Can Personal Finance Books Really Help the Average Person?

Have you ever felt as if all the forces in the universe were stacked against you improving your financial situation?

That doesn’t need to be the case!

Today, Doug brings back one of the Goldstein On Gelt podcast’s most popular guests, Joe Saul-Sehy to discuss Joe’s new book, Stacked (co-written by Goldstein On Gelt former guest, Emily Guy Birken).

This book provides a huge amount of information about personal finance in a way that’s fun to read and inspirational. Doug and Joe discuss whether there are certain people who should NOT keep track of their money. They also answer the question about whether you should buy stuff when you can get 0% financing (spoiler: Free money has consequences.). Finally, they dive into the topic of mortgages, how they should be structured, and the benefits of paying it off early.
