Review of Get WalletWise
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Get WalletWise" by Ken Remsen.]
With the steady rise of debt worldwide, financial intelligence is needed more than ever to come out of this sinkhole. Be it personal or nation-wise, lack of proper knowledge is detrimental, and Get WalletWise provides valuable insight into financial intelligence. Ken Remsen does an excellent job of bringing this knowledge to an easy-to-reach level and with a realistic take.
Ken Remsen, a financial coach, uses his successes and failures to teach us a formula that works and is still working for him in terms of navigating the pitfalls on our way to financial freedom. What are the untold dangers of student loans? Do the credit card companies have our best interests at heart?
Although money problems are a universal phenomenon, this book seems tailored to Americans; they can relate to the primary message. The topics include student loans, credit cards, debt traps, and general financial intelligence. Even for folks in developing countries, it serves as a source of valuable pre-knowledge if they are planning on immigrating and living in America.
I commend the author on his attention to detail. He provided extra reading materials for every topic he addressed as book recommendations. Also, there were tons of websites strewn across the pages. I checked out a couple of the websites and was amazed at the helpful information they contained. The author did his due diligence and fact-checks. It was an absolute delight to read this book.
My biggest take-home was on the divorce and retirement topics. They were an eye-opener, especially with the growing rate of failed marriages stemming from financial problems. The author provided concrete information on how to combat this. A retirement plan should be of the utmost importance because it would be an injustice on your part to be penniless in your latter years.
His writing style was comforting because he wrote from a wise friend's point of view who wants to help you out. He provided pictures where necessary. He also used his life stories to show a level of relatability. Examples were the list of cars his father used over the years and the different jobs he had to do.
The only irk I had was on the editing. The improper use of hyphens was quite alarming. Some pages had multiple errors. Get WalletWise would need another round of professional editing to fix these problems. I would have to rate it 3 out of 4 stars. Besides the errors, there was nothing to dislike. I would recommend it to Americans dealing with financial issues resulting from student loans or credit card charges. However, there should be helpful knowledge for everyone from all walks of life.
