This was one of the best money saving self help and debt self help ebooks that I have read.

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book I found very surprising to me and I have gained sound and meaningful advice because:

1) The author Devin D. Thorpe gives much insight on how to spend money wisely, how to be more frugal in the spending of money (how to effectively save money), how to save money on your car, what to know about car insurance and so much more!

2) Chapter 4 is called Your Home is Your Centerpiece of Your Family's Financial Future. In this super helpful chapter these wonderful points are made:
+ Why home ownership is so important.
+ 7 Tips for buying your own home.
+ 7 Tips to help you qualify for your first home.
+ 5 Tips to help you SAVE for a down-payment for a home - these are down to earth ways to save for this and get into a home quicker. Advice you could research, but nice to have in this book. And so much more like should you job commute 40 miles one way a day etc.
What a helpful chapter.

3) My favorite and best chapter in my opinion is chapter 7 called Getting Out of Debt. In this chapter there are 9 sections and each has excellent and helpful info such as: How do I know if I have too much debt?, **How having more won't make you happier, How to manage your credit cards and not be managed by them (super, super helpful section), Why are credit card debts so bad, and several more sections.
This chapter, Chapter 7 really explains ways to help one get out of debt in my opinion.

4) Love the author's wesbite familyshare. This website has special sections about saving money, health section, marriage section, personal growth, and more.

5) This was one of the best money saving self help and debt self help ebooks that I have read.

My score on this book is a solid 4.8 stars (rounded off the a 5 because of the decimal system). I would have clearly given it a full 5 stars IF it has a special chapter in this book about debt counseling websites.

Highly recommend this book!

This book does have some nice, practical tips for helping track and reduce spending and even begin saving. There are certainly tips that everyone can use, but much of this is common sense. Don't spend more than what you make. Don't have tons of credit cards. Buy used. Use coupons. Make a budget. If you are looking for some ideas on where to get started, this is a great comprehensive book that is going to give you that. The author gives practical straightforward tips that--IF FOLLOWED--can help you save some money, but don't expect this to be a get rich quick with no effort sort of thing that never works anyway. Even if you follow all the tips and go above and beyond, not everyone is going to retire a millionaire. It just doesn't work like that. But you don't have to work until you die just to pay off half of what you owe either.
I enjoy the straightforward way in which the book is written, but I did find quite a few stereotypes in the book regarding women and gender roles in marriage and the "typical" way to live your life and goals. That's great if you were lucky enough to have parents who set you up for success and lived in and upper middle class neighborhood and went to college with little to know debt, got a great job, then met your spouse, bought a house, and had 2.5 kids in a Leave it to Beaver neighborhood. But then you wouldn't probably be reading this book. An example is the section on engagement rings. If you are reading this book looking for financial tips, you probably shouldn't be looking at spending thousands on an engagement ring. The author then throws in a paragraph stating that men's rings are less expensive so the woman just has to make sure to pay off the credit card before the wedding. This is pretty stereotypical and definitely heteronormative. The whole section is really toned to imply that the bride to be shouldn't be with you to buy the ring, she shouldn't know how much it cost, and the man is responsible for the majority of the decision. All this is after a section about how the couple should work together to make financial decisions before the wedding.
Overall the book can be helpful, so I will give it 4 stars with the disclaimer that as with everything you need to take it with a grain of salt and figure out what is really feasible and applicable in your life and your situation.

I received this product at a discount for my unbiased review.

This might be a good read for someone just starting out in the financial arena but for someone with a few years of dealing with money the lessons presented evoked a "been there, done that" response. The information was a bit generic but I guess you can't be to specific when trying to reach a wide audience. Some of the advise I felt was just wrong like paying off your mortgage early. (Why make such an effort to pay of a loan that's costing you 2% to 3% after tax write off when you could be investing those funds to earn 6% to 8% long term?) It was an easy read and not totally uninteresting but if you really want to understand money and how it works and how it can work for you, read The Truth About Money by Ric Edelman. And get an independent, fee based financial advisor early on in life. In the long run you'll be happy you did. This book was just okay and there are a lot of better books out there on this subject. (But this was free) The Truth About Money 4th Edition

Should not be free

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

Do not be distracted by the fact that this book is free. Do not be distracted by the reviews submitted by people claiming that they intend to read or finish the book later or even admit to not reading the book but it was free. Yes the book is written for an American audience and some advice is not relevant. However, the book is powerful as a guide to how you spend your life, your money and who it affects along the way. I believe the author has a strong desire to spread wisdom rather than just make money from his book. The unfortunate consequence of this is that free things tend not to be valued.

So comprehensive is this book on the subjects of giving, saving and pulling together as I family that I would encourage YOU and everyone else I care about to read this powerful piece of work. Yes if you read that last sentence again I care about "readers". After all you didn't leave school with the attitude "that's me done with reading". I respect you for that and like most reviewers, I want to guide towards the books that best suit your requirements.

Keep up the reading. It WILL bring results.
