Great review!
Nice to know that although it is geared for young adults (which I haven't been for decades), that there are pointers for other age groups as well. Glad you enjoyed the book!

I think it is wonderful the author wrote the book for young adults. Schools do not teach enough of financial responsibility. Thanks for the excellent review!

A book that teaches finances and budget sounds helpful. It is good that the author not only provides a thorough guide for better money management, but he also gives examples of budget plans. That the book was self-edited despite some minor errors is to the author's credit. Not for me, but I am glad you found it helpful. Thank you for the review!

I agree with the author that passion and purpose are two driving factors towards financial freedom. However, there are cases where both elements are present yet the expected isn't achieved. Nonetheless, it's worth a try. I also like her format of writing down goals, potential obstacles and likely ways of tackling the roadblocks. Thanks for the lovely review.

Thanks for the insightful review.
I am interested in reading this book to learn and gain financial independence. This nonfiction book is full of financial advice that can be applied if a person is passionate enough to gain the benefits.
Congratulations on being BOTD 💐💐👍🏻👍🏻💐💐.

Passion and purpose are the author's keywords. They apply to many aspects of life, not just financial independence. How wonderful to have an empire, but I'll be happy with a small place in the sun.

I have always enjoyed books that include the author's experiences as well. In this way, the book stops being just theoretical and becomes practical. Thanks for the wonderful review.

Financial independence is an important part of life. Unfortunately, it's not stressed as much as it should be. I like that this book is targeted to young adults but that it is also relevant to an older audience. I also like that the author uses personal experience to demonstrate her point.

It was an excellent read and provided good financial advice. I would certainly recommend this book to young adults since I believe they could learn a lot from it. I also think anyone who is struggling financially would benefit from reading this book. However, this isn’t the best choice for someone who finds finances boring, or is simply not interested in guidebooks.
A nonfiction book filled with financial advice sounds an interesting read for fans of the genre. I am not the target audience, though. However, glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the review!

Today's BOTD is a guidebook that stems from the author's journey to financial freedom. She urges readers to prepare for the future by adopting valuable skills like saving and budgeting. Her straight to the point tone will appeal to a variety of people.

I read the sample pages of this today, and I found myself thinking this book seems geared more toward the young versus an older person. However, like you stated here, this book seems to be written in a very reader friendly way so that the flow of it is appealing and doesn’t seem so heavy. Great job on this review. I have read so many of these types of books that I am just not interested in investing more energy into another right now. Your review was nice to have so I could see a little bit further into what the book entails. Thanks so much for the additional information.

I am not an admirer of either the self-help books or the financial advice books. So I will pass on this one. Anyway this seems a good book and congratulations on being BOTD
