What’s Make Epic Money About?

Make Epic Money brings a level of simplicity and relatability in personal finance that makes it accessible to readers, particularly those just beginning their financial journey. What sets it apart is the Indian context and his knack for simplifying complex ideas.

The book is divided into three main sections: building a money mindset, understanding financial concepts, and growing your savings. The focus is not just on theory but also on giving readers concrete action plans, templates, and worksheets to follow.

What Works?

One of the most notable aspects of Make Epic Money is its simplicity. Warikoo doesn't drown readers in jargon or abstract financial theories. Instead, he provides practical advice and easy-to-follow strategies. The short chapters and conversational tone make the book easy to digest, even for those who may not be financially savvy.

Also, Warikoo provided templates and thumb rules to help you manage your finances more effectively. Make Epic Money speaks directly to Indian readers, addressing financial habits, market conditions, and cultural nuances specific to India.

What Falls Short?

While the book is well-suited for beginners, it doesn’t offer much in the way of fresh insights for those who’ve read other personal finance books. A lot of the advice, such as saving more than you spend, avoiding unnecessary liabilities, and creating an emergency fund, has been repeated in countless other finance guides.

Also, it sometimes lacks depth. Warikoo doesn’t delve into investment strategies or more advanced financial techniques that could be useful for readers who are past the initial stages of their financial journey.

Who Should Read It?

Make Epic Money is an ideal read for those who are new to personal finance, particularly young adults or individuals who’ve struggled to manage their money. If you’re someone who finds most finance books too dense or overwhelming, Warikoo’s straightforward approach will be a breath of fresh air.

Final Thoughts

Make Epic Money doesn’t revolutionize personal finance, but it does provide a simple, relatable roadmap for those looking to take control of their finances. Warikoo’s conversational style and actionable advice make it a great starting point for those new to managing money. It’s an easy, light read that packs in useful tools, especially for those in the Indian market.
