Financial Literacy: How to Gain Financial Intelligence, Financial Peace and Financial Independence.: A Guide to Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties.

This is a great book for people who want to understand the nuts and bolts of personal finance. The author calls it on the front of the book "A Guide to Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties" and I think that's spot-on. The example he uses as a springboard for the journey is Bob, a guy who just graduated college burdened with almost $27,000 in student loan debt. (Compared to many, many graduates, Bob is doing pretty well with such a low debt load!) How does someone like Bob effectively navigate their financial life and easily integrate all the necessary elements of personal finance into their life as they mature and mature through the workforce? The author is patient, supportive and has broken up all the concepts into bite-size, digestible sections so as to not overwhelm the reader. All in all, a great resource for people wanting to learn more about personal finance!

Great read on finances overall and really opened my eyes on my personal habits of spending. It’s truly motivated me on taking the reins on my financial future and has pushed me to consider ways on increasing my income to eliminate my debts and to start having money work for me! Highly recommend and will be reading many times over, thank you Shaun!

Great summary of the key topics one to master to get on the path to financial freedom. This book is very comprehensive and cover most items one needs to address to be debt free and on your way to accumulate some wealth. The topics cover in this book are too many to cover as the author did an oustanding job to ensure this guide was complete and exhaustive. Loans, credit cards debts, entertainment, budgetting, and many others are just a few of the items listed to reduce cost. On the revenue side, the author dives into some areas that one one may no consider. Areas like online business, side jobs, and othrers sources of revenue are explored in details. I recommend this book to anyone intersted on learning the basic financial literacy tools. The author doesn't go in depth on how to becoming very rich, but he covers all the factors for being in great financial health.A great financial education for starting individuals.

I wish this info had been available as a class back when I was in high school, might have saved me a lot of fiscal misery! This book is full of financial wisdom and sage advice—from managing debt to setting a budget, the stock market, and all points in between. The author speaks on a more nuts-and-bolts approach to financial freedom than a get rich quick scheme, and as such, is so much more powerful for it. The book is more than just dreamy advice and details plenty of actual strategies to help one achieve their financial goals. Well-written and on-point formatting. High praise for this one, an easy five-stars.

Shaun has a lot of good information in this book. Lots of good ideas. I am glad to know I am on the right track. I told myself. If I have one penny more tomorrow than what I had today it is progress. I recommend this book.

I have always enjoyed reading personal finance books. This is a great entry level book for anyone wanting to get started on taking control of their finances and building wealth for the future. The book lays out the traps that many Americans fall into, credit cards, debt, lack of passive income, etc. but it also provides numerous ideas on how to end this cycle if you are in it. Or... how to never get into it in the first place. Well worth the read!

One of the best books I have read on financial literacy for Millennials and Gen Zers. A quick and easy read that challenges conventional thinking of buying a home on mortgage if it doesn't earn cash, provides lessons, strategies and tactics to cut down on debt, and enhance income, savings and investments through pragmatic decisions and solutions that can be implemented easily. The book mentions important side hustles and different types of passive income to augment income. Highly recommended for young minds.

A lot of the concepts presented in this book are really common sense -- don't live above your means, prioritize getting out of debt, save for the future -- but it's nice that it goes pretty in-depth on these topics to explain why all of it is so important to your financial health. While it is an important and helpful guide, one thing I will say is that you may come away from it feeling a little guilty for all of the things you haven't been doing financially all this time. (I know I did.) Still, great book and very much recommended.

Quite a nice book that covers the same topics as other books on the subject.

For basic financial literacy for your home and family, this book goes into just the right amount of detail to someone who has never balanced an account but is aware that money isn't just for you, it's also for your future grandkids. However, the paperback copy I received has near 50% of the pages simply falling out of the book! The pages are not attached to the spine, and it's infuriating to keep the pages in place. It's a shame that the publisher has skimped on glue, would have been an enjoyable and educational read if I wasn't constantly stressed about losing pages.
