Good wholesome financial and life advice
4 stars
Sam Dogen aka Financial Samurai's book. This covers all sorts of basic and intermediate financial and life advice. Covers for areas, being philosophy and mindset, putting money to work for you, working and maximizing wealth, and focus on the most important areas of life.
285 pages of text plus extra content. Includes a list of his blog posts for each chapter, should you wish to dive in deeper on a topic and type in a long-ish URL.
All in all, a good book. It's a great summary and rather general advice. Personal finance is a huge category so there was little here that was new. Couple of the chapters he gets analytical with data used to help make decisions.
Would I reread it? Unlikely. Would I recommend it? Probably to the right person who needs help with their finances and life and they are in their early to mid career.
