A few good aspects but there is better out there
There is some genuinely solid advice for transforming your relationship with your finances here although I suspect the extensive note-taking and graph-making would be too impractical for most readers to actually maintain over the long haul. In order to really get the most from this book you will need to fully commit to tracking your data. From my perspective, this text is overly long, very repetitive, and way too focused on American practices and systems.
The reading by the author was obviously impassioned but I found the accent grating after a very short amount of time and the frequent issues with delivery were quite distracting (e.g. there are a number of verbal 'stumbles' that you would have expected a decent producer to address).

It's not just about money
This book teaches you how you can change your life - not just with money! If you take the lessons wider, you'll see how you can transform other parts of your life you are unhappy with

Good book for those who have no control.
I enjoyed this book, I had heard a lot about it and was excited to listen to it.
I did find it quite repetitive and no new information for me. Although I have practiced a lot of these ideas from a young age. I did think of several people I know who should certainly read it as they have no control over their finances, and this book is ideal for that audience.
Overall I thought it was well written and plenty of excellent concepts, but felt like I spent several hours listening to things I already knew (so nothing against the author, I just didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would).

Great book to start for financial independence
Great content. Great starting point for financial independence or just to start your way out of debt. Not too much jargon.

Skip it and just listen to ‘Financial Freedom’.
I’ve read several FBI books and thought I better listen to what is considered the original by many people.
Despite the update, it still feels terribly old hat. The order the book is delivered doesn’t seem to make a whole lot of sense and I just can’t seem to get on Vickys wavelength.

must for all ages - Understand money in your life
multiple light bulbs moments throughout the book. clearly opens your mind to your relationship and lack of education about money in your life. wish I had learnt this 30 years ago, I would have 'enough' now. some useful tracking tools supplied as well.

Perfect for someone who is struggling with day to day money management
I tried reading the physical copy of the book in the beginning of 2021 but instantly thought it was book about how you can live a frugal life and how to save money by not spending it at all. I stopped reading it since. Again Nov 2021 i came across the audiobook version on audible and i just finished the book. I have to be honest it is a great tool for anyone struggling to manage their expenses or live from paycheck to paycheck.
I had a lot of moments of realisation about things that the author speaks about that i was doing wrong. Being from an accounting background a lot of the stuff was instantly understandable for me. Although i read a few reviews before starting that the author speaks about bonds as a medium of investment. That is not fully true. In the updated version the author does mention that bonds as a way of investing is no longer efficent and that ETF’s and property or individual stocks are way better nowadays. But there is not much focus on investing in general.
The main focus of this book is to try and get you to realise how much money you are wasting away on things that make zero to very little difference in your life and how people get so busy in day to day life that they end up with no money saved and the big question “Where did all my money go?”
I would recommend this book to anyone who is struggling to create a financial budget for themselves and to live within their means.
If you are interested in books on investing and stock market then this book is probably not the best book for you.
