A very good listen. Some bits very repetitive as the narrator keeps reading facts and numbers which go on for minutes and minutes!!


Would I recommend the book = YES

If only they would teach this kind of stuff in secondary schools

Such a good book! Definitely worth a read. It’s based on US financials but could easily be translated into UK terms by a decent Finacial advisor.

Life changing advice! Must read!

The moral of the story is ‘It’s never to late to get rich, but it’s easier if you start early’
Although hearing the figures and percentages was good, having a whole chapter at one point of figures being read out was a bit much for an audible.

It was good to hear facts, figures, & %s. Lots of ways to make realistic money.

There are few books that can really give you a clear step by step process to allow you to make a change or make an improvement in your life where u can see immediate effect. I got the book, listened to it through, listened again looked into different accounts, schemes etc. Set up my various pots for automated monthly savings and VOILA! Savings in an instant! So simple and so effective...

I also then listened to a couple of his other books... he's a lucky man that can basically use the same principles but changes the title of the book to give the same message. Thankfully he is articulate and to the point and conversational so he holds your attention well.

If you're struggling to get a hold of your money issues this book is a great help to get you started with immediate results!

So simple yet so effective

Content is great but the structure on audible needs solving. First book I’ve not seen the correct chapters labelled. This means that certain chapters can’t be skipped (I’m in UK and some advice is US specific). Also, for some reason, the narration includes reading out long numerical tables in full. It would be great if you could skip this (summary is given so not necessary).

Great Book - hard to skip unsuitable parts
