Summary
Ten timely financial steps to build the life you really want。
The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to rethink everything。 Now， when it comes to envisioning a post-pandemic future， noted financial expert Jill Schlesinger hears one question over and over: How far should I really go to change my life？
The Great Money Reset is your guide to getting serious and building your best life。 A road map for navigating our present era， this book shows us how to take advantage of the seismic changes unfurling all around us to make big life improvements。 Whether it’s negotiating a better deal with your boss， starting or selling a business， moving to a new locale， retraining for a new career， taking time off to find yourself， or saying “the heck with it” and retiring early， The Great Money Reset provides an essential frame-work for strategizing and planning your next move。
Is quitting your job a wise decision or the biggest mistake of your life？ Should you pursue that graduate degree or are you throwing away your money for a few meaningless letters after your name？ What kinds of lifestyle sacrifices will you need to make—and could you tolerate—in order to realize your dreams？ What tax and investment moves should you make to secure your future as you head into uncharted territory？ And how can you put yourself in a strong position to undertake future life transitions that you can’t fully imagine now？
The Great Money Reset answers these and many other questions with Jill’s signature clarity， wit， and no-nonsense honesty。 You’ll learn how to change your work， change your wealth， and change your life。
In ten simple steps， this book empowers you to break free of your unsatisfying pre-pandemic reality and thrive， regardless of whatever surprises might come next。

I feel entirely overwhelmed by finances。 Unfortunately， I don't always understand it as well as I'd like to。 This book is so easy to read; even I can read it！ It was nice to see that the author wasn't just concerned with monetary matters but with how money affects one's life。 The first step toward success is self-awareness， or realizing that you can achieve your goals by deliberate action。 All of it is up to you。 That there was more than one correct answer was appealing to me。 As a result， it be I feel entirely overwhelmed by finances。 Unfortunately， I don't always understand it as well as I'd like to。 This book is so easy to read; even I can read it！ It was nice to see that the author wasn't just concerned with monetary matters but with how money affects one's life。 The first step toward success is self-awareness， or realizing that you can achieve your goals by deliberate action。 All of it is up to you。 That there was more than one correct answer was appealing to me。 As a result， it became clear how important it is to take care of your financial well-being if you want to pursue your interests。 This was one of the rare books about money that I enjoyed。 This advance reading copy was provided courtesy of NetGalley and St。 Martin's Press in January 2023。 。。。more

3。5As a committed daily listener to Jill on Money， I knew I was going to love this book before I even started。I read the whole thing in Jill's humorous， no nonsense tone and got a little thrill whenever I recognized a story from the podcast。Did the book offer a ton of information that I wouldn't have gleaned from my daily listens to the pod？ Probably not。 But it does put it all in one place so you don't need to compile all the steps and things to think about yourself by taking little bits of inf 3。5As a committed daily listener to Jill on Money， I knew I was going to love this book before I even started。I read the whole thing in Jill's humorous， no nonsense tone and got a little thrill whenever I recognized a story from the podcast。Did the book offer a ton of information that I wouldn't have gleaned from my daily listens to the pod？ Probably not。 But it does put it all in one place so you don't need to compile all the steps and things to think about yourself by taking little bits of information from dozens of different episodes。 I enjoyed it but depending on availability I'd probably recommend the audiobook for friends who are less familiar with Jill's tone of voice and humor to help them understand her intonation a little more！ 。。。more

This is a guide for those that are financially stable and are looking to make a career shift。 Which is great for them， but for those of us not in that position it is not very helpful。 So while this is not your typical finance book， it is also not for everyone。

A really great （dare I say fun） about getting your finances in order for the future。 A perfect book to start the year with。Even as a Canadian there was plenty to learn in here （it is very US focused， but the lessons translate well）。Jill does an excellent job keeping things simple and to the point。 If you want to take care of your financial future， I'd highly recommend it。 A really great （dare I say fun） about getting your finances in order for the future。 A perfect book to start the year with。Even as a Canadian there was plenty to learn in here （it is very US focused， but the lessons translate well）。Jill does an excellent job keeping things simple and to the point。 If you want to take care of your financial future， I'd highly recommend it。 。。。more

