Review: Worthwhile read! - This was a nice quick read. I love the mix of the fiction with real hard truths about financial freedom. It has taken a lot of the big scary words & aura of finance and presented it in a way that is more approachable & digestible. I would recommend this to every woman out there esp those just starting college because at that stage they haven't learned too many bad spending habits or (hopefully) gotten themselves in a financial hole. Lots of great actionable tips to take away from this book too. It's an easy fun read with a lot of impact that could change your life for the better. It may not make you the next Warren Buffet but it certainly can help you eliminate worries about financial freedom & peace of mind. Proud to see a generation of African women rising to make their voice heard & making positive change in their own way.
Review: A must Read! - I was curious to see an African perspective on money management. Arese Ugwu delivered 100% with a mix of a typical African society (Nigeria). As a matter of fact, i fell in love with Nigeria (Cameroonian here) even more with an extra love for the continent, seeing how individuals are defying the odds to foster business and economic growth like Tara of House of Tara, she leads Africa etc. Wished I had read this book 5years ago when i moved to the US or 3 years ago when i joined CorpAm. 2 years ago I decided to understand the game of money (still on my goal), plus there's been so much to learn on how entangled we can get and easily become slaves to credit card debts. We are raised to believe money is the root of all evil (sighs), chasing money is bad and not helping others in need is wickedness...While reading I couldn't help but wonder why most Africans (Blacks in general) and other minorities spend so much on designer items, while the Caucasians invest in real deals (real estates, stocks, retirement, etc). Truth is the system is built for us to remain down as we classify looking good and flashing for wealth (all stated in the book). Its never too late to make necessary adjustments, save more, invest and forego things which add little or no value to us...i love my little luxuries, but know when soaked garri has to be my best friend, haha. Great work Arese, you are an inspiration.
