It's a great introduction to all things finances, written in an accessible and entertaining way. I already felt knowledgeable enough on more than half the chapters so I skimmed or skipped those, but there was still plenty of helpful advice, specifically in the relationship with money chapter and the investing chapter. Seeing that she has a second book all about investing, I'm going to have to purchase that one, too.
Ideal for recent grads!

A good resource for young people who have no idea AT ALL about how finances work. If you already have a basic understanding of your financial life, other books would probably be a better fit.

Still shopping for #litsypartyofone goodies? This app has a bunch of rebates on snacks!
Use my referral code, wwoatvs, and use redeem and applicable rebate within 7 days, and you can get a $10 welcome bonus. Sign up at https://ibotta.com/r/wwoatvs
Full disclosure: I am one away from the 3 sign-ups I need for the bonus. So although I always recommend this app (as demonstrated by the money I've redeemed!) I'd be extra grateful for referrals now 😃

Smangela Oh my gosh I'm 1 away too! I hope you get a referral asap :) 7y
TheBookDream #Smangela Thanks! Me too. It's a great deal for whomever signs up, since redeeming even a candy bar within 7 days gets you the $10 bonus. You can't cash out until $20, but after you redeem the initial rebate you use it at your leisure and cash out when you can. I love it 👍👍🙂 7y

Smangela @TheBookDream so very very true. I decided to save up my earnings and use it toward my little one's first birthday! It makes shopping wayyyy more fun haha check out Shopkick too - you don't even have to buy anything to earn points you can redeem for gift cards 7y
TheBookDream @Smangela Do you have a referral code for Shopkick I should use? 7y
Smangela Did you get your 3rd friend? I *think* my mom will qualify for me in time, fingers crossed! 7y

Really enjoyed this one! Some great financial advice that doesn't feel like I'm getting beaten over the head with it by my parents.