This book covers personal finance for a post-COVID world， specifically， addressing how you may want to adjust your financial plan based on how the pandemic has made you rethink your life。 A lot of us found that when our daily life was interrupted， we realized that we weren’t totally happy with the way things were going， and I found this inspirational to hear about some of the big changes others were making。 For myself， I don’t feel the need to do a “great money reset”， but I still got ideas for This book covers personal finance for a post-COVID world， specifically， addressing how you may want to adjust your financial plan based on how the pandemic has made you rethink your life。 A lot of us found that when our daily life was interrupted， we realized that we weren’t totally happy with the way things were going， and I found this inspirational to hear about some of the big changes others were making。 For myself， I don’t feel the need to do a “great money reset”， but I still got ideas for smaller changes I may want to make。 I would say about half the book focused on current events and a true reset， and half was more personal finance 102。 But it’s well-written， a very easy read with an approachable tone， and includes both advice and personal stories to illustrate the tips。 。。。more

I'll say it - Finance can be an overwhelming topic for me。 I want to understand it more， and sometimes， er， most of the time， I just don't。 This book makes the topic so accessible even for someone like me！ What I really liked is that this isn't just about money， but it's about looking at money in the context of your life。 It isn't just about amassing wealth， rather it leads with figuring out what you want and need and how to make informed decisions around to get there。 Throughout， it also offers I'll say it - Finance can be an overwhelming topic for me。 I want to understand it more， and sometimes， er， most of the time， I just don't。 This book makes the topic so accessible even for someone like me！ What I really liked is that this isn't just about money， but it's about looking at money in the context of your life。 It isn't just about amassing wealth， rather it leads with figuring out what you want and need and how to make informed decisions around to get there。 Throughout， it also offers options。 What works for one person might not work for someone else， and I appreciated there wasn't just one prescribed path。 Overall， this was a really strong reflection of what financial health and care is within the scope of your life and passions。 It's a hard sell for me to dig a finance book， but this one achieved that！ Thanks to NetGalley and St。 Martins Press for the early look at this January 2023 release。 。。。more

This book comes at the right time -- post pandemic - many of us are wondering what are we doing with our lives and as a consequence how can us looking at our money reset help guide us to new choices。 What I particularly liked about this book is that it is full of practical tips -- not theory。 Each chapter has case studies and personal stories that really help illustrate the points -- so there is something for everyone in this book regardless of where you are at in your career or life。 At the end This book comes at the right time -- post pandemic - many of us are wondering what are we doing with our lives and as a consequence how can us looking at our money reset help guide us to new choices。 What I particularly liked about this book is that it is full of practical tips -- not theory。 Each chapter has case studies and personal stories that really help illustrate the points -- so there is something for everyone in this book regardless of where you are at in your career or life。 At the end of each chapter is a summary of the key tips which I also like。 There are ten chapters and my favorite was to challenge our own spending assumptions/beliefs we set for ourselves。 What is great about this book is it is not really an investing book but rather has us self-reflect on our beliefs， our choices to help identify where a reset is helpful。 Don't get me wrong -- there are chapters on investing and taxes and whether to seek more education， or sell or buy a business but the underlying theme is to push us to identify our overall goal。 To me， that is what makes this book unique and extremely timely！ I recommend this book。Thank you to Netgalley and St。 Martin's Press for the ARC in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

Jill Schlesinger is back with a great new money book that really makes you think about what you NEED to think about before making huge life decisions。During the pandemic， many people re-evaluated their lives， their careers， and even their retirements。The Author walks a person through what they should think about before making a drastic change in circumstances。Giving examples of real people， the book delves into many situations that ordinary people may find themselves in。 This is a great book to Jill Schlesinger is back with a great new money book that really makes you think about what you NEED to think about before making huge life decisions。During the pandemic， many people re-evaluated their lives， their careers， and even their retirements。The Author walks a person through what they should think about before making a drastic change in circumstances。Giving examples of real people， the book delves into many situations that ordinary people may find themselves in。 This is a great book to read before contemplating any changes in your life， your living situation or work place。Thank you to the Publisher and to Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for this honest review。 。。。more

