The book is written to be read by the child but works just as well if the parents would like to read it and teach their student or young adult.

Dean Allen started with nothing and was able to retire five years ago at the age of 51. His normal retirement age is 67, so he was able to retire very early. He enjoys sharing how he was able to accomplish that with young adults, so they can have the same opportunity.

His passion is educating young adults about finances. With money being the number one cause of divorce and so many adults living paycheck to paycheck, he wants to help young adults start with good money habits, so they won’t have the same problems.

He enjoys guest speaking at local high schools and colleges. You can see where he is speaking at www.youngadultmoneyadvice.com

Dean is married with two daughters. His wife is a stay at home mom, his oldest daughter is a sophomore in college, and his youngest daughter is a freshman in high school.

An excellent financial guide for young adults just starting to invest in their financial future.

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2021

Verified Purchase

I purchased this book for each of my children as they graduated from college and were just beginning their careers. I wish I had known about this book when they were in high school...could have started even sooner. It is an excellent guide to help young adults understand financial responsibility and how beginning to invest in their financial future now with simple smart planning will have the greatest impact for financial security. It is a fast easy read that catapulted my children into immediately revising their spending habits which yielded them rewards quickly. It also removed the barrier of fear to take the first step. Highly recommend this invaluable book.-LD

Just finished this and it is a very good book to help parents assist their children with understanding finances. It is very readable and has a lot of good advice such as the downstream implications of good grades and higher education. There is a good chart to highlight the financial principle of compounding. It is also chock full of tips on the use of credit cards and making various types of purchases. I would recommend this highly.

The book, "Make Me Rich", is an interesting book. It is full of information and links to Financial Web pages. It includes charts and graphs that illustrate the points he is trying to show the reader. Mr. Alan says that his book in intended for high school children, but I believe that his book should be read by anyone that is interested in improving his or her financial knowledge.

There is digital gold in this book!

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2023

“This book is an easy read and made a lasting impression on our family. It's ok to be a frugal consumer to make us rich.”

I highlighted the heck out of this eBook. This is the book I wish I had written/read back in 2018 when it was originally published. There are so many great insights in the book. My wife and I were talking about pages we read, days after buying the paperback and eBook.

Insights learned:
-Like in Europe, run your major electrical appliances in the early morning hours (2 AM to 5 AM), to save money
-Invest in Mutual Funds that track the stock market, not in individual stocks (aka diversify)

Page 25 - "The stock market has historically earned 10% per year."

Page 28 - the graph was vertical, needs to be horizontal, and the dates upside down
only invest money in the stock market that you will keep investing for at least 10 years
It's NOT for college funds.

Page 30 - good info about Index Mutual funds.

Page 35 - "One thing you should always do is be happy with where you are in life now."

Page 37 - Jobs look really good on a scholarship application and will give you an advantage over students that don't work.

Page 48 - Scholarships, some links and mentioned some that his daughter applied for

Page 56 - has the answer to the scholarship question, and is an eye-opener to what one can achieve if they focus on investing time in the right things for college and beyond $957,500

Page 61 - Living below your means is not something an average person will do these days

Page 63 - I paid $149 to have an expert check out my daughter's Honda Civic

Page 85 - books are expensive at college, good recommendations on where to save and the process for each as well

Page 87 - Surprised that the author endorsed the use of credit cards, especially as debt today is in the trillions. Yes it's good to get some airmiles, but credit cards are really designed to get you in debt, nothing else, so you do need to be super disciplined to track everything and always have a zero balance at the end of the month, So the banks don't charge the 25% APR each month and you are not working for the banks, in addition to going to college, and all the other tasks your student will be doing and learning

Page 93 - Good info. about returns. Never keep anything that you don't want, or doesn't work as expected. Return it. USA is the leader in offering consumer-friendly returns!

Page 95 - Insurance: this is so important to read, as you may end up paying every year for something you will never get a return on (ROI)

Page 99 - Medical bills, so important to learn how medical and insurance companies work together to make money off of you. Get the cash price!

Page 103 - Watch less TV. Don't watch any period. Eliminate the programming device!

Page 106 - Wash clothes and dishes in the evening, when utility companies charge less.

If you are looking for a shorter version of this book, aimed at teenagers, you may find it here: Financial Freedom for Your Teenager: The Path to Financial Success for High School and College Students .

**For the author**

Missing info about taxes, like income tax, investment taxes etc. Only BIG tax mentioned was on property taxes on page 106.

Missing info about how both parents talk together making better financial decisions. Suggestion: Have an About section on how the author's wife contributed to their daughter's and his success.

Missing info about Fico score - that score that goes up when you get into more debt, and goes down when you have no debt!

Missing, does not mention his website that is in the book description within the ebook/paperback, or where is the scholarship quiz link?

Well done Mr. Dean Allen!

A Worthwhile Investment!

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2018

I have never read a book like this before. I probably would not have given it a second look; because I'm doing ok with my finances. I always thought these type of books were for people who were struggling financially. But my son said he heard Mr. Allen speak, to him and his classmates, and he came home motivated to start saving money for retirement. I didn't think that a kid needed to worry about that, at 16 years old. My son tried to explain to me the principles laid out in the lecture, but he didn't have all the details and specifics. My son said that Mr. Allen had a book out, so I decided to check it out.

All I can say is WOW! So much info in there that I never thought of. Makes me want a "do-over" for my finances. We have already started to put some of these into practice. I am very excited to see my boys saving money and thinking beyond their immediate gratification of the latest smart phone, or gaming system.
