🎧 Format: audiobook
💞 Feels: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
After following Vivian online (@your.richbff) for a while now, I was so happy to see she was publishing a book. I enjoyed listening to the information coming directly from her. Great audiobook voice.
Love the green flag and red flag notes to figure out if you’re part of a work environment with advancement opportunities or a straight up dud. Good ideas for everyone in the workforce to be considering, no matter what their level of seniority is.
Since there is A LOT of information being thrown at the readers in each chapter, I like that there are summaries at the end of each chapter of important takeaways and actions to be done. I wish I’d had this book a decade ago when I was living paycheck to paycheck. But I’m sure there are still valuable lessons for me to learn or refresh my knowledge.
Definitely didn’t know about the Monopoly credit loophole. This is advocacy to read the game board rules, no matter how long they are!
Getting technical
While I did enjoy listening to this book; I think having the physical book would also be helpful to absorb the lessons. There were times when we’re directed to download a pdf for some exercises. In all honesty, I didn’t take the extra step of downloading the pdfs, so I didn’t get the full experience. Hearing that direction to get additional materials does make me want to re-read the book and do the action items.
You’ll like this book, if…
You’ll want to read this book for the millenial/zillenial financial tips. Also, a good book if you’re not sure where to start. The gatekeeping ends here; and you can still have your latte and avocado toast!
