Amazon Kindle Price: $0.00
This book is large compilation of articles written by Devin D. Thorpe for Familyshare.com. The reviews on Amazon were mixed, some people seemed to love the book, while others seemed to find it useless. Since the book was a free kindle download, I didn't set my expectations high, but I figured for the price I had nothing to lose. After reading through the first few articles, I was impressed with the content of the book. The 177 pages of this book are divided into the following segments:
Your Family
Frugal Living
Your Home is the Centerpiece of Your Financial Future
Your Car is Just Transportation
Your Money
Managing Your Career
Increasing Your Savings
Entrepreneurship
Getting Out of Debt
Saving for College
Planning for Your Ideal Retirement
Investing Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Money
Leave Your Mark on the World
Each segment of the book is comprised of multiple articles relating to that segment. Some of the articles were pertinent to my life, and some weren't. The titles of the articles are clear and indicative of what you will fine within the text, and the content is concisely written. In many cases, the articles follow a progression, for example there are a series of articles written regarding saving for retirement; these articles are broken down by the age of the reader. If you're a 30-something, then the article about saving for retirement in your 30's is suiting, but you may not be interested in the article about saving for retirement in your 50's.
The author offers sound advice on a broad spectrum of personal finance topics. While I don't believe that you'll become a millionaire simply by reading the articles in this book, I do believe that there is helpful information in this book regardless of what your current financial situation is. I definitely recommend reading through this, and seeing what you can learn from the articles. I'm quite certain that there will be at least something of value in here for everyone, and since it's free you really have nothing to lose by checking it out!
