Atomic Habits book cover

Money at 30: "Atomic Habits" Audiobook Review

Oftentimes, when I'm looking for a new book to review, I'll turn to the Amazon/Audible best sellers list to look for finance-related titles. Each time I've done this, near the top of the Business & Money is a book called Atomic Habits by James Clear. While I'd resisted this book previously since it didn't seem to really be that much about personal finance, with the new year upon us, I...
"The Winning Playbook" by Welsh and Scott

Money at 30: "The Winning Playbook" Book Review

Earlier this summer, I opened my email to find an unsolicited PDF copy of an upcoming book in my inbox. Well, it was upcoming back then but, now, The Winning Playbook: Strategies For Life On And Off The Field by authors Rob Welsh and Jonathan Ray Scott is available to all. So, with the football season (and, in turn, my fantasy football season) now well underway, I decided to spend...
"Cashing Out" by Julien and Kiersten Saunders

Money at 30: "Cashing Out" Audiobook Review

It's time yet again for another personal finance audiobook review. This month, I had the chance to check out Cashing Out: Win the Wealth Game by Walking Away by Julien and Kiersten Saunders of the Rich & Regular podcast. Having seen this duo at past FinCon events and all over personal finance Twitter, I was excited to pick this one up on Audible and give it a listen during my...
Cloud Money by Brett Scott

Money at 30: "Cloudmoney" Audiobook Review

For years, I've been writing about the FinTech sector and reviewing applications that fall under that banner. In turn, I've become a fairly large fan. Thus, when I was looking for new books to check out and came across one that seemed critical of the advent of these financial technology firms, I was definitely intrigued. The book in question is Cloudmoney: Cash, Cards, Crypto, and the War for Our Wallets...

Money at 30: "Things That Matter" Audiobook Review

A couple of years back, I reviewed the book The More of Less: Finding the Life You Want Under Everything You Own by Joshua Becker — a popular blogger (Becoming Minimalist) that I've continued to be a fan of. After reading it, I was inspired to start my own journey in the direction of minimalism, while admittedly falling well short of being a full-on convert. More recently, Becker released a...
"Stacked" by Joe Saul-Sehy and Emily Guy Birken

Money at 30: "Stacked" Audiobook Review

When I come across a new personal finance book to review, it's almost like Christmas to me. Funny enough, the book Stacked: Your Super-Serious Guide to Modern Money Management by authors Joe Saul-Sehy and Emily Guy Birken actually was released around Christmas of last year, yet somehow only hit my radar last week. So, in a bid to make up for lost time, I downloaded the book from Audible this...
My Money My Way - Kumiko Love book cover

Money at 30: "My Money My Way" Audiobook Review

This past week, I had the chance to do a bit of international traveling. So, with a pair of 8-ish hour flights occupying my week, what better way to pass the time than listening to another recently-released personal finance audiobook? My choice this time around comes from Kumiko Love — AKA "The Budget Mom" — who released My Money My Way: Taking Back Control of Your Financial Life last month....
Money Magic by Laurence Kotlikoff book cover

Money at 30: "Money Magic" Audiobook Review

Having completed another year of (near) monthly book reviews, it's time to start off 2022 on the right foot! Released earlier this month, Money Magic: An Economist's Secrets to More Money, Less Risk, and a Better Life by Laurence Kotlikoff is a title I encountered on one of my daily dives for finance news, leading me to cash in one of my Audible credits and listen to the audiobook (which...
