Good Intro, But...

Personal finance is such an important topic, especially now as we have to look at our finances differently because of the current pandemic. Not that it isn't always important, but as jobs may be limited for us now and money may be tight, personal finance takes on a whole new meaning. Unfortunately, this book is little more than a brief overview of what you would probably assume to be personal finance topics like budgeting, saving, investing, and reducing expenses. The PDF ARC copy I received is only 33 pages in total. That means the author does not go into any depth on any of the topics. In fact, some (if not most) subtopics only get a paragraph or two. If you truly are a beginner looking to improve your personal finances, this book won't provide enough information to help you. It almost feels like each chapter is a separate blog post on a particular personal finance topic. If you are unsure of the parameters of personal finance and some standard general advice, this isn't a bad introduction, but it is in no way complete enough to truly help someone who wants to get their personal finances in order.

I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

As someone who has blown money all my life, this guide has been helpful in making me plan my finances better now that I want to be more sensible. Some of the information is pretty obvious, but it reminds you that you need to take the right steps in the right order in order for your financial future to be more successful.

Very nice and simple book about finances

I was aware of some of the tricks mentioned but it definitely gave me some bits of information I didn't know about. Worth reading, sets your mind in thinking the right direction about saving!

Nothing new, not engaging...

Nothing new, not engaging... Not actually good advise. Much better advise in similar books or even online. I do not recommended this book for beginners... Or adults...

Although a bit repetitive, this book is informative and a good place to start (as the title indicates) on one's journey to budgeting, saving, spending or building a nest egg. Enjoyed the lessons and learn how to budget.

Must Read Quicky

Simple, Quick, and to the point.
The best phrase is "Invest in yourself before anything and everything".
For a newbie, it's a must-read, and for an experienced person it is once in a half year read.
