Product Details
Web ID: 16835681Have a little faith
Simple Money, Rich life is a Christian financial book written by Bob Lotich to help you find your passion and purpose in life through listening to and trusting God. I really liked this book. I picked it up because he’s a Christian author and I was curious about how to intertwine money and faith. This book is put together in quick, easy to understand chapters to help you figure out your financial plan/job purpose. Bob does include his wife in the book, but I skipped over her parts because they really didn’t add anything to the book, in my opinion. I do love that the book gives you ideas/steps to take for business owners, freelancers, and employees. Bob also had many tools throughout the book that are helpful and necessary for fighting your fears and figuring out your journey. I recommend buying the actual book versus a digital copy so you can highlight, tab, and take notes.

New Information
When Bob Lotich reached out and asked me to review his book I was a little hesitant. I was at the point where I was not taking a lot of review requests. However, once I realized the topic of his book, I was all in. My husband and I had just talked about our finances, and we were both ready for things to change. As much as I enjoyed learning how to write cursive and how the Dewey decimal system works, I would argue that knowing how to earn, save, and manage money is essential to almost every human-as important as any subject we learn in school. Yet most of us have received little to no financial education. (emphasis mine) Having read a few books on financial freedom, I wondered if Lotich had anything new to bring to the table. I was pleasantly surprised at his writing style. It is more of a conversation style, making Simple Money, Rich Life easy to read. It captured my attention from the beginning. I immediately started highlighting notes in the introduction. The introduction explains what the book is and what it is not. Earn all you can. Save all you can. Give all you can. Enjoy it all. Lotich introduces the reader to the "simple formula" and then walks us through each step. He includes stories from his life and his friend's lives and things he's learned from books he has read. It keeps the book more interesting, having these stories interspersed and less academic. I believe the most destructive result of this experiment is far more subtle: the belief that debt is normal. (Lotich's emphasis). Lotich includes a 21-day kick-start challenge to encourage the reader to apply what they are learning. It is broken down into five challenges, so it is not overwhelming. This is a book to be read and applied, not rushed, to get the full benefit. This is a Christian book, yet the principles that Lotich introduces are beneficial to all. If reading a "Christian" book is something you prefer not to do, you can skim or skip certain parts (like the chapter on taking a Sabbath rest). Doing so will not detract from the overall benefits of this book. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a better financial situation. The principles make sense and will work if you are willing to do what needs to be done. Thank you to the author for the opportunity to review this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Enlightening and Pragmatic
Bob Lotich shares his story of strength, hope, and faith. Going through this book, readers will respect the author’s work and the lessons that he shares. Bob Lotich lays bare his journey with finances and, in a free-flowing manner, gives direction on how to achieve financial freedom with the resources you have. I respect that the author does not sell a fantasy tale about money-making. Instead, shares his secrets to success and what has worked for him, giving real-life examples of people who have made it without being given a head start. The primary lesson you get from this book is that you do not have to come from money to be wealthy. Instead, money attracts those that are hungry enough for it. Simple Money, Rich Life is the book you did not know you needed until you read it. Bob Lotich writes about finances, making money, and how the path you take affects your financial outcome and eventually your lifestyle. In his book, Bob Lotich starts by discussing his relationship with God. The first chapter is titled ‘The Battle is His, But You Have to Show Up.’ A befitting title for the content inside the chapter. In this chapter, you learn how crucial money is in every setting, how draining having a debt can be, and its impact on your life. I love that the author introduced the religious aspect of things, as it gives readers faith and hopes to trust in God. Reading Bob Lotich’s book gives readers a sense of realization. His relationship with God is amazing, and his perspective of life is fascinating. Lotich’s words are intriguing and inspire one to take the straight path. Throughout the book, you see the importance of religion as it has been a pillar to the author and his wife and helped him get back up. By the end of the reading, you feel fulfilled spiritually, financially, and socially. Bob Lotich’s book will enable you to mold yourself to the best version. The author’s gentle words, courteous phrases, and valuable advice are worthwhile. The five critical pieces of advice I have taken from the book are budgeting and having a solid spending structure, debt management, your relationship with God, the significance of family, and making the best financial decisions. I like that the author extensively writes about saving and expounds on how you can save and still enjoy the good things in life. Bob Lotich is pragmatic, making his work stand out; he does not sell illusions. Simple Money, Rich Life is a financial self-help book for those that want to approach financial security through faith and evidence-based methods. Readers will walk away from this educational book with renewed faith and a feeling that they, too, can reach a stable financial life.
