Personal finance for young adults by Ignatius Beard

Post by Charmaine Mahlangu »

Saving. Has it ever been easy? Never. I'm heading to my thirties and I still cant get it right. Am I the only one who feels like I am crucifying myself whenever it has to be done? Well Ignatius Beard has turned it into a financial adventure for people like me and you are most likely to love the field trip.

Seventy three percent of millenials are indeed living from paycheck to paycheck. "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the ones you did do . So sail away from the harbour. Explore, Dream ,Discover" - Mark Twain. The book is aimed at helping young people avoid financial catastrophes. Helping them embark on a transformative journey to set sail on financial mastery. Why the youth? Think about it , they are young so the sooner they fail , the better.

Financial decisions are not for the faint hearted . A growth mindset is essential. What is a growth mindset? A growth mindset embodies the idea that given enough time, focused effort, faithful discipline , most skills or experiences can be achieved. How on earth do we start? Where do we start? How successful is this strategy? Theres only one way to find out. Grab yourself a copy of Ignatius Beard's Personal finance for young adults .

At my age I still think I do not need a financial manual for young adults but my pockets tell a different story. Going through the book ,you cant help but feel like your being lectured about the amount of times you shopped impulsively but I enjoyed it. Learning about financial literacy is something you only care about after learning the consequences of not knowing about it.

The jargon was easy to read and understand and the tone was optimistic and that made reading the book exciting. The author shared little of his experiences on how he got this far on knowing about this. I would have loved to know how many of his financial mistakes led him here. A 4 out of 5 rating from me on this book .It was straight forward neat. There was little to no fault in the book and I would gladly read it again.
