[Henry Stone · Rating 4 out of 5]

Noh, see oli natukese teistsugusem raamat kui teised tavapärased.
See on hoopis üks raharaamat!
Aga, let's get into the point. Ma varem EI teadnud väga krediidi kohta, kuid nüüd tean sellest paremini. Laenud ei olnud ka minu värk, seega sain siin targemaks.
Aga kõige tätsam teadmine on, et ära lihtsalt larista oma raha, kuna muidu pead võtma laenu, et normaalselt edasi elada ja siis satud jälle hoogu jne.
Aga mulle see raamat meeldis, peatükid olid hästi jagatud teemadeks.

Very useful

[Eloise Sunshine · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is divided into 6 sections or topics to cover different areas of life related to money. As this book is aimed for young adults rather than school children, the themes discussed are also expanded from the point of view of someone who has just recently started their indipendent life. It introduces how to manage your budget and start not only saving, but also spending smart, how to control your urges to go shopping for all the possible things that you actually don't need and never gonna use. How to create different budgets for yourself and be able to afford travelling, but also a special chapter dedicated to actions one needs to take in case you end up in a debt you cannot pay back immediately (such as because you lost your job etc). And for the conclusion there is part that looks briefly into investing.

So all in all it is perhaps a bit outdated by today, but the general information is still pretty valuable for the young people about to finish school and go to uni or already trying out life on their own. One can never go wrong with good preparation.

A fast reading and a good little book to read during subway rides.
