Her efforts to protect taxpayers, to hold Wall Street accountable, and to ensure tough oversight of both the Bush and Obama Administrations won praise from both sides of the aisle.

“If you do not persist in advocating for yourself in every area you need help in no one will help you. Study what you can whilst you can and understand what you need to know so that future generations won’t make the same mistakes. Persist in faith. Do not slack off and give up. Keep fighting. Excel. Exceed the expectations of those around you and you will walk with giants.”

I've read a lot of money blogs and articles, but not a lot of books on the topic. The few I have read made everything more complicated than it needed to be. This book breaks everything down into a simple 50/30/20 plan with practical advice on how to get your must-have expenses down to 50% of your income. There's no "stop drinking Starbucks" advice here, which is useless to those of us who don't splurge on coffees or eating out or movies or vacations.

I'll start with a note that this is a very positive 3 stars. The problem is, I rather dislike the genre of political policy memoir which mixes stump speech with substantive ideas with personal story. I also understand that it's the way the genre works. So 3 stars is as high as I'm likely to ever give a book of this type.

Warren earns that three stars because what I really want out of reading a book by a potential presidential nominee is the substance of their ideas, and Warren does pretty well on delivering substance in this book. It's intermixed with plenty of "That time I did awesome thing X" and "Here's my background." Still, there is real substance. This substance is a mix of history and policy recommendations. While I don't always agree with Warren's suggestions (although often I do), I appreciate that she understands that the government and the economy are complex, intertwined systems where solutions are not straight forward. There is no magic wand, and understanding that is, in my view, a key requirement of a good presidential candidate.… (plus d'informations)
