Reviews for Happy Go Money
Rating: 3.75 out of 5 stars
4/5
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The premise of this financial self-help book is that it will help you balance keeping yourself happy and the realities of your financial needs. And it kind of delivers. For a financial book, I found it took a bit long to get to the financial stuff as the first 100ish pages have a lot of pop psychology as it's more heavily focused on figuring out your happiness factors. The following financial advice isn't super revolutionary: set SMART goals; have some kind of budget; balance saving for emergencies, goals, and retirement; consider using a financial advisor if money stuff really leaves your head spinning. All good advice and I appreciated that Leong (who is Canadian) references both Canadian and American financial options. But I definitely found myself skimming more as I got further through the book as her peppy language just didn't jive for me and as none of the advice was new to me, I didn't really take anything away that would change my financial life. Except slightly more anxiety about retirement savings (as always). YMMV.
