practical & relatable approach!

With clear, actionable steps, it demystifies budgeting, saving, and investing, making these intimidating tasks more manageable. The author, a financial services expert, combines relatable stories with sound advice, guiding listeners through overcoming debt, building an emergency fund, and working toward financial independence.

Essential for Financial Independence

This book broke down complex financial concepts into manageable steps. I especially appreciated the practical tips for saving and managing debt. Since following the advice, I’ve started to get a handle on my finances and feel more confident about my financial future.

Budgeting Guide

Managing money was one of my struggles when I was younger, and it was something that I was never taught in school. With the audiobook, I feel confident about setting achievable financial goals and creating an emergency fund. I know saving money for an emergency is essential because if something happens to me, how can I take care of myself with no backup plan? I am glad that this audiobook brought some real-life examples, so it can help me understand why it's essential to save money; also learned about credit cards, loans, and some stocks. I wouldn't say I like having a lot of credit cards because that can tempt me to spend more than I can afford. It charges you a lot of interest, and paying them back is hard. I am happy I bought this audiobook for my future reference.

Educational!

This is an excellent book for young adults who need guidance for budgeting. This is essential, as it sets young adults up for life in these easy-to-follow, inspiring action steps to create the habits needed to reach financial goals.

A Game-Changer for Young Adults

The real-life examples helped me understand how to apply the concepts, making it a valuable tool for managing my money better.

Spot on financial tips for really anyone

I found this book to be spot on and full of sound financial principles that can help anyone who is learning better budgeting and overall financial stability. I am a CFO of a medium sized business and I can honestly say that if young adults will follow the principles in this book they will be on solid ground financially for the rest of their lives!

A Blueprint for Financial Success

What i like about Mastering Money by Chris Scotti is that it is an outstanding guide for young adults navigating the often-confusing world of personal finance. The book has balance between practical advice and relatable anecdotes, making topics like budgeting, saving, and debt management accessible. Chris Scotti uses a step-by-step approach to creating a personalized budget and tackling student loans or credit card debt is both encouraging and actionable.

Useful budgeting guide

A good starter guide to finances for late teens and young adults. The essential topics are covered beyond just budgeting, such as student loans, investing, handling debt, and more. I think an asset in this book is tackling mindset and focusing on shifting your mindset to achieve your financial goals. It encourages a sense of deliberateness with your choices, and having a plan that if executed will lead to success with achieving those goals. This audiobook is a good jumping-off point to get a comprehensive overview of the basics, with language that isn’t too heavy/boring.

Breaks concepts down so they make sense

This book goes beyond tips and tricks— it guides you through creating a budget that actually makes you feel like "I can do this" and setting realistic financial goals, and even finding ways to increase income through side gigs. I appreciated that the advice wasn't one-size-fits-all; it’s designed to grow with you as your financial knowledge and goals evolve. The author acknowledges the apprehension many of us feel about investing or planning for big financial goals like buying a home, and breaks it down in a way that makes those steps feel less intimidating.

From Paycheck Panic to Money Mastery

Just finished this audiobook and wow, where was this when I landed my first real job? It's like the money talk I wish my parents had given me, but way less awkward. The budgeting advice is actually doable - I'm not living on ramen, but I'm also not blowing my whole paycheck on weekend fun anymore. It's helped me tackle my credit card debt without feeling like I'm missing out on life. If you're tired of pretending to understand 401ks at happy hour, this listen will get you sorted. Adulting just got a whole lot easier!
