Meandering and repetitive

The author didn't appear to have enough material for an entire book. A couple of chapters are complete filler -- I wasn't looking for tips on decluttering the house. The rest offer repeatedly the same vague platitudes on the benefits of beating debt with very few concrete steps to accomplish this.

Great audiobook

Very quick and easy to understand. Great value, comes with PDF. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to start a budget and not knowing where to begin. Experiences not things.

Not as advertised

Wanted a book on Minimization methods.. instead this book was on budgeting. Not what I wanted.

very nice

pleasant narration. Encouraging voice.
some great to the point formulas shared, That was refreshing...ie; if you make 65k per year
you will need 1.5 mil to retire "comfortably".
(always consider relocation where the dollar goes much further too). just watch HGTV. lol

Very Dave Ramsey

This book was good but it basically is a mix of Dave Ramsey and Marie Kondo. It's worth listening to as a quick reminder of how to live simply.

Nice Minimalist Budget Audiobook

The book showed me how dependent i am on money.

The Audiobook showed me how dependent i am on money. Money that i “need” to pay for stuff that doesn’t add value to my life. Money that i know have to spend to pay off debt that i got into from things that didn’t really ad value to my life. Would defiantly recommend.

This audiobook instructed me to take a gander

This audiobook instructed me to take a gander at the manner in which I live in an unexpected way. It likewise demonstrated to me how subordinate I am on cash. Cash that I "need" to pay for stuff that doesn't enhance my life.
