I wanted to like this but...

I feel like this would have made a better book if the author had researched how the majority of people actually live, not based on their more charmed lifestyle where they have much more financial options to get ahead. The author speaks from a place of having savings already in place, a double income family, a high salary, a circle of high income earners and a financially supportive family. For most people who are looking to improve their financial life, it's not that they are bad at managing decisions as suggested but often are in the same cycle of underearning which is much more common in Canada with such a low minimum wage. I felt like I could not relate at all to any of the authors stories of their husband having an elite car or the option to live comfortably off of their husbands income to happily make spinach cakes all day for their new baby. Or their friends hiring a cleaning person. I really felt this person was clueless how the working class lives and is struggling to have those same options let alone basic ones. I was hoping for something inspirational, some money mindset transformational advice or step by step process of how they got to where they are from the bottom or some missing puzzle pieces. But, it felt more like this person already had all the puzzle pieces in hand rather than earning them through struggle.

This book was fantastic. Not boring or hard to get into. If you need a good book to get you slowly interested in finance, this is it

Wow. Juste wow!

C'est vraiment agréable d'écouter la personne qui a fait le livre audio. Ça se voit qu'elle aime ce qu'elle fait.

J'adore apprendre les finances et les investissements. Alors c'est sûr que j'ai acheté le livre. Je marche très longtemps et souvent dehors. En plus j'apprends plein de choses.

C'est pas juste d'avoir écouté le livre. Mais aussi d'appliquer les concepts. Sinon ça ne donne rien du tout.

J'ai tellement ri durant l'écoute de ce livre. Les gens ont dû trouver que j'étais fou.

Je lui souhaite bonne chance avec son MOFO. Pauvre elle.

J'espère qu'elle va continuer à écrire des livres. C'est vraiment incroyable le savoir qu'elle partage.

A nice read

READ IT

Really really enjoyed this, which is quite something to say about a “finance” book! 😂 this is like an informational pep talk that makes you feel like you can do anything. Nice to read something Canadian too.
