Editorial Reviews

Review

"Kristin does the seemingly impossible: she makes learning about money a whole lot of fun. Get Money is a terrific, relatable read that covers the most important principles in a refreshingly clear way. Kristin doesn't preach from a mountaintop; instead, she shares her own struggles and offers great insights on why managing money can be so tough, as well as practical strategies for turning things around. If you want to get money, get this book."―Liz Weston, personalfinance columnist and bestselling author of Your Credit Score

"If you love the quick-witted insider's perspective behind lifestyle site Lifehacker, you should be a big fan of Kristin Wong.... In Get Money, Wong presents a gamified version of Personal Finance 101 and also weaves in her own personal experiences with money along the way."―Casey Bond, The Huffington Post

"Get Money is a delightful way for any money novice to finally feel empowered to take back control. Kristin Wong brings levity to an often dry and jargon-filled subject with her witty personal anecdotes and fresh take on gamifying personal finance. Kristin never points out a problem without offering the reader a solution, an unfortunate rarity in the personal finance world. Get Money is filled with practical, actionable steps that will help you "get" money, in more ways than one."―ErinLowry, author of Broke Millennial: StopScraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

"Kristin Wong's book is perfect for anyone [who is] just starting out in their personal finance journey and is looking for some actionable steps to take. And I really do mean actionable, because Kristin wrote her book in a way that will get you thinking and then doing!"―Jessica Moorhouse, host of the "Mo' Money Podcast"

"Most money books are boring and stale. Not this one. Kristin Wong's Get Money is both funny and wise, packed with practical tips for how to play the game of money--and win. If you want to take your financial life to the next level, you need this book!"―J.D. Roth, founder of Get Rich Slowly and author of Your Money: The Missing Manual

"Every few years a personal finance book is written that transcends all others published before it, and Get Money is that book! Don't let the lighthearted approach to finances fool you, Get Money is a smart, fun, and detailed guidebook to your financial life. Kristin Wong takes complex and dry money facts and turns them into engaging lessons. Get Money covers many personal finance topics without complication. It's a great mix of information, personal stories, expert advice, and assignments that will help you live the life you want!"―Jason Vitug, bestselling author of You Only LiveOnce: The Roadmap to Financial Wellness and a Purposeful Life

"It's difficult to be both detailed and engaging when talking about personal finance, but Kristin Wong has found the sweet spot. Not only is Get Money packed with valuable information on how to improve your finances, but it makes it easy for readers to take action. If you want to get serious about your money, you need to read this book."―DavidCarlson, founder of Young Adult Money and author of Hustle Away Debt

"Get Money goes beyond the step-by-step breakdown of what you should be doing with your money and shows you the why and the how behind each part of the process, so that you don't just know what to do--save, invest, pay down debt, etc.--but you also make the mindset shifts and behavioral changes to actually DO it! Kristin reminds us that paying attention to our personal finances isn't really about money at all, but rather about making sure that we can do what we want to do, experience what we want to experience, and live the way we want to live. In Get Money, she lays out the roadmap for doing just that!"―StefanieO'Connell, millennial money expert, speaker, and author of The Broke and Beautiful Life

"Get Money is full of everything you need to know to get started on your financial journey. Wong's style is smart, authoritative, personal, and funny, bringing some much-needed life to a typically dry topic like money. Throughout the book, she guides you step-by-step and helps you 'level up' to get your money in order. Not only that, but the interactive nature and the exercises make this book an essential tool for anyone looking to get money."―Melanie Lockert,author of Dear Debt: A Story About Breaking Up With Debt

"Well written in a tone that alternates between serious and humorous, Wong's timely, concise, and practical introduction is a quick and leisurely guide to modern financial literacy."―Booklist

"Wong speaks eloquently about how intricately a person's financial and emotional life are interconnected; the emotions involved, and not just the finances, must be managed in order to make any progress.... [She] shines in her encouraging direction to figure out financial priorities to accomplish personal goals."―Publishers Weekly

Great advice and easy to read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

Get Money is a really useful book for anyone looking to get their finances in order, save for retirement, or just, you know, get more money to spend on cool stuff.

