is very thorough, clear, and concise which I love.

Love it!! This book changed my mind

This book came at a perfect time for me. Not only to stop me for being afraid of personal finances but cheer me up to start to invest soon. I highly recommend it!

Too long

It was boring. You could get to the point faster. I mean you lost my attention .

Dave Ramsey with Kindness

All the same principles that Dave Ramsey teaches without the “all or nothing, cut up your credit card or else, in your face” approach that Dave is known for. Bola is knowledgeable, realistic, thorough, and kind, with the same goal to help people get out of debt, have financial freedom, and build wealth. I also appreciate her female perspective including some tips on how to negotiate a salary (from a female’s mindset). Great finance book.

Growth

This book has helped me refocus and understand my finances better,I am looking forward to starting a new life more secure.

Excellent book

This is an excellent book, it’s not difficult to read , there is no fluff to it, it’s very much to the point.

Great book with tons of actionable items

At the beginning of the book I didn't think I was going to like it because I thought it was just going to be a motivational and inspiration book similar to others I've read in his genre. But in reality the book is extremely concise and has an incredible amount of actionable items. Definitely a single source book that you can use for your financial journey.

Great beginner's finance book

Great reminder of the fundamentals. Lined out well. Loved the emphasis on getting into the right mindset as a foundation to reaching any goal. Would recommend to anyone as a first finance book.

Good info, not all relevant to the uk sadly.

very easy listen
Great content, so important for women.
sadly not all uk relevant. Would love a version that was.

informative

I picked this book up after attending a Female Invest webinar to start getting ahead on my finances after a recent job-loss, with the only work available nearby and it looking like I might have to do some short term college classes to brush up on my digital skills, the money I have coming in needs to work a bit harder. Not only that, I want to position myself into a better place to help my family thrive later on, so that means tackling down debt, building a better credit score and nurturing some side hustles to form some new income streams.

I found this book very helpful.

brilliant

this was recommended by a friend and I'm so glad I bought it. really useful information for someone who is starting from scratch

Good and interesting

It has plenty of information that can help with you girls and also makes you think more in depth.

A definite must have

loved it and will be reading it over and over again 😍 So glad I bought it wish I had it sooner.

A Must Read: Financial Freedom at Its Best

A step by step guide on how to achieve financial freedom at any level. Thanks Bola

Excellent financial advice for today's woman

I follow Bola on YouTube and Instagram, and am so happy that she has put her knowledge into this wonderful audio book (and hardcopy book).
The book is full of excellent financial information, which is beautifully read by Bola, and perfect for its target audience - women - using relatable examples (men will definitely benefit from reading/listing to this book too).
Thank you, Bola!
