This book was a blast to read. It put a whole new perspective of how to handle my finances. I really liked how the first thing addressed in the book is how to work on your attitude towards money, rather than going straight into techniques. I find this helpful, because I think that having a good attitude and great habits towards money is much more helpful (and will get you a bunch more money) than a few penny pinching strategies.In addition to the attitude strategies, the book provides a number of money ideas and tactics that are useful and effective. It showed how I can simplify my finances and create an easy way to follow my plan. I shared the book with my brother, who makes a bit less money than me, but we both found this book interesting and useful- now we're both on our way to financial independence.Dr. Andy Goodman's writing is clear but also personable, so it doesn't feel like he's looking down on you. It's like a friend (who knows about money) is teaching you about money. It's definitely a good book that will help you in the long run.
