Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Personal Finance For Dummies : 9th Edition
Eric Tyson, MBA · 2019
🎙 Narrated by Steven Jay Cohen
78/100
👍 Worth It
A real workhorse of a reference — if you want one book that covers budgeting through retirement without missing much, Tyson's classic earns its long shelf life and award pedigree. Steven Jay Cohen's narration is solid if unremarkable across a hefty 20-plus hours, so treat this more as a listen-in-chunks reference than a page-turner.
