This book had some helpful advice. However, a lot of it seemed repetitive or obvious. I felt a lot of the worktips or the beginning personal development tips were very helpful. I actually picked up this book from the library, thinking it was his other book on personal money management. I still think this book has some good lessons to teach and some good advice, especially if you're entering adulthood. But if you already have been doing this song and dance for a while or are an older, more experienced person. This book will not apply to you.

99 more principles

Hey! Attain a million dollars by age 40! Good advice…for the most part, such as spend less money than you net and invest half of each pay increase. (My mayor would say invest “wisely.”)
I might add, pay more than your required mortgage payment because it comes directly off the principle, and stop voting stupid.

Never too late

I hope the school learn to provide this type of education for the future generations. People would be better off with more direction in financial areas. It was an easy read and I had my teenage son read it.

Insightful and Useful Sequel

This is a follow up to the author’s first book but you don’t need to read it to understand this one. Though I highly recommend this book and it’s predecessor. Both books include enlightened and relatable advice to help with life’s curveballs.

Simple, yet practical advice.
Don't let life come to you. Come to life.
It's ALL up to you.

Pay attention to your P's:
passion, positivity, persistence, perseverance, planning, prioritization, punctuality, politeness, &
PEOPLE!

Basic

Nothing you couldn’t get off a cereal box, seriously. Not impressed. Thanks goodness we borrowed it from the library and didn’t waste money on it.
