Another strong dose of motivation

What Frankie’s books do best is make this personal finance stuff seem like a fun conversation rather than a dry college course. And since they are written from the perspective of someone that seems more like they could be a friend of yours, and less like a billionaire guru (…at least not yet), it’s easy to picture yourself putting these hacks into practice.

If you haven’t checked out his first book, The Money Resolution, do yourself a favor and buy that too! I enjoyed The Money Resolution so much that I jumped right into MYCHI and walked away feeling motivated and ready to learn more. And that’s what these books are really all about, making money seem less intimidating, more understandable, and motivating you to learn more.

I’ve always told people I didn’t care about money, but the truth is I just didn’t understand it, and it was easier to ignore it than confront my own fear And ignorance. If that seems like you, please read Frankie’s books!

Book Hack

Audiobooks are always special when read by the author. This one felt like a conversation over coffee. If you don’t want to invest the time to read the plethora of financial books available to us all, but want to gain a lot of knowledge to get you started in a short period of time, this one is for you. Frankie sums all things finance/investing up in a down to earth & humorous way. He also shares resources for you to dive deeper—a toe won’t be enough once you learn these simple truths! Life isn’t quite as easy as The Sims rosebud;1;1;1;1;1;1;1 endless money cheat code, but there are plenty of hacks well worth doing.

A Real Game Changer

This is an incredibly informative, enjoyable, and inspirational audiobook. I follow "The Money Resolution" channel on YouTube so really appreciated Frankie being the narrator. It was like I had a six-hour private consultation with him! I am already practicing many of the hacks covered in the book, so it was great receiving affirmation that I am on the right track with my financial goals. However, hack #1, #73, and #74 are a real game changer for me. I don't want to give them away so will just say that I have discovered my "why," correcting my "80/20" balance, and now focusing on my "25/5" list. The value of these three hacks alone are worth the cost of this book, 100X over. Seriously. I joined the FIRE movement in June of 2020 and pleased to report that I have established my FI-number and RE-date! This book and the amazing guidance offered by Frankie on The Money Resolution channel are a big part of getting me to this life goal. THANK YOU FRANKIE!
