Don't expect miracles

What do you think your next listen will be?

The little book of Main Street Money

Have you listened to any of Sean Pratt’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

Was The Little Book That Saves Your Assets worth the listening time?

Barely, but I don't regret listening to it.

Any additional comments?

If you want something you can directly apply, look somewhere else. If you are looking for all the financial education you can find, I think this is worth the read. The title suggests that it take the concepts of the wealthy and applies it to those of us with smaller portfolios. I found it does the former, but not the latter.

Solid advice, but a little overwhelming

This book has so much good advice in it, but it is really too much information to readily apply. I have a significant amount of experience in finance (degree in finance and 10 years as a financial advisor) and still this book leaves me with a feeling of "Goodness! There's so much to learn, do, and execute that I'll never have the time!" The information is well thought out and accurate, but the book covers so much ground that it ends up feeling overwhelming.
