A few good aspects but there is better out there

There is some genuinely solid advice for transforming your relationship with your finances here although I suspect the extensive note-taking and graph-making would be too impractical for most readers to actually maintain over the long haul. In order to really get the most from this book you will need to fully commit to tracking your data. From my perspective, this text is overly long, very repetitive, and way too focused on American practices and systems.

The reading by the author was obviously impassioned but I found the accent grating after a very short amount of time and the frequent issues with delivery were quite distracting (e.g. there are a number of verbal 'stumbles' that you would have expected a decent producer to address).

It's not just about money

This book teaches you how you can change your life - not just with money! If you take the lessons wider, you'll see how you can transform other parts of your life you are unhappy with

Good book for those who have no control.

I enjoyed this book, I had heard a lot about it and was excited to listen to it.

I did find it quite repetitive and no new information for me. Although I have practiced a lot of these ideas from a young age. I did think of several people I know who should certainly read it as they have no control over their finances, and this book is ideal for that audience.

Overall I thought it was well written and plenty of excellent concepts, but felt like I spent several hours listening to things I already knew (so nothing against the author, I just didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would).

Great book to start for financial independence

Great content. Great starting point for financial independence or just to start your way out of debt. Not too much jargon.

Skip it and just listen to ‘Financial Freedom’.

I’ve read several FBI books and thought I better listen to what is considered the original by many people.

Despite the update, it still feels terribly old hat. The order the book is delivered doesn’t seem to make a whole lot of sense and I just can’t seem to get on Vickys wavelength.

must for all ages - Understand money in your life

multiple light bulbs moments throughout the book. clearly opens your mind to your relationship and lack of education about money in your life. wish I had learnt this 30 years ago, I would have 'enough' now. some useful tracking tools supplied as well.
