Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Automatic Wealth : The Six Steps to Financial Independence
Michael Masterson · 2008
🎙 Narrated by Alexandra O'Karma (Recorded Books edition); a separate edition lists Rick Rohan as narrator — multiple audiobook editions exist
74/100
👍 Worth It
A WSJ bestseller with real economist endorsements, this one earns its spot with a concrete, multi-vehicle system spanning real estate, consulting, and habits rather than one narrow trick — though the real-estate chapters get repetitive. Narrator credits are muddled across editions, so double-check which version you're grabbing before you buy.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
▶ Listen to a sample
🎙 Narration: fine Multiple audiobook editions exist with different narrators (Alexandra O'Karma vs. Rick Rohan) — can't confirm which one you'll get, so treat as edition-dependent.
