thank you to netgalley for the e-arc. this was a good read for someone who wants no children and a lot of money. i'll admit i skimmed a lot to get the point but some ideas came across as useful for real life.
Certainly a different take on a personal finance position. I appreciated the different aspects that pertain to me personally. It goes into just enough depth and understanding to be intriguing and useful.
Not too much new information to gather from this read. It's fun but if you've read a financial tip book you have already read this one. Thank you for the eARC!
Thank you Net Galley and Sourcebooks for the ARC!
Although I enjoyed this book, it didn't end up really supplying information that one couldn't find in any other book on financial literacy. It is all the same tips and advice, just framed in the realm of, "we will have more money in these accounts and less debt because we're not having kids." Always love seeing books that continue to normalize child-free existences, but don't really expect anything groundbreaking in this if you have all ready started down your financial health path.
As a childfree by choice woman, I really appreciated this book and the guidance it provides to help me build a more secure financial future.
The one challenge I had is that it is clearly written for an American audience, and I am Canadian. Would love to see some adjustments made for an edition to be for Canadians.
I'm now going through the book again and making adjustments to my financial planning, adapting the guidance as needed for Canada.
Definitely would advise childfree or childless people to read this book.
Thanks to the publisher for an eARC; all opinions are my own.
This was helpful, not a ton of new information that I haven’t read elsewhere but it was nice to read from a perspective focused on childfree life.
It’s like this book was written specifically for me. This book spoke to me. It was filled with great advice and tips I didn’t think of. I will be using this as reference for years to come.
This was an incredibly well written book, filled with actionable advice and a great read. I've pre-ordered this book for my friends who are childfree and planning to stay that way.
This book just wasn't for me. I liked the premise and hoped for some good tips on how to budget, plan and invest as a single, but the book was very specific to the US and repeated itself in my chapters without really getting into specifics. Also, the author pushed his other projects a little too much for my taste, so it occasionally felt like he was actually selling his other services.
A useful book of advice for people who do not have or do not wish to have children. I tend to read here and there in the financial planning genre and so while there wasn't that much new for me to discover, this is great for a beginner. I will say that you will get the most out of it if you are from the same country as the authors, as they provide specialised information pertaining to their jurisdiction. This book will leave you with quite a few things to mull over regarding your finances, things that you may never have considered.
As a fellow childfree person by choice, I am constantly confused when it comes to things like savings and retirement. This book was easy to digest and not as daunting as I expected. I am happy to be able to use the information I gained from this to apply to my future!
