Official Review: The Pre & Post College Student Pocke...

[mariakavo88]

As someone who has been going to college for what feels like forever and continues to do so, this book could have been very useful to me and still could be. I like how you mention they also have websites so you can further your research. Great review!

As for now I do not want to review this book. But perhaps I would do so later. I think the book should be very relevant in the lives of high school students and people who want to have control over the use of money.

Nice review. This sounds like an excellent resource for high schoolers who want to go to college and have a career, as well as adults who are looking to be debt free and want to prepare for retirement. I’ll be reading this with my own high schoolers I think we’ll all benefit. Thanks so much for sharing.

I commend the author for offering a self-help book for students that would immensely lessen the stress they encounter in their studies; less stress, more time and productive outputs.

I definitely think, after reading this review, the book would be worthwhile--I know I am still (at 46) dealing with student debt, and I could have used good advice about credit back in college when they had credit card reps all over the place hawking getting a card, with some sign up bonus designed to get applications. That this book, too, is relatively short and easy to carry might be good, too, for students--given many are working, going to school, and dealing with a lot. This is a book, based on the review, I'd recommend to friends with college-age kids.

It sounds like this book would be helpful to any young adults who are setting out in life. I don't fall into that category, so I don't think it's for me.

I could have used a book like this about 5 years ago. I think the book could still be helpful in some ways though. I'll love to read this. Nice review.

It's refreshing to hear someone give such practical advice, especially during times when college is more expensive than ever and students are drowning in debt. I like that this author gives advice on how to survive college financially, because I think that now is probably one of the worst time periods in human history to be a college student. There are many recent college graduates who have Bachelors and even Masters degrees, and they still have trouble finding a decent paying job. Many of us are working three or more part time jobs at minimum wage (employers don't want to hire us full time because then they'll have to give us benefits) and yet, we are told we can be whatever we want to be. I like that this book gives specific, practical advice on how to make that a reality. It sucks being a college student, but this seems to make it a little better. Thanks!

Renee J. Bey encourages readers to take control of their lives, “You can do whatever you set your mind to do. Please, don’t let anyone or anything stop you from your own success and what you are destined to be.” You often hear this message in motivational speeches, but Renee takes her message a step further and tells you how to make it all happen.

You mention such an important point here! It´s much easier to give hollow motivational advice, but to help people follow through is really meaningful. This seems like a very useful read! Sure, it might not be something I´d read for fun, but it´s important not only for future college students but for everyone interested in pursuing a career and a debt-free life.
Thank you for your review!

What a great concept for a book. My son took a personal finance class in high school and said it was the most useful class he took. The trick will be getting teenagers to read a book. I agree this should be a mainstay with all guidance counselors in schools.

Thank you for sharing your review with us. There's not any reviews on Amazon yet so I was wondering . I am interested in reading this book for myself and my kids. I really like that there are key points, websites and that it is edited very well.

The shortness of this booklet will definitely encourage teens to flip through it. I agree that this booklet should be available to the majority of schools. I like that each chapter focuses on a different topic and ends with key take away points. However, I wonder if this booklet is only relevant in America? Can the contents also be relatable in England?

Does the author indicate that the advice has been tested in the real world (and not a single instance)? And, if so, what were the (mixed) results? Otherwise, good review of what might be a valuable aid to a person at this point in their timeline of life.

A truly necessary resource for parents and students heading to college. Its never too early to plan ahead or gain knowledge on what to expect or do better. Pursuing higher education, avoiding debt, and saving for retirement is all covered in this little book.

[Spirit Wandering]

It seems that this book provides a lot of practical advice to new college students, a book that is much needed by a lot of young adults starting out their career
