I appreciates how this book doesn’t talk down to you. It covers credit scores, debts, passive income and much more. A great book for beginners. A smart no nonsense guide to guiding wealth early. Would have been nice to have earlier in my lifetime.

I got this book because I'm looking for a finance book for my daughter. I thought this was perfect for her. It's short, sweet, written in plain terms, and gets the point across about money. What she needs at her age is awareness and a strategy—this book gives this to her. I'm glad it also addresses things like retirement and emergency funds planning, which I don't think a lot of young people think about, plus credit card debt. And debt, in general. I think she'll get a lot out of it. My only critique, which is the four-stars, is I wish there were more graphs or planner examples, or visual examples, which I think this generation responds well to. But still, overall, good information and organized well.

True to its title, this is a great book for young adults getting ready for the real world to learn about money. I highly recommend getting this book as a gift for someone finishing up high school. Never too early to learn about personal finance and how to accumulate wealth in life. The author is a great writer, as she also made content easier to understand with useful examples throughout. Now in my mid-30s, some of the financial advice offered in this book I had to learn the hard way over the years. For example, only learned about auto loans and interest rates when buying my first car out of college or learn to shop around for better mortgage rates when purchasing my first townhome. But I was still able to learn about some new online shopping tricks, what to do and not do while building credit, different types of interests/loans, numerous retirement programs I’ve never even heard of, and side hustle ideas to make extra cash. So, I wish I had read this book when I was in high school, I could achieve financial freedom much sooner, make better investment and purchasing decisions, and plan an even earlier retirement.
