While I don't feel it's everything you need to know, I do feel it's everything you need to know to get started. But if you only do what this book suggests, you will be much better off than 95 percent of the world.

The strongest point made is that you should pay off high interest credit card debt before starting to save. This stops compounding from working against you in the opposite direction and frees up monthly cash flow to build saving faster.

It's great for anyone in debt or just starting out.

This was a combination pep talk and the simplified version of how to make save and manage your finances. Is it everything? No. Is it a starting point to help those that don't know where to start? Yes. It is probably the most simple and painless read on finances. I really appreciated the sprinkles of motivation added in.

Good short book - ideal for someone just starting out. The advice is sound and the price is right, but the devil is always in the details. Implementing what the author preaches requires the discipline to delay gratification, something our parents and grandparents understood and valued, but which is very much out of favor these days.

While I did not count the words, this is a short read. It is a big picture look at managing finances. You might go yeah duh, I know that. However, the question Mr. Carlsen asks without asking is, if you know this and agree with me, why aren't you doing it. Sometimes the simplest concepts are the hardest to implement.

Simple strategies outlined for personal finance success. But as the author puts it, these strategies will only work if you take action and intentionally apply them to your life .

3.0 out of 5 stars A starting point.
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2020

I wasn’t really expecting much detail in a book that’s less than 1000 words. You just can’t get into detail and cover several subjects. I think this book is a starting point. It gives you ideas of what you should do, but further research is needed on how to implement those ideas. If the author has similar books that cover each chapter, I would call it a great miniseries to personal finance.

The books is written in such a manner that it is precise, to the point. The narrative is like a father to son conversation with quotes stated.
I would say it is an introduction to personal finance than everything about it.
