I really enjoyed this book and found it to be both insightful and practical. While I believe it would be especially impactful for someone in their 20s, there was still a lot of value in it for me as a woman in my mid-40s. In many ways, it felt like a refresher — reinforcing things I already knew while also introducing perspectives that made me reflect on what I could have done differently earlier in life.

The book is clearly written from a U.S. perspective, which is most noticeable in chapters like education and investing, as the author draws heavily on her personal experiences as a U.S. citizen. That said, the core principles are still very relevant. With a bit of extra research and an understanding of how education systems and investment options work in your own country, much of the advice can absolutely be adapted and applied elsewhere.

The investment chapter, in particular, was thought-provoking. It really highlights how powerful early financial literacy can be. Reading this made me think that if I’d had access to this kind of knowledge in my 20s, my financial situation today could look very different, perhaps more stable, or even allowing for early retirement, as the author and others mentioned in the book have achieved.

Overall, this is a book I would wholeheartedly recommend as a gift for young adults, especially those just entering adulthood. I’d even go as far as suggesting it for teenagers around 16 years old, as a way to get them thinking early, building awareness, and developing confidence around money and life choices. It’s the kind of book that helps you hit the ground running, and I genuinely wish I’d read it sooner.

A Book I Wish I’d Read in My 20s

A well written interesting and valuable insight into financial freedom. Best parts are how each chapter is set out with a review and next steps at the end. Some info is specific to the USA like the college and university routes but some are global which I can research like the FIRE model. Thank you Paris!
