Money at 30: "At Your Best" Audiobook Review
by Kyle Burbank
If you're anything like me, you probably go to bed thinking about what a productive day you're going to have come morning. Even as that new day unfolds, you still hold out hope that your to-do list will be crushed before the day's end. Yet, somewhere along the way, everything gets derailed and even a post-mortem can't help you determine just what exactly went so wrong. Seeing as this happens... Book Reviews
Money at 30: "The Passion Economy" Book Review
by Kyle Burbank
Have you ever stopped to think about how many people today are doing jobs that didn't exist a decade ago? Or have you talked to someone at a cocktail party, asked about their job, and thought, "How do you make money with that?"

Money at 30: "Get the Hell Out of Debt" Audiobook Review
by Kyle Burbank
After turning to the printed word for my last book review, this month, I headed back to Audible to see what money-related audiobooks I could discover. What I found was Get the Hell Out of Debt: The Proven 3-Phase Method That Will Radically Shift Your Relationship by author Erin Skye Kelly. So, I decided to give it a shot — and ended up quite enjoying the seven-hour (if you were... Book Reviews

As much as I've enjoyed listening to audiobooks over the past few months thanks to my Audible subscription, this weekend, it was time to return to the world of physical media by reading a book I've had on my list for a while. Late last year, author Erin Lowry released the third book in her Broke Millennial series, following the original and the Broke Millennial Takes on Investing follow-up. This... Book Reviews
Money at 30: "Die With Zero" Audiobook Review
by Kyle Burbank
Titling a book can be a bit of a challenge — perhaps even more so in the world of non-fiction. Although your subtitle can do a lot of the heavy lifting, your main title needs to be both catchy and memorable while also laying out the premise of your work and presenting a promise you can deliver on. Well, with a title like Die With Zero: Getting All You Can... Book Reviews
Money at 30: "Nomadland" Book Review
by Kyle Burbank
Under normal circumstances, Hollywood's annual awards season would have already concluded by this time of year. Of course, the past several months have been anything but normal — including for the film industry. In any case, as we enter a delayed 2021 awards season, one movie seems to be the odds-on favorite having already won Best Motion Picture - Drama at the recent Golden Globes: Nomadland starring Frances McDormand. Although... Book Reviews
Money at 30: "Know Yourself, Know Your Money" Book Review
by Kyle Burbank
Ever since I decided to start consuming and review more personal finance books, I've realized that I tend to stay in one main arena — namely early retirement and financial independence. However, when looking for recently-released titles, I came across something a bit different: a book called Know Yourself, Know Your Money: Discover Why You Handle Money the Way You Do, and What to Do About It by Rachel Cruze....
