Some Gold Nuggets But Tons of Boring Fillers

Pros - some real gold nuggets in the first half of the book. The true amount you're earning from work factoring in recovery expense, transport, and clothes is pure gold. Some good tactical information early on as well.

Cons - Tons of fillers and boring ass stories. The audiobook could have been easily condensed to 1/4 its size. I was so mad that the author won't get straight to the point. It's boring story after another with respective boring chapter summaries. The second half of the audiobook was useless, I learned nothing from it.

I'd recommend the first half of the audiobook but the second half you can easily skip and you won't miss anything.

No right answers???

Overall I really enjoyed this book and I think there are some sound concepts and ideas that could be quite useful. My only real pet peeve was that at the end of every chapter the author asks a series of questions and then finishes up by saying “there are no RIGHT answers“. I think she really intends to say there are no WRONG answers, but It’s quite confusing. Why would I even attempt to answer a question if I know ahead of time that there are no right answers.

Best book ever

I recommend this book to every young adult. It will helps you with you financial situation
