A good book full of lots of helpful and useful information. It briefly covers a lot of the basics in terms of definitions, theories, advice and the like. This allows for a greater understanding of money management as you progress through the book. It can get a little confusing to understand and is almost a bit of information overload at times. Overall, a very good book that provides a beginners insight into managing your finances better.

A good book that covers lot of finance topics. There are few mathematical formulae given which might need second look to understand better. I personally loved the last chapter on behavioural finance which explained many behavioural science that influences finance which I considered unique from other personal finance books.

It's a good starting point made easy and sectioned to understand how to better manage your finance. It also has some examples and templates you can use to better understand how to build a budget and manage your money. Overall to learn more you'd have to read other in-depth finance books. But this is a great beginners guide and understanding.

Some good points here for those just starting on a financial journey, not so useful if you have the basics and terminology down already

Unfortunately way too basic. Little more than finance terminology.
