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....

Money at 30: "Buy the Avocado Toast" Book Review
by Kyle Burbank
There sure are a lot of stereotypes about Millennials, aren't there? Nevermind the fact that most media outlets don't seem to know what even constitutes a "Millennial," my generation has often been regarded as lazy and entitled, with other baseless assertions being peppered in over time. One of the more recent (yet still played out) additions to the list of Millennial tropes is that we all blow our money on... Book Reviews
Money at 30: 5 Personal Finance Books That Would Make Great Gifts
by Kyle Burbank
Earlier this year, I set out to both read and review more books. Specifically, I wanted to look at books that explored the many facets of money — from how to have and use it to what it actually means. On the whole, I'd say I accomplished that goal (aside from the reality that I was supposed to do another book review today but have yet to finish reading). So,... Book Reviews
Money at 30: "The Path" Book Review
by Kyle Burbank
When I was a kid, I distinctly remember listening to non-fiction self-help-ish audiobooks as my dad drove us to karate class, the zoo, or wherever else. Alongside the likes of Zig Ziglar was Tony Robbins — a gruff-voiced guru coach who'd talk not only about motivation but also money. Cut to 25 years later and, as I scroll Audible, I see that Tony has a new book out with co-author... Book Reviews
Money at 30: “The Psychology of Money” Book Review
by Kyle Burbank
One of the things I love most about the book reviews I've been doing for the past several months now is that, despite writing about finance for five years or so now, I'm consistently introduced to new insights, ideas, and perhaps even some "hot takes" about money. My latest bit of consumption is no exception and, in fact, may be the most paradigm-shifting read I've experienced yet. Released earlier this... Book Reviews
Money at 30: "The More of Less" Book Review
by Kyle Burbank
If you're like most people, I assume that, at some point, you've looked around your home and wondered why you have so much crap. Sure you should probably get rid of it but it's not really hurting anyone, right? And then there's all the other stuff that you might not use on a day-to-day basis but holds a special place in your heart for one reason or another — what... Book Reviews
Money at 30: “Utopia for Realists” Book Review
by Kyle Burbank
Sometimes it seems that a personality goes from being nowhere on my radar to appearing everywhere I turn. One might assume this to be a case of the subconscious becoming conscious... but it’s more likely to be a symptom of a book promotion cycle. That’s the case with Dutch author Rutger Bregman, who I’ve seen mentioned across social media and podcasts as of late. While Bregman recently released a new...
