"The Talk" (about money): A Young Adult's Guide to the ONE DECISION That Changes Everything

Dale’s advice and wisdom in this book is sound and life changing. It makes a great graduation gift for high school and college students. Also, it’s a great way to reset later in life and make better money decisions moving towards retirement. Highly recommend!

Bought three of these for my children (26,21,18) to read as they begin their adult journey. I took the opportunity to read this myself so that I could be prepared for the questions. What a refreshing look it gave me on my own retirement path.What great advice to people of all ages.Thank you Dale for making this so simple to understand and follow.

“This book helped me understand that what my parents are teaching me is accurate. I hope that many other kids like me read this book and understand it as well as I did.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Andrew (age 10, 5th grade)

Great teaching tool

If you’re looking for a better understanding of how money impacts, self-worth, outlook on the world, personal limitations and the trajectory of your life, read Dale Alexander's The Talk now. There are many graphs and equations in the book about finances and money displaying the different paths to success and wealth, and these real-world examples make for a fascinating read. If you want to learn more about money and those around you, this book will be a great investment in your success. From one Author to another I confidently say this book has powerful information that will begin transforming your life moving forward.

Most of us leave school, get a "real world" job, and then proceed to make financial decisions with little or no practical advice. Dale Alexander's The Talk is a book I wish I had been given the year I left college. The Talk provides easy to understand guidance that will put a young person on the path to financial well-being. We hear so much about "financial wellness services" and stress management these days but those services are in the category of treating a problem - this book provides guidance on prevention of financial issues, which is exactly what young adults need.This book deserves to be in every school and public library in the country. It is an essential reference!The Talk is a treasure for parents and grandparents to share with their loved ones.

This should be a required book in every high school in America! Unfortunately in school, they don’t teach you the importance of money and how each and every decision you make with it will effect you for the rest of your life. I was lucky enough to get the chance to listen to Dale’s “talk about money” and it put a whole new perspective on the way I view my money and what I SHOULD be doing with it. I recommend everyone read this book but especially the kids that are graduating high school/college that are about to join the “real world”.

“The Talk” should be required reading for all high school graduates. Any young person starting out, should be armed with this valuable information. I only wish my own children had had the advantage of learning these principles earlier in their lives. The ideas and strategies presented in Dale’s book can make the difference between living financially stressed to living financially successful. Buy extra copies and give it to all the graduates you know! They will thank you for it!

I just have to say that I was skeptical on this controller with the mixed reviews but after trying it I can see that most of the bad comments where from purist that wanted a genuine 1/1 replica of a Gamecube controller which its not.Whit that being said, what you actually get is a pro controller shaped like a Gamecube controller with the trigger situation fixed. I have tested the Control stick in the calibration screen and yes it does stick to axis in the first 15-20% of the stick but anything beyond is just as a regular stick. I can see this Maybe being an issue in some other games then smash but In smash I can say that I can Up B with pikachu in any directions without issue.If you want a pro controller, by any means just get one !If you want an original Gamecube controller well guess what even the reissues are not the same.If you would like a Gamecube controller for smash ultimate, Get the one by nintendo.For anyone trying to find a pro controller with octogonal gates on the analogue and digital trigger, I strongly recommend this controller.

I play Super Smash Bros a lot, and I typically use a Nintendo Pro Controller, but one time Capt. Falcon beat me and I didn't even get a hit on him, so I raged HARD and launched that controller at the floor and it literally exploded, so I had to find a cheap replacement. So I bought this. And then I lost approximately 23 matches in a row, because I just couldn't get used to the buttons. So I raged again and smashed it and it exploded even faster and into more bits than the Pro Controller. At least the Pro Controller took like 4 or 5 launches before it was completely destroyed. Not this one though; it was destroyed on the very first rage launch. Cheap material; do not recommend.

The media could not be loaded.  EDIT: I got a new controller which functions perfectly, thanks to great customer service, please keep in mind that my new controller has 0 of the major flaws and all the good points.Does not function in game, neither the right joystick, or the A button worked in Smash Bros Ultimate, and that's if I could even get in game due to the left joystick registering a right input 24/7, making it impossible to even get to the game on the home menu. It's made from a mediocre plastic at best, but not that cheap stuff. Buttons felt alright, a bit shallower then the original ones, but still decent, triggers are reversed (ZR and R are in opposite places, likewise with ZL and L) but they worked fine. (Unlike everything else) While I wanted to exchange my Hori(ble) for another functioning one, there was only a return option available, and guess what?! I have to pay return shipping on a defective item from the looks of it. Would recommend just getting a powerA controller, or really anything actually usable. Hopefully this is a one off case, but this was a disaster of a controller. 0.5 stars, due to being practically unusable, but half a star for build quality.

Actually comfortable and pretty much no difference between using the Gamecube controller and this one (except it has the buttons and basic functions of the Switch Pro controller (like the Zl and ZR buttons and +/- and Home buttons) with the turbo mode MINUS NFC and Gyro controls but that is to be expected at this price). Grip feels textured and good to my hands (although it may feel a bit rough at first but when you palm it, you barely notice it). Latency is none existent when playing Smash Bros and it works flawlessly on my PC and Steam recognized it as a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and it was basically plug and play.Overall, solid controller and a great alternative to the original Gamecube Controller, with a few new perks.

ive seen reviews about the calibration being off on diagonals but checking on the calibration screen on the switch theres no such thing and the sticks are perfectly responsive, other than that the D-pad is too squishy (not clicky), from that u get whats advertised, zL zR buttons, direct USB connection, no rumble or triggers, but i expected all of these things, and it functions perfectly on all devices+another great thing i recently discovered is the ability to swap the L/ZL and R/ZR buttons, simply hold zL+zR while plugging in the controller and your set! That combined with the Turbo function (which i didnt expect to be so useful, but turned out using it quite often) makes this one of my favorite input devices.

Note:-THIS IS A USB CONNECTED CONTROLLER. Not the standard Gamecube port that needs the adapter. Careful picking when used on the switch. Using the switch stand, it has 3 usb ports. 2 on the side and one on the back.-Have to Z buttons and L and R as they are switched.Thoughts:-Favorite part is the L and R buttons. They are not the springy buttons of the gamecube controllers but actual normal buttons. Also Z button is not the tough button but just a normal button (two, one on each side). . Feel VERY nice-The strange gripping on both sides does feel weird at first but I do feel i have more grip overall.-Has not broken after intense playing as of yet. (Will update otherwise) Bought Apr 6.-Strange but nice lightness compared to the originalI do believe these controllers are better then the $15 cheap controllers that break within 1-30 days(experience) and definitely worth compared to the overpriced official Nintendo controllers.

I had seen these controllers at my local EB Games and ended up buying the Legend of Zelda version just to try it out when playing Smash. I ended up totally loving it over the standard switch controllers! It’s super nostalgic and functions just like the traditional game cube controllers. In a way, it makes the game feel easier to play if you also grew up playing the Smash on the GameCube like I did. However, i could never find the Peach version of the controller in stores, so I turned to amazon to try and find it. I ended up wanting the Peach version just because I’m a sucker for the colour pink. I still love it just as much as my Legend of Zelda version and they function exactly the same. Highly recommend buying this!

My college aged daughter started the 70/20/10 principle after reading this book. I personality could not be prouder that she chose to adopt this foundation so early in her life. I even told her that her Dad and I will match her savings while she attends college. Thanks Dale. I guess that was your suggestion :}The book is fantastic. I have had the privilege to hear the author speak several times on this topic. His excitement of the material is contagious and he even has a plan for you to start saving too! Get the book! It is a quick easy to understand read that won't disappoint.
