I listened to this audiobook with my two teenage boys on a long road trip, and I'm so glad we did. This audiobook provided a clear and engaging introduction to personal finance, making complex topics easy to understand.

My boys were immediately hooked and couldn't wait to finish listening. One of them was so excited about what he learned that he couldn't wait to get home to start applying some of the concepts. He even subscribed to several investing advice YouTube channels!

Keep it simple, keep it growing

Prosper Press has delivered exactly what I wished I would have listened to growing up so that I could have properly learnt to invest my money, save, and budget, instead of wasting it (I could have bought so many stocks instead of video games LOL!). My fave thing I got from this title was that it helps the listener pay attention to something I had not come across is similar books in the past: the idea to control our EMOTIONS when making purchases. Something SO important that is so overlooked. If we can control our emotions then we can be budget more, and if we can budget more then we can save more, and if we can invest more then we can invest more! It’s a chain that has massive compounding effects. It all starts in the mind. This is an excellent title for not only newbies to saving, budgeting, credit, and more, but most middle aged people I know could do with listening to this too lol.
