good information

I knew most of the information in this book before I had listened, but I found the book to be engaging and a good reminder of what are the big focus points on my finances.

Not recommended

Halfway finished, this is for children, or high school.
Are you over 12y, don't wast your time.

Great read

Grab the dream is better than a Harvard Diploma. It’s one of the best explanations I’ve ever got on insurance, taxes, Wall Street and so much more. I’m definitely getting a hard copy to consume all this goodness once again.

fantastic book and life-changing help for anyone

Outstanding book explaining very well how to manage your income, no mater how large or small it may be and the secret to becoming wealthy.

Basics into financial management

If you are clueless on how to manage your money, then go for it. It's structured around our lives and how to save long-term. If you're able to plan your money long-term skip it, unless you want a repetition of what you already know.

Basic start to a fincial plan

If you have 0 understanding about money this is for you. If you are looking for advise to grow your money and have your money work for you this is not your book.

Good for beginners and intermediate

I am not brand new to the finacial independence concept but I am far from an expert. This book had things I wish I would have known about years ago we I began my journey to finacial independence. It also gave new a few new ideas I didn't think about before. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to improve thier finacial situation, whether you are already on the right track or not. Worst case scenario is you get reaffirmed that you are on the right track. Best case is you learn something that improves your situation.

Time well spent

I'm on a continuous journey to learn more about generational wealth, so the more I learn the more I can share with my family. This is a great addition to that journey. Thank you for writing this book and sharing your knowledge.

really liked it

I found it very entertaining and will be getting 2 copies for my young songs, I wish I would have read this 30 years ago, would have done alot of things differently.

Overall Good Read

This book had a lot of really good information. I would strongly recommend for someone just starting out in life or someone looking to turn around their financial situation. If you already have your financial house in order, you will likely have heard most of the information before.

With that said I did pickup some nuggets of information like new ways to leverage an HSA, Trusts etc.

There is a nice summary at the end of the book that outlines the contents, but save that for last, and listen to the details.

The author / narrator has a pleasant and light way of presenting the information.

inflation

Very good content, but he doesn't mention nothing about inflation which is very important to make this long term decisions. A bit disappointing .
