How to Get Rich Before 30 by A. B. Stanley is a nonfiction book wherein the author offers their point of view in Investing Guide for Teens and Young Adults to Achieve Financial Freedom as Early as Possible. Stanley breaks the book down into eight interconnected parts, from mindset, goals, and the importance of starting early, to positing the highest probability of increasing income, investing in multiple forms, minimizing debt, and staying the course. Throughout, Stanley provides anecdotal stories and scenarios with the intent to inspire and tackles some of the more nuanced basics while building on that foundation to branch out in alternative directions.

A. B. Stanley has put together a book that has a lot to offer the next generation of investors in How to Get Rich Before 30, something that I almost missed because of the title feeling a bit on the gimmicky side. There are a great many factors that go into earnings and wealth growth but often the simplest are overlooked. Stanley does well in connecting the dots without attempting to reinvent the wheel, providing practical advice for those who are more forward-thinking in their approach to their financial future. There are some recommendations that I don't entirely agree with. Income inequality isn't a concession made for readers who would like to pull themselves up by their bootstraps—but first, they need to actually have the boots—and in this regard, it is perhaps those who need this advice the most that will not have access to it. Still, for those who are starting on a clean and even plate, there's a lot of good to be learned from this book and a little something for everyone.

How to Get Rich Before 30: Investing Guide for Teens and Young Adults to Achieve Financial Freedom as Early as Possible by A.B. Stanley is a great introduction to savings and investing at any age. This is directed toward teens and young adults but serves as a practical blueprint for saving and investing at any age. Having the right attitude, especially about money, identifies and reinforces the importance of a positive mindset. Stanley introduces readers to the Ramsey Money Principle – actualizing financial goals by creating a monthly budget, spending less than what you earn, and not accumulating unnecessary debt. Important concepts like the power of compound interest are discussed, as are the differences between saving and investing while providing useful tips on how to track financial progress and manage an investment portfolio.

Stanley is a part-time coach and a lifelong investor whom his father had taught, and he’s now paying it forward by teaching his own children the importance of saving and investing as well as others who are ready to take charge of their financial future. Some of the author’s revelations aren’t revelations – more like common sense principles – yet their reinforcement is important. Building multiple income streams by starting a side business, turning hobbies into money, and setting up a passive income all receive their due under the author’s tutelage. Charts are provided that illustrate how compound interest works, as are scenarios that provide relatable saving and investment examples. Stanley also pays homage to the value of a tax-free or tax-deferred investment plan and also lists several of them. While these investment plans are U.S. specific, most countries offer their own versions, and again, the charts he provides are invaluable in underscoring the importance of these plans.

Perhaps the most important underlying message is that there’s no need to impress anyone. Living beyond your means or living to impress your family, friends, and neighbors won’t put you on the track to wealth. Setting clear financial goals, not accumulating unnecessary debt, and always educating yourself will get you to your goals. Sound advice told in a no-nonsense, relatable manner makes How to Get Rich Before 30 a valuable book for anyone wanting to achieve their financial future.

When it comes to investment, it is best to start early as explained by A. B. Stanley. Coming from a "part-time coach and a lifelong investor", How To Get Rich Before 30 contains the best practices, habits, and information needed for young adults and teenagers to realize financial freedom early in life: the basics of investment, how to raise money for investment, different types of investments and how to recognize the ones with the highest returns, how to set clear financial goals and achieve them, and how to reduce expenses and develop the right mindset about money. How To Get Rich Before 30 is a must-have for every teenager and young adult who wishes to transform from not having enough to having lifelong wealth.

I liked that the book is not only about becoming rich but also about developing great habits for achieving a successful and fulfilling life. A. B. Stanley details the value of learning and reading like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates and cutting according to one's cloth instead of showing off and trying to catch up with others. This is an important lesson for a generation growing up in an age that is heavily influenced by social media trends. As someone who has a background in economics, I totally agree with the detailed, all-encompassing suggestions—from calculations for creating budgets and setting financial goals to app references and practical guides that target money-draining habits like monthly subscriptions to online streaming services. Books like How To Get Rich Before 30 should be taught in schools around the world as early financial education needs to be taken more seriously!
