I am not in any way affiliated with anyone affiliated with this book. I did this review simply because I wanted to try out a different format of proving value to your finances through book recommendations. Thus far, I still do not get paid for doing this show and there is no sponsored content anywhere. I do it for my personal crusade for teaching financial literacy.
I will be accepting entries into the drawing through next Wednesday night (6/24) at 11:59PM. I’ll see you guys next week when we talk about stocks!
