I really like this kind of book, it's giving some new knowledge (or instilting some old ones) and blank lines for me to exercise. I'd say it's more marketed towards Americans, and I'm fine with it, I'm taking what I can take; but I still could learn some things. Wish we could have a digital edited version for the accounting demo, it looks clean yet pretty minimal so I'm interested to print it out and use it daily.

I wish I had this book when I was younger. Its a great workbook that makes financial literacy understandable and makes it work for everyone.

I think it was smart to make it a workbook since it really makes it personable.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I thought this was really well done! The format and graphics were great. The content wasn't dumbed down, but was simple enough for a beginner to understand. This would make a great gift for a recent college grad.

I loved the workbook format for this title! It was easy to understand, easy to read, and was not overwhelming with how the book was set up and styled. It also gave a nice overview of money and personal finance so I think that anyone on this sort of journey could benefit from its read!

The New Rules of Money By Bourree Lam and Julia Carpenter is a beginner's guide and workbook for people wanting to learn how to manage finances. Money isn't intuitive or fun but a workbook like The New Rules of Money can help people put every aspect of budgeting and saving and creating an estate plan for those they want to leave their hard earned savings. Additionally, this would be great for young students to people who are finally feeling as if they want to learn without feeling overwhelmed by too much detail.
Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
