Money Hacks

This is really a great book. Most hack books are all the same, with no new information. This one actually had useful info. Great book!

Thanks to author,publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free,it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

There are some really great tips in this book. It brought up things like I never really thought about - like deleting apps to avoid temptation. Will use this as a great reference tool for sure.

I love to read books about saving money because I really respect the people that can do this. Most of these hacks are common sense but all of them will absolutely help you save money if they are geared towards you. Quite a few of them interested me but many of them wouldn’t work for me.

What did I like? I was able to learn a bit with this book, not a huge amount since I read a ton of these books a year but enough to think this book is a gem. Basic budgeting, some simple tricks, and helpful words span this book with over 275 hacks for keeping your money in your wallet.

Would I buy or recommend? This is for beginner budget and savers truly since the majority of the info is not a surprise. A couple of things stood out for me and I plan on trying them so there is stuff in the book that may work. I enjoyed reading it, and I think it’s a helpful read.

I received a copy to read and offer an opinion. Four stars for simple hacks.

This has financial advice and hacks for everyone. I enjoyed how it got straight to the point on each hack and went straight to the next one. There are over 200 hacks. Easy simple ones such as waiting to spend money, so you don’t make impulse purchases. And other long term goals such as ways to improve your investments or saving for retirement.

Money Hacks is a tutorial and tips guide to saving, budgeting, using, and getting the most out of readers' money. Due out 22nd Sept. from Simon & Schuster on their Adams Media imprint, it's 256 pages (print version) and will be available in paperback, audio, and ebook formats.

This is a solid book full of simple tips covering a very broad range of subjects. Taken together, there is something for everyone, from beginning to adept savers. The tips are arranged roughly thematically: curb mindless spending (LOTS of tips for me in this chapter - I'm a magpie), be a savvy saver, get debt-free (still working on this one), make more money, plan for the future, and protect your money.

Each of the tips/hacks covers one page, with a description, information, and allied bullet point extensions of the basic tenet. They run the gamut from VERY simple and common sense (check your bank balance daily and know how much is in your account, never send sensitive financial information from public computers or insecure networks) to more complex information about financial and estate planning (only the highlights and very general info - regarding trusts, wills, preparing carefully before loaning money).

This is not a graphic laden or highly illustrated manual. The layout is easy to read and the language is accessible and understandable for a layman. It's good at what it does and the advice seems to be quite sound and currently factual.

Four stars. Basic but useful.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

With over 275 money saving hacks, this is a fantastic book for everyone who needs to get their spending under control, or even people who don’t have a problem overspending, but who would like to save a little more.

I am generally good with money, but I did find some useful tips too, like “Don’t fall for the free shipping trap!”. I also really liked the idea of “Spending on the Buddy System” (tie two budgets together, if you overspend one, you need to cut back on the other).

Aside from tips on how not to overspend, to book is also filled with tips on how to save, how to get out of debt and how to make more money.

In short: A book with something for everyone, wether you are in debt or if you would just like to earn a little more.

This book is a quick reference guide full of smart, easy, and logical steps one can follow to take control of their financial situation.
Not all of the steps will be applicable by everyone and none are get-rich-quick schemes, but every penny saved is a penny earned and that is what Rowan will help you manage.
With easy to understand language and references for further understanding/research, everyone can walk away with at least a few ideas and suggestions on how to better deal with their money.

Thank you to NetGalley and Adams Media for the early read!

This book of tips on saving money, making money, working to become debt-free, and financial talks with partners was super helpful. A lot of the advice was pretty familiar but it did have some interesting tips I hadn't heard before. Would highly recommend, as it isn't a long read.

When I picked up this book I was so scared that I would find myself 😂and did I. It is so easy to read,understand and it's in a tone that makes it feel like I was talking to a friend about money . Most of the tips and tricks I had heard before but it felt great hearing then again. I do recommend it because it has actually good tips that can help one save money and be more financial savvy. When I started it , I couldn't help but nod and scream THAT'S ME! I recommend this book to everyone

This book a great little resource to have all the little hacks you are trying to remember in place! If you have been interested in how to stretch your paycheck or a side hustle you could pick up, grab this book. This would be a great book to give to kids going off to college. Even starting their first job. The author does touch on Dave Ramsey, who has a huge community, but gives more than just the same advice. I also picked up a few new hacks myself.

Money Hacks is a very complete guide for those willing to start improving their day-to-day economy by performing specific tasks or by adapting new, clever, habits. But it does not end there! As you keep reading, these hacks get more and more sophisticated, providing valuable tips and information regarding investment, insurance, real state, and more. I think it is not necessary to adopt them all, as it is probable that you find some of them out of the scope of your needs or personality type, but they are worth reading: they can trigger new ideas and provide valuable information.

I loved this book! It was so relatable for anyone that struggles with overspending and not saving! Yes, there was a lot of information that I had heard before, but the author's writing style made it seem new somehow.

This book has some very nice tips and informations about how to save money. There are 280 hacks total. The book is organized and fun to read. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

This is a treasure trove of hacks to save money!! As the title says, it has over 275 tips (there are 280 in this review copy). Each half to one page hack has a basic description of the hack with tips and examples on how to implement it. All these useful hacks are spread across six sections as below:

Curb Mindless Spending
Be a Savvy Saver
Get Debt-free
Make More Money
Plan for the Future
Protect Your Money
While many of these hacks are common sense, each of them will help save money (if they are applicable to you). Some hacks are simple – like checking your bank account regularly, others are cool – like making a wish list of those items you want (not need), and apply the 10/10 rule to it when actually shopping (wait 10 minutes; are you still thinking about it and unsure? if item < $10, get it; else put it back!), while still others give an overview of estate planning or talk about insurance plans.

As for me, we use many of these hacks already while a few others don’t really apply to us for various reasons. But I would still recommend this book; since no matter who you are — the beginner or an adept budgeter and saver already — this book has something for you. It is easy to read and understand, and most importantly a basic yet very useful guide. It would make a fantastic book to gift to those beginner budgeters and savers — kids off to college, to their first job, young families starting out, and the like.

IN SUMMARY
Yes!! Recommended… Everyone can get something out of it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

This surprised me. I found it so relatable in great ways to incorporate saving money and spending less. It's not the boring hum drum financial talk I can't stand to read. It's real straight to the point talk that kept me interested and gave me tips that I easlily ( and gradually) use.

Thank you Netgalley!
