Great explanation
This book is short and sweet. It gives pretty detailed explanations about why it feels like our money isn’t going as far as it used to. There’s no fluff, but this book is well written explaining exactly what you need to know on the topic. I would recommend the reading to anyone who wants to know more about the value of money.
