Money Is Everything: Personal Finance for the Brave New Economy

by Amanda Reaume

Overview

When to make, save, borrow, or spend— the practical guide to managing your finances.

Personal finance is not taught in school - and the process of learning how to manage your own finances can be fraught with painful missteps. In Money is Everything, Amanda Reaume, the author behind Millennial Personal Finance and host of the Millennial Personal Finance podcast, helps walk you through everything you need to learn to manage your financial life including the best ways to make it, spend it, borrow it, and save it.

Money Is Everything is not your average personal finance book chock-full of the trite and tired same-old advice. Specifically written by and for Millennials, it will help you:

• Get the internships and jobs you want
• Understand and implement a financial plan (a.k.a. a budget!)
• Create a steady flow of side income
• Learn how to save money on small and big purchases (and get some free stuff)
• Take control of your credit score
• Turn the tables on banks and borrowers
• Become debt-free
• Learn from personal finance experts - not the hard way!

Editorial Reviews

Lilsa Ivary narrates this empowering guide with vocal confidence that will make listeners pay attention. Her calm tone and deliberate phrasing conjure the type of maternal wisdom we long for when working through the challenges of personal finance. This vocal feature makes her sound a generation older than the Millennial listeners the author targets, but it works well with this material. The author blames our monkey brains for the short-term thinking and impulsive spending that too often sink our long-term financial plans. We’re hard-wired to focus on immediate gratification, so we should get past shaming ourselves for this universal trait and instead put our energy into the basic tasks of making money, spending it wisely, and managing it carefully with prudent borrowing and saving strategies.
