Not as advertised

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

Getting more confident with this book

This was a great book on living a minimalist lifestyle. The book is packed with money saving tips. Living minimalist has drastically reduced my stress.

Informative and simple to understand

I knew a lot of the things that were mentioned in this book, however I wanted to do some research. I enjoyed this book and finished it in 2 days. The topics were very simple and informative, any type of reading level could comprehend. It comes with PDF sheets for your convenience. Highly recommend if you are trying to cut some expenses and don’t know where to start.

Awesome!

This is an amazing audio book and I really enjoyed listening to it. I also learn so much from it.Thanks!

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.

Minimalist Living

This book has great information. For the first few minutes I thought the information was basic, but the further the book went on the more I learned from the suggestions the book offers. It’s worth listening too. I would especially recommend it to the college age audience who are developing their life habits.

Great Read!

I am not in debt but I did find her thinking and approach to be very helpful to saving and loving mindfully within your means.

It helps me to improve my life.

If you are looking for a deep comprehensive lecture about the minimalist budget this is absolutely the audiobook you are looking for. There are so many wonderful ideas in this audiobook. I love how they really break down the key components to living a meaningful life. Strongly suggest.

For high middle class overspenders

If you are upper middle class with lot of income that you mismange and overspend and need someone to tell you stop, this is you book, other wise move along.
For a wide part of people, being told to " just pay your full bells" and " debt is an issue of the mindset not money" is simply cruel and untrue, many people don't read this book to be told " just pay your dept" they want to know how on earth to do that..
Found it very frustrating.

Easy to listen and picked up some great tips

Really enjoyed the narrator. Easy to listen to. Also picked up some good tips which I will be putting into practice.

Direct , to the point , simplified so you can use it instantly

This book is just what needed with clear simpl to the point information that can be used every day by anyone
