Sam and Rob, although neither of those are their real first names, are parents of 14 living in Maryland. Sam stays home with her kids and Rob works at a tech company. Many of their kids are grown and gone, but a few are still living at home, working their way through school.

This book was randomly surfaced to me in a search result and I was intrigued. I watched a few videos with the authors and decided to purchase a copy.

Their first book, Sam and Rob write like parents to their mature child. It’s not patronizing, it’s just parenting. I was hoping for a lot more meat, but at the end of 150 pages, I felt like there wasn’t much new insight. I was most disappointed at the lack of information about giving strategy. I don’t know how they think about stewardship and that’s what I was really hoping for. Their money philosophy is an amalgamation of Dave Ramsey, FIRE, and a few other money personalities.

The book was well written and pleasant, this just isn’t the “one book” I’d recommend to someone looking to improve their finances.

Would I recommend: NO
