Money Out Loud: All the Financial Stuff No One Taught Us by Berna Anat
3.5
I'm not sure what possessed me to add this book to my TBR, but once it was there, I didn't want to take it off. I've learned some finance things, but maybe not enough, and maybe it'll be a good book for my classroom library and/or to give my kids.
Coming clean: Anat taught me some things about money that I didn't know, either, and I am pleased about that. Her delivery is fairly current in lingo and usage, which will speak to a specific demographic, but not everyone. I won't give this book to my FIL, who taught econ in colleges for decades; he won't get it. But my teenaged son or my college-aged daughter? Yeah, they'll understand. I also appreciate the very real attention to emotions that Anat offers, right from chapter one with the money story all the way to the end, with recognition of how people might feel after reading the book all the way through. Her chapters on saving and investing were especially solid - loved it!
