BRILLIANT

Love this read so much. Love the way the author reaches his readers through inspirational stories & quotes. One of the best reads on wealth building I have read

[Ingrid · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is presented as a modern guide to becoming a millionaire, but much of the advice feels outdated and geared toward a very privileged group. Suggestions like "save a third of your income" or "don’t rent, buy a house" are simply unrealistic for the average person in today’s economy. If I could already afford a house, I wouldn’t be reading this book.

Some advice is solid—like investing in ETFs and similar strategies—but it’s written in business-heavy language that assumes the reader already understands financial jargon. While the book claims to be for everyone, it still feels gatekept and out of reach for most people.

That said, it does include references for key points and suggestions for further reading, which is a plus. Still, given the title, I expected more practical, modern, and accessible advice.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I learned something new in every chapter of this book and loved the quotes, facts, and real-life stories that kept me entertained throughout. 

Even though I don’t know much about finance, I found every chapter to be easy to understand  and follow. This book is great for someone in their 20s who is looking to grow their finance knowledge.

I think chapter 7 on stock selection is pure gold and it’s worth reading the book just for that chapter. While some of the points are obvious, the way this book outlines specific examples and ways to verify your investment ideas are something I will use every day going forward. I’m excited to buy stocks and use the advice in that chapter.

Also I’d strongly recommend the paperback version. The formatting on the binding of this book is really cool, as it uses color markings for each chapter and key points. This was really unique and I liked it.

In the book, Jared recounts how he surmounted challenging situations to establish a successful career and wealth narrative using conventional strategies that anyone could employ at any stage.This book guides you towards financial insight like a treasure map. It is packed with helpful suggestions that will lead you to reconsider how you manage money. You will be encouraged to reconsider your assumptions as well as inspired to take control of your financial future by Jared's divergent conclusions from the book. This book has some truly amazing pearls of wisdom, and its layout was innovative and enjoyable.

I've finally had a chance to read "Break the rules, Break the bank" by Jared Kling, and I have to say—it's amazing! The primary subjects of this book consist of financial literacy and improving your financial perspective as well. To assist you in recognising the differences between working for money and having money work for you, Jares offers his individual experiences and observations. This book offers valuable information regarding wealth and defies conventional wisdom by outlining doable strategies for accumulating assets and generating passive income. It truly inspired and empowered me as a whole. A good read in case you want to become financially independent. Recommended!

[Henry Jack · Rating 5 out of 5]

Without a doubt, this is a very helpful and educational book on investment and entrepreneurship. Mostly people feel discouraged in investing and managing their money wisely. This is a good book to show you how wealth and financial literacy can be created from the scratch, no matter what the situation is. Every young person should read this story of Jared's struggles as it has many useful tips for someone who is new to investing and wasn't taught how to manage money. You should definitely invest the time and money to read this book.Good learning!

"Break the Bank, Break the Rules" is very practical stuff. It gives helpful, responsible, and focused alternatives while clearing up some misunderstandings about getting rich. It can totally change the way you invest by offering workable tips. Mostly, I don't read such books, but this one is a little out of the box. Each chapter taught me something new, and I particularly enjoyed the stories and real-life examples that kept me interested the whole time.

Although I consider myself to be very knowledgeable in finance, I decided to read this book on an errand after seeing a suggestion online. It is a comprehensive and easily readable, with straightforward instructions that will change your perspective on how you spend money.I got a number of great ideas and further steps for structuring my finances. Definitely suggest this to everyone who needs a little financial nudge in the correct direction!

[Pauline O'Halloran · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a great introduction to financial intelligence. This is the perfect gift for a school leaver or anyone wanting to learn about building wealth. I particularly liked the "give your money a job" chapter that talked about the impact of starting investing early. The chapters build on each other like compounding interest and provide a starting point for anyone who wants to build their wealth.

Good Start for Beginners

Quick read for good financial advice! The recommendations and the overall message of this book is consistent with financial training and other books I’ve done. If personal finances scare you or you just want to dip your toes in the water, this is a good book to get the motivation going!

[Martip · Rating 2 out of 5]

Low rate because I'm beyond the "buy yourself a house" stage. The most helpful items in the book might be the resources pages.
