Learn to control your finances and be proud

In this book, the author offers a wealth of practical insights and actionable strategies for anyone seeking to regain control of their finances and break free from the pressure to keep up with others. We all have been there and are likely still there where we are jealous of what other people have and oftentimes put ourselves in a position where we are trying to have what they have but in the end, we put ourselves in a deeper financial hole.

This book is great for anyone ready to focus on themselves and their finances. The author reviews the detrimental impact of comparing finances to others and how to overcome the destructive habit. One of my biggest weaknesses is avoiding marketing schemes that lure me in, so it was nice to see that the author covered this topic as well by learning to avoid and resist the influence of advertisers and marketers by enabling smarter purchasing decisions.

One thing I have been working on is learning to save my money, even if it's a small amount, but I had not quite learned what to do with those savings, and this book covers where to put your money so that you gain the benefit of compound interest. I like that the author included inspiring real-life stories of individuals who have achieved financial success by learning to prioritize their goals and stop chasing others' dreams.

In this book, your conventional beliefs will be challenged about money, and the book will equip you with the tools to make informed financial decisions so whether you are living paycheck to paycheck or seeking to enhance your financial well-being, this book offers invaluable guidance on your path to financial freedom.

Quit trying to impress someone!

This book is packed with up to date information on budgeting and financial advice. Reminds me of the book “the millionaire next door” but this one has new information and it doesn’t have so much numbers or statistics that the millionaire next door has. I am happy it is very engaging and is narrated in a way that it is easy to follow and understand. I love the part when it teaches you that millionaires are not the ones that drive the luxury cars or big mansions. These people you see are regular people buying sales and saving protecting their money. They don’t buy things to impress people but actually they put their mind to buying things that make them money. Very very true! I recommend this book to everyone. Stop 🛑 trying to impress people that don’t care about you 😉 and learn to be wise with your money

Interesting Book!

Interesting book on building financial awareness.
Through the development of healthy financial habits, anyone can transform their life, and take control of it, thus escaping the consumerist mindset.
This is the most powerful message contained in the book in my opinion.
Enjoyable and engaging narrative.

So much to learn!

For someone like me, living in the FOMO state way too often and spending money without second thoughts, this book was eye-opening. It explains creating wealth in a very understandable - and actionable! - way. For those who never saved money and are used to living paycheque to paycheque, and probably have given up on the idea of retiring one day, this audiobook is a must.
It gives us hope and all the tools to turn things around in our finances and it is up to us to put this knowledge to work. I know, I will! Thanks, Guy Edwards!

motivating

This stimulating book offers tangible instances and approaches. The writer's approach is direct and straightforward, making Guy's ideas effortless to comprehend. The book is also enjoyable, so it's not just a dull manual that states put away more and spend less.The significance and long term advantages of saving and discovering new ways to motivate you to postpone gratifications for later are demonstrated accurately.
