Blank check anyone?
I purchased this back in 2022 and loved it. I wanted a refresh and so I bought the audio cause my mind can’t always read anymore.the authors actual voice and the narration was not to my liking.
It was interesting but hard to apply concepts
In 2025, this book is outdated (again). It was an interesting read, but nothing I haven’t heard before. I’ve read other money books. I found two things to be difficult to put into my real life. The first is the computation of life’s stresses & activities into dollars spent against real income. I’m sure the result would be sobering for most of us. The second is the inability to access a working document that
helps the reader list & document life’s spending and details. The PDF is shared here, but there’s no way to actually use it for myself.
Appreciate the Focus on the Psychology of Consumerism
Pretty light on statistics related to impact of financial health on happiness. There’s much new research here that is ignored in the book. Would have also appreciated the author (publisher?) investing in a professional narrator. Ultimately, this is pretty basic personal finance fare. Almost all of the tips are easily located online across a variety of FI/RE blogs. I think it’s also important for authors of personal finance books to fully disclose how they achieved financial independence. If I recall, the author and her partner were lucky enough to have invested in the boom years of the bond market. So pretty niche path to FI, really, that was significantly dependent on right place right time. We won’t see those days again. Ever.