Get Money is so great for a few key reasons:

1) Kristin brings in personal anecdotes so you don’t feel lectured to. With so many personal finance books it feels like you’re being nagged at. Not here.

2) The book makes it easy to follow her advice. Worksheets are sprinkled through the book so it is interactive. Some books tell you good stuff, then you forget it fast. With Get Money, you’re getting your finances in order as you read the book, so you actually get stuff done. This means the book actually works unlike a few other personal finance books I’ve read.

3) The advice is top notch even if you aren’t on a strict budget. Kristin has come up with some great rules like the 10/10 rule to help you stop making expensive impulse purchases. She also provides great advice to maximize your retirement savings and lower credit card and cable bills. Even if you’re not financially hurting, these tips can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year which means an extra vacation, more retirement savings, or really whatever you want.

So yeah. Get Money is easy to understand, fun to read, and packed with good advice. You should get it.

Full of useful tools, especially if you're newer to managing your finances

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a great "Money 101" book, especially for those just starting out in their earning years, or who have debt to pay off (student loans, credit card and other debt). I'd say target audience is mid to late 20's, although it's always helpful, regardless of age, to refresh all the basics of finance, and this book is written in an easily digestible way.
It's less helpful if you're older and handling mortgages, health care and insurance issues, and/or retirement.
Overall, 4 stars!

Good overview

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

Get Money is a well written overview and guide for personal finance. It's not the only book up should read on the subject, but it's a good one to start with. The author shares her own experiences with poverty, money management and what she has learned and done over the years. The exercises in the book are useful, and the recommendations she provide are helpful.

Also because I've been using YouNeedABudget.com for over two years, I've worked out many of the recommendations given in this book. YNAB has taught me how to budget and plan for my expenses. But I read books like this to learn even more about how I should mange my money.

This was a great book. Very informative and still fun to read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

This was a great book. Very informative and still fun to read. The book did a good job of painting the bigger picture of how money actually works and affects us. The author emphasized the psychological money mindset factor but also gives very specific details and plans and techniques to get started. This would make a perfect gift for someone about to start college.

I don’t do reviews, but I feel I need to. I had fun reading this book. Yeah, weird. I was not bored out of my mind. This book was fun and entertaining and I picked up some great advice on how to do money. Please write more books. I wouldn’t even care if it was about money, I’ll still read it.

Money essentials without the boring stuff

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

Really enjoyed this book! While money can be a boring topic, Kristin's writing style keeps entertaining. The book covers pretty much all the essentials of personal finance. I most enjoyed the parts about saving money on purchases and sides hustles. Highly recommended for anyone looking to pay off debt, save for retirement, and make more money.

This was the most fun I have had reading about personal finance ever! Kristin writes a very personal tale of her financial journey while providing practical tactics to taking control, making personal finance less scary. Get Money breaks down every aspect of how to Get money from budgeting, negotiating a raise, investing and more.

Good Information but...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 7, 2020

Verified Purchase

She aggressively cites Erin Lowry, the author of the "Broke Millennial" series. Aggressively as in... repackaged someone else's work in a somewhat tone deaf way. This book is clearly geared towards a middle class individual becoming an upper middle class individual, as evidenced by the shocking numbers used in examples "for beginners."

I personally found Erin Lowry's "Broke Millennial" book to be far more accessible so people of all levels can feel empowered to take control of their personal finances.

However, if you need to gamify personal finance - this book may be of more use to you.

A helping hand with your personal finances

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

I’m a personal finance book veteran and this is a great addition to the genre. For UK readers, it is worth noting that some things might not be applicable because this is a US based book but it contains so many useful tips and plans to help you sort out your relationship with money. My personal favourite bits so far are the spending plans to help you build an emergency fund and the goal setting to figure out why you want to be better with money. You can also access downloadable worksheets and a monthly challenge via Kristin’s email list and website.

I thoroughly recommend this book!

Tratta tutti gli argomenti che riguardano il risparmio personale in modo esaustivo, ottima base di partenza per capire come organizzare un piano di risparmio e sviluppo. Consigliato anche se più adatto ad un pubblico statunitense.
