blerrrrgh. ok, while conceptually, i truly appreciate the approach to PF education through a story instead of dry chapters of bullet points and commands, the writing is cringe-worthy throughout and i really resented the representation of a semi-clueless 20-something woman needing to have PF basics mansplained to her by this semi-mythical old dude, resulting in her reactions of "wow!" a few too many times.

do better.

Loved this book! The process Zoey goes through with her finances is so similar to my story and navigating your daily responsibilities and your passions. David makes it simple to understand the fundamentals of finances and compound interest. This will be a yearly read for me!

Some of the principles I'm familiar with already but overall a good read for people looking to develop better money habits and make better financial decisions.

Great starting point for those looking to take control of their financial situation and understand it on a high level. Great for people with no finance or business background.

Super easy read. They made finance easily accessible for women but also managed to be patronizing at the same time!! 😂😂

Plays into a repeated stereotype too much; young woman not great with fiancés struggling to figure it out while successful older man offers tidbits of advice. Bones of good advice are there, but honestly it’s tasteless in how it’s carried through the book

I liked how the author explained how to build wealth through a simple narrative. This was a quick read and left me feeling inspired.
