Wallet Street by Allison King

For any reader seeking to achieve financial freedom and escape the vicious cycle of borrowing and debt, Wallet Street: Let’s Talk Personal Finance by Allison King is an accessible and realistic manual for a more stable future. Though it is targeted at Gen Xers (the full subtitle is 7 Proven Strategies for Gen Xers to Grow Their Income in 30 Days. How to Get Out of Debt, Save More Money and Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck), the ten sections of advice are applicable for anyone looking to make a change, particularly the content on smart financial habits, diversifying income streams, investing for the future, and business design. The real-world anecdotes from each section are compelling and encouraging, though some of the upfront narration in each chapter can be redundant or tangential, where King’s aspirational language and endless optimism can seem less practical. A final editorial polish of these areas would make the book easier to absorb, but overall this is a comprehensive and inspiring guide.
