'Scan this QR code for thirty easy ways you can save up to $1,000 for your starter emergency fund—fast.' So instead on including it in the chapter, you slap a QR code. Why did I but this book? Half way done and we're on the first step. An emergency fun (and the importance of a budget) without explaining how to accomplish it.

Why is it for the millenial chapter, it is phrased as declining fertility rates? Not done with my generation yet but this chapter is already leaving much to be desired. She has brushed aside economic concerns. The phrasing so far for when/if to have kids is phrased differently tha before. I do not like this shift.

More myths and still hyoing the plan.

Are mutual funds he go to for everythung..? more than a third of the way through this book and still no plan. He dispelled more myths in this chapter. Many were useful, but many make me wonder who this is directed at.

Myth debt is a tool. I agree with some of this chapter. Keeping up with others by getting in debt is not a good idea. However, most examples were of people living outside their means. An oft asked question was 'what would millionaires do?' They don't have a surprise bill more than their monthly income. Many do use debt to get more. However, most of mine is from expenses an entire paycheck won't cover.

They really need to define terms. We ARE apes. They bring up Piltdown and Nebraska men as if science did nothing to disprove them. One disproved after more evidence, the other not even widely accepted. Also, we have more fossils than Lucy...

More talking up his plan. I wonder if my big concern will even be addressed. One thing not addressed so far is also that often the poor pay more for various items. Most examples he has used so far are people living outside their means and ignoring their debt. What about those that live in their means but get a huge bill?

He keeps promising it will work. I don't like that. This also seems more aimed at people that have money already to some extent.

Poorly explains mutation, leaving out the neutral ones. Confuses abiogenesis with evolution. Hand waves away incest being okay until Leviticus. Explaining the opposition badly then giving us one source (the Bible) for your own idea does not prove your case.

I am glad he does think there was a relationship between Jefferson and Hemmings. However, I am disappointed that he thinks it could have been equal in France. It was still a master slave relationship and she was a teenager. Disgusting.
