How do most people learn about personal finance? Usually, the hard way, from bad experiences. Personal Finance Under One Hour is the no-nonsense guide for anyone tired of gimmicks, jargon, or wasting time. This book condenses decades of financial experience into a powerful one-hour read that gives you the knowledge to make smarter money decisions - without needing a degree or a financial advisor on call.

Perfect for busy professionals, young adults, or anyone looking to get financially savvy fast, this guide breaks personal finance into six easy-to-read, 10-minute sections. With bolded key points for quick scanning, real-world-tested recommendations, and straightforward guidance, you'll learn how to take control of your budget, credit, savings, and investments - even if you're starting from scratch.

Steve V, Amazon Review

“The authors take every day concepts and put a common sense spin on them. Very clear to understand and always good to see these reminders."

GQ, Amazon Review

"This is a basic introduction to six practical, day-to-day matters of personal finance. The author does not purport to offer any silver bullets, merely to define and elucidate the principles for prudent decision making, and to set oneself on firm footing. Each chapter is a self-contained and independent topic which can be read and understood by itself. Recommended for those who wish to begin securing their future, but don't know where or how to begin. At this price, and for only (approximately) an hour's time commitment, this (e)book is low-risk investment."

Flavius J, Amazon Review

“Short and concise. Great information in an easy-to-digest format.”

Author Bio

My name is Andrew W. Brown

​My fascination with reading began in childhood and grew into a passion for non-fiction during my college years. After noticing the repetitive and lengthy nature of many business and self-help books, I was inspired to create a more efficient way to learn. With a professional background in finance, I founded Under One Hour to provide high-quality, concise content on a variety of topics, specializing in finance.
