The Old Money Book | Honest book Review

The old money book by Byron Tully, I found this book on Amazon and right now you can purchase it on kindle for about $2.99, it has around 158 pages and I read it in less than a week. I think you can expect to read this book in less than 4 hours, which if you make $20 bucks an hour it’s an $80 investments plus 2.99 Original Book Notes: https://ko-fi.com/s/9f5586afcd In the end I’ll tell you If its worth the money. I like to do my book reviews differently, so instead of giving you a summary I’ll tell you the nuggets I found and how I plan to objectively apply them to my life. 1. Manners and etiquette - For some reason, I don’t know why - It may be my upbringing and how we look down on people who behave with manners - But I always took pride in not really worry about table manners or to probably dress I learned in this book: - How to look at a table with all these forks and spoons - And be able to know how to manage it - And how to set my cutlery to let the staff know what’s next Tip: I always thought this was ridiculous, but it makes sense to me now. I should coordinate myself appropriately if I am at one of these places. 2. Travel - People that say they can't travel just don’t make it a priority - Travel is so important beucase you can learn, explore, create memories and much more - People say they can travel but have $500 car payments and $300 designing purses ( even your cable bill could save enough for a decent trip ) I learned: - Get organized beforehand - Where do you want to go, what do you want to see, and what do you want to do. - Buy tickets in advance, make accommodation in advance, and worry about the culture not staying in luxury ( save your money ) Problem: the people who want to travel to lay on a beach, drink, and do nothing, may have emotional issues that are unaddressed Example: we want to go to Lima Peru, if we buy tickets a month in advance instead of paying over $1000 for tickets we could pay $500 bucks ( by buying month in advance ) 3. Quality Clothes and Furniture - I took pride in buying used clothing and not paying retail - And I’m happy I did - But their was just one more part I was missing ( buying quality over quanty and dressing for the occasion and buying timeless clothing ) I learned - Sports clothes are for sports not casual - Buying a pair of leather shoes is better than 3 pairs of garbage material shoes - So me and my wife, will be shopping for quality clothes at the best price, whether in outlets or used ( but quality first) and style we can use for years to come - We have no objective of garnering attention 4. Staff 5. Socialization 6. Reading - This is something that made me who I am today - Reading taught me all the things that my neighborhood and my surroundings could not - It saved me hours and hours I learned: - Teach your kids to read early - Replace screens with books - Read interesting books, plays, poems, history, and biographies Tip: I’m big on nonfiction but this makes a lot of sense 7. Housing I learned: - The rich care about affordability, functionality, and safety - This is not about buying a big house to fill it with garbage or impress people - I also liked how they fill their home décor with pictures that are family and trips and more - They also have painted walls, not just a white house, like a maniac 8. Privacy - For a long time I’ve hated the idea of sharing everything I do on social media - I don’t like people knowing my business - I like coming home and not being at work if that makes sense - I also don’t like how people feel so comfortable in asking personal questions 9. Don’t solve emotional problems with Money - Why do you need a car you can't afford - Why do you need to go shopping all the time - Why do you think you are what you wear A lot of people have psychological issues and insecurities that they try to fix with bad money habits 10. Kids - Don’t raise annoying kids - Teach them manners - Teach them to read Take great pride in their education * PRO TIP* INFORMATION IS EVERYTHING ✔ Help Us Reach 600,000 Subscribers: https://goo.gl/0wvm6w 😎All My Social Media😎 Link: https://linktr.ee/tommybryson --- Disclosure & Educational Disclaimer: Some links in this video may be affiliate links, and I may earn a commission.
