Great New Zealand perspective

I have heard a couple of podcasts by this writer but was unaware of the books. I will be going back to read her first book as well I think. This was a good read but a bit of a downer for those of us over 50 who didn't wake up young. This was accessible content and I think a reread wouldn't go amiss every so often (or maybe just the highlights. I liked the New Zealand context and its really important to have books like this around

Frances made money easy to understand

As someone relatively new to investing, Frances made it clear to understand the different investing methods. I highly recommend.

Super accessible and a great primer

This was a pleasure to read! So refreshing to find a personal finance book with realistic advice that isn't condescending or clueless (IYKYK). And Frances narrates beautifully (audiobooks are always better when read by the author!).

Life changer

Loved it. It really opened my eyes and has given me confidence to start my journey to financial independence. I just wish I had this guidance at high school!
