Millionaire Mission by Brian Preston is a practical 9-step plan (the Financial Order of Operations) to becoming a millionaire by the time you hit retirement age. Finances are something that interests me, and I've done a lot of my own research, read a lot of books, and listened to a lot of podcasts and YouTube videos. Millionaire Mission is one of my favorite books on this subject. It is a great resource for learning the basics and beyond of personal financial success, without the guilt trips, sermonizing, or get-rich-quick extremes of some of the other financial "gurus" out there. The 9 steps are simple and straightforward, although not necessarily easy. This will take work, and some discipline and sacrifices will be involved. Don't be intimidate though - there are plenty of worksheets and checklists provided to help you plan and get organized!

A variety of topics are covered, including how to handle:
-credit cards
-buying your first house (and subsequent ones)
-buying a car
-student loans (with lists of which majors are easiest and hardest to pay off student loans for)
-planning for emergency expenses
-methods for prioritizing and paying off debt
-future expense planning (529 plans, ABLE accounts, vacations, etc)
-taking advantage of various retirement accounts (401k/403b, IRAs, brokerage accounts, as well as options for higher income earners)
-and lots more

I highly recommend Millionaire Mission by Brian Preston (5/5 stars). This plan is perfect for most people most of the time - it's not overly complicated, nor extreme, and can be started at any age. Brian Preston presents this path to financial success with grace and optimism, providing an approach to finances that is reasonable, practical, and that balances saving for the future with living your life well now.

Thank you to NetGalley, Brian Preston, and BenBella Books for the opportunity to read the ARC of this book. I was not required to provide a review and all opinions expressed are my own.

I hadnt heard of the show. The book shows a nice 9 step plan on building abundance. You learn the importance of investing and saving early. All reasonable and doable ideas. If you already follow some of these steps, its good to revisit plans or attend to higher important stuff. Covering highest deductible seems like a good idea. Keep those medical bills handy if you want to make use of those triple tax savings of HSA.

As a believer in the FIRE movement, this book reaffirmed my life choices.

The author writes in a no-nonsense, straight forward manner. He will not tell you to stay away from certain things. He educates by saying find something within your price range. Or wait till you get a bit more money, then afford that Corvette.

I thought that there was something for everyone. Starting with the Financial Order of Operations, and going into wealth building, every single person reading the book will glean something new.

The author patiently explains important concepts like compounding interest/time plus money=spectacular beautiful tomorrows.

The worksheets in the back of the book was also really nice. Best worksheets I have ever seen.

This book is for everyone. Money touches everything in your life, so everyone should read this book.

An amazing guide to sustainable wealth. My wife and I are on the FIRE path and this book reinforces what we are have done right (we are on step 6 of the FOO) From his wonderful podcast to this book Brian Preston shows that anyone can make the smart financial decisions you need to make for wealth. Nothing flashy or preachy just good solid advice.