This was an excellent book on personal finance and career direction。 The author's tone was highly readable， and the advice was sound and timely。 Most of the book deals with life after the pandemic and the need to re-think your life and your finances after a time of tremendous change。 Even though I had already gone through some major changes in my life， I found the book interesting and helpful。 This was an excellent book on personal finance and career direction。 The author's tone was highly readable， and the advice was sound and timely。 Most of the book deals with life after the pandemic and the need to re-think your life and your finances after a time of tremendous change。 Even though I had already gone through some major changes in my life， I found the book interesting and helpful。 。。。more

The Great Money Reset is one of several "post-pandemic and how to deal with your finances book" that has appeared in the last few months。 Like others， the work offers guidance in how to do something different， as in really different。 Hence the title of The Great Money Reset。Author Jill Schlesinger is often seen on the CBS News and is the host of a podcast （Jill on Money） and has a nice website。 I don't know that Schlesinger is the first to use the phrase "great money reset" although that doesn't The Great Money Reset is one of several "post-pandemic and how to deal with your finances book" that has appeared in the last few months。 Like others， the work offers guidance in how to do something different， as in really different。 Hence the title of The Great Money Reset。Author Jill Schlesinger is often seen on the CBS News and is the host of a podcast （Jill on Money） and has a nice website。 I don't know that Schlesinger is the first to use the phrase "great money reset" although that doesn't matter really。 It's sort of like after the 2008 "Great Recession" and everything was referred to as the "New Normal。"The book is a tidy 10 chapters， with titles that clearly speak about the contents。 Among the subjects: invest in you， the IRS is your friend; starting a new business or other venture; put your house in order， etc。 The book is full of wisdom and good advice， but most of it is Personal Finance 101。 If you are looking for something engaging and deep this isn't it。The writing is clear and concise。 My biggest criticism is that many of the "real people" that the author uses as examples really don't need her guidance。 There was one couple who were in their 40s and had already amassed a net worth of over $2 million and considering retiring early。 I found that most of the examples were people who were doing quite well financially and probably could afford a reset of some magnitude。Which made me wonder: What about the people who are working in the gig economy， have no benefits， and struggling to keep up with this ludicrous inflation we are all dealing with？ Or the millions of teachers， service workers， and low paid healthcare professionals （not doctors and nurses） that barely bring home a living wage？ What sort of opportunity is there for those folks to have a great money reset？ I'm not advocating socialism and income equality， as much as the examples I read were from people who were doing pretty well。I'm retired and was curious to her message for retirees。 Regretfully there isn't much advice beyond the tax advantages of a Roth IRA and the typical discussion that follows。。 We don't exist， at least that I recall reading about。 That's OK。 I get it， we are out of the workforce （well， not really as about 30-40% of retirees work a little here and there according to AARP） and not as interesting。 But retirees face just as many "reset" questions and its too bad there were not any examples for us。 Such as the big reset all retirees face when they leave a job and suddenly have fours on their calendar to fill and don't have a clue on how to do it。 I have a neighbor who won't retire for this very reason， and he is 70 and doesn't have a clue what he will do once retired。 Too many retirees are totally dependent on Social Security as their only means of monthly income。I received an Advance Review Copy and am sharing this original review。 I thank the publisher and author and NetGalley for the opportunity to read it。 。。。more

A collection of personal stories， as well as advice， for those looking to "reset" their money plan。 Nothing new， just reminders for things to look into or check。 The author refers a lot to "after the pandemic"， as the book is definitely up to date for 2022。 A quick read， can be flipped through to whatever section you chose to read。 Thanks to NetGalley & Ms Schlesinger， as well as St Martin's Press for the preview in exchange for an honest review。 A collection of personal stories， as well as advice， for those looking to "reset" their money plan。 Nothing new， just reminders for things to look into or check。 The author refers a lot to "after the pandemic"， as the book is definitely up to date for 2022。 A quick read， can be flipped through to whatever section you chose to read。 Thanks to NetGalley & Ms Schlesinger， as well as St Martin's Press for the preview in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
