Unlike many personal finance books, How to Manage Your Money When You Don't Have Any was specifically written for Americans who struggle to make it on a monthly basis. It provides a respectful, no-nonsense look at the difficult realities of our modern economy, along with an easy-to-follow path toward better financial stability that will give hope to even the most financially strapped households. Created by a financial expert who hasn't struck it rich, this guide offers a first-hand story of financial survival in the face of rough times. Rather than emphasizing wealth creation, How to Manage Your Money When You Don't Have Any teaches listeners to do the best they can with their income no matter its size. Content rich, personal, and jargon free, the book is opinionated, at times humorous, and full of current everyday references.

im definitely going to budget my finances now. really worth listening
Finally a personal finance book that doesn’t guilt trip! Truly for an eager beginner or rebooter. I enjoyed his analogies and simple logic.
Very helpful and practical advice!! I first read Dave Ramsey’s book and found this to be the perfect addition
It’s a short and simple book suitable for people who don’t know how to start managing their finances. The author keeps his best to keep the content easy to digest and I’m sure a lot of people can benefit from reading this book (or listening)
great book with practical info. recommend for beginners as much info was basic but still a great guide
Provided excellent instructions to manage finances. Reinforced the need to live within one's means.
This is an awesome practical book for people who need basic easy to do advice. He is logical and methodical. We need his strategy to navigate in a society where what you can display is revered even if you are in deep debt. I will recommend this book to my high school students so they can learn before getting into the credit card game.
Interesting take on personal finance for those who have a very thin wallet (like me). Encouraging.
This book gave different strategies to win. Because they all may not apply or be best for you great value in this book
He made people realize how they are being manipulated and how we just did not realize it.
very useful !!! give steps to follow, also is down to earth
It was a good listening. Unfortunately it doesn't really apply to the financial reality of my country but nevertheless I was able to extract something that would help me out in the road to financial stability. The author makes a great case in regards to debt and values that is relevant in any society. Recommend giving it a try.
I was looking for information for those who literally have no money. If you are not social security age, unemployed, disabled and exhausted your state’s employment benefits, it is tough luck! Some states have no cash benefits, some states $145.00 or so per month. That person is in debt for everything, water, toilet paper, laundry, a healthy table and a healthy bed. Hopefully they are eligible for food stamps but Rent? Forget it! They may not have credit card debt but supporters and even family wants compensation and pay back. Some will take you to court. What then?
Written from an informative and true to life's situations. Not from a get rich perspective but a spend less to have more real life perspective.
Great read it’s really help full just give it a try
Very helpful book with good steps towards personal financial stability
Simple and straightforward approach, great advice to managing your debt and real life examples. A good read for those that do not have savings and want to change their financial situation
Great book if you put it into action and trust yourself, you will succeed, money is a Tool God have given to live life. He teaches us a way to use it that may fit yours. I enjoy the read and will definitely be taking some of his advice and applying it to my own finances.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I really enjoyed the life experience of the author and how it helped him and his family take a look of finances and to take a different approach to keeping his moral obligation to his family
Excellent book. Most definitely an every day must read book for me!
Great insight and tips. Not your traditional budgeting guide.
As someone who is not new to planning personal finances, but needs to learn more, I could say I already knew most of the advice this book provided. However, it’d be a huge mistake not to read it, and read it again from time to time. Why?
We take things, good and bad, for granted. They’re not. Change will come, by external forces and our own actions. We need to be prepared and act accordingly to our values.
The goal of this book is to change the way we think about money, its power and where responsibility to our financial stability lies. Spoilers: with us.
What I loved most? The factual approach, greaseless. That delicate slap in the face here, and occasional punch in the guts. On top of that, the STEP-BY-STEP of how to start and apply his ideas.
If we didn’t need such steps, we wouldn’t read a book with such a title, would we? Well, I just did read it, and it delivered well what it promised.

When you think about it, it's all common sense. The problem is, you don't often think about your money this way.
Very empowering book recommended for everyone who is struggling which finances finished the book and past to my wife to you as well
Zero Budgeting saved my mental health I swear... great listen
If you're completely new to personal finance, this book contains a lot of information and can help you a long way to get to financial stability. The latter being something I really appreciate in the writer.
