What's my rating for "Broke Millennial"?
I gave the book a 4 out of 5 Rockstar rating.
Author Erin Lowry chose her audience well and never deviates from it. Those most likely to heed the messages in this book are young, broke students or post-secondary graduates with some debt (student loans and possibly other consumer debt) who are facing a still lukewarm entry-level job market.
Read MoreWhat's my rating for "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People"?
I gave the book a 5 out of 5 Rockstar rating.
In attempting to give myself a refresher on The Seven Habits by leafing through the book, I easily let myself get sucked back into reading the whole book…for a third time.
Read MoreWhat's my rating for "Early Retirement Extreme"?
I gave the book a 4 out of 5 Rockstar rating.
Jacob is the real deal. He doesn’t tout himself as an expert, just as someone who has a thesis to share that he thinks might be of value to others. He’s an ordinary guy (with a Ph.D. in physics) who stumbled upon the pursuit of an extremely early retirement in the most simple way possible: by questioning the logic of the status quo. His thought process makes me think I’d greatly appreciate the opportunity to have a conversation with him someday.
Read MoreI’m all decked out and it makes me feel so good!
No. I’m not talking about my clothes or my hair and makeup.
I’m talking about something that makes us feel even better because we do it once and it looks good on us for a very long time. That something is the look of satisfaction for a job well done.
Read MoreWhat's my rating for "Happy Money"?
I gave the book a 5 out of 5 Rockstar rating.
I loved, loved, loved this book. The content focuses not so much on making more money but on spending what we do make more wisely. What’s wise? Maximizing how much happiness we get out of every dollar.
Read MoreWhat's my rating for "Think & Grow Rich"?
I gave the book a 5 out of 5 Rockstar rating.
"Think & Grow Rich" is one of the few books I’ve read many times. To say it offers significant value for the money is an understatement. The author covers so many topics so densely, the material requires us to chew on the ideas and concepts presented, sometimes repeatedly.
I also find the book is effective in eliciting both reflection and action on the part of the reader. I dare anyone to say they’ve read this book and changed nothing in the way they think and/or live their lives.
Read MoreHey there F2P readers! I’m pleased to say that my post for today is featured over at Budgets Are Sexy (BAS), a blog I’ve enjoyed reading because of the author's (J. Money) unique take on money, saving and life.
It's about a secret power, one of them at least, that I want to share with you because I think it's one that we can all benefit from. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Read MoreWhat's my rating for "The Way We're Working Isn't Working"?
I gave the book a 5 out of 5 Rockstar rating.
It’s an amazing book! Schwartz has done his research and has had a direct hand in helping us learn what leads to great performance. The result of all that effort is this fantastic book, which contains what he’s discovered and has applied in his own life. I could not put it down and found myself saying “YES!” out loud on numerous occasions.
Read MoreAnother year of reading has flown by! For those of you die hards who wait for my updated reading lists, I've moved from quarterly updates to an annual summary now that I have a "Reads and Reviews" (aka "Books") section in the top navigation bar. There, you can view my reading list to date, past years' reading lists and the image of all books read since April 2013, aka the F2P "Wall of Books".
From April 2016 to March 2017, I've managed to read, and learn from, a total of 70 books. That's 287 in total since becoming truly free to pursue.
Read MoreWhat's my rating for "Unshakeable"?
I gave the book a 4 out of 5 Rockstar rating.
Tony Robbins writes books that sell. Not only because of his name and reputation, but because of his conversational writing style. And who can argue with the insights he shares in this book when they’re based on interviews with over fifty “masters of the financial universe” such as Bogle, Buffett and Graham?
