More than financial freedom…

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2024

The first thing I’ll say is that Paris Woods is great at making potentially difficult information easy to understand. Many people may feel their eyes glaze over when they hear words related to finance or debt or investing. Yet this book was engaging. She uses examples from her own experiences to show how someone can get into debt and how to get out. In sharing examples, she proves that the journey of financial freedom isn’t a ‘one size fits all’. She also shares useful resources for the methods she used. But I think the best thing about this guide is that she shares actual tips/techniques without judgement.

I look forward to implementing a few of these strategies and living a life of freedom.

Practical, Moving, Purposeful

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024

I chose 5 stars because of how practically the advice can be applied. I would probably do 4.5 if I could simply because the approach of debt elimination honestly is challenging for me and maybe that is a personal problem. I think it is a great suggestion but maybe not as easy to do at first as the book suggests. Paris makes it clear she had to cut and work to do so, but even so it is a hefty primary suggestion. However as you read the rest of the book I begin to understand her reasoning for doing so. So full circle read I suppose. I like how quick the read is which allows readers to work and apply and not spend all their time inside of the book— though reading is important of course. I recommend this book to everyone especially Black women and girls obviously. Information like this is less practically given to marginalized communities like ours. However this valuable information should be readily available to everyone. Especially young people about to begin their financial journeys for the first time ever. Awesome job, Ms.Woods. Thank you for challenging and inspiring.

Good read starts off slow

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2024

Great read with lots of detailed information. It starts off slow but became more and more relatable throughout the read. Once you get past the halfway point the financial information is very useful and helpful.

Pretty Good

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2022

This is a great place to start if you're wanting to get started on planning for financial independence. I got a few ideas from reading, but as someone already pretty financially literate, it didn't add too much. It was nice to have a personal touch to the topics via Wood's life experiences, but it was clear in the text that access to money in the first place is essential. If you're starting with large amounts of debt, I wouldn't say this is where to start, though it does give helpful tips on addressing debt. Unemployed folks with no income would not benefit, in the moment, from reading this, besides gaining some insight that could be helpful way down the line.
