Morris starts with the basics of saving and paying off debts and the types of debts to avoid, explaining the ins and outs of every process. Eventually, he leads you to financial investments and opportunities that many think only the rich can consider, like investing in stocks, real estate, and business. With clear examples and in-depth explanations, Level Up! takes you on a journey to financial freedom. He guides you to reach your ultimate financial goals no matter where you are in your journey. Level Up! is for everyone, no matter the stage of your financial journey. Morris keeps the financial jargon to a minimum; where unavoidable, he gives clear definitions, explanations, and simple examples to put in context.

Level Up! by Keenan Morris is a transparent and resourceful financial guide that I found deeply thoughtful. I often read books and articles on financial guidance and usually feel left in the dark. But Morris focuses on clarity and simplicity, staying true to his promise initially that this book is for everyone on their financial journey, not necessarily someone who already has it all figured out. It’s for the single mom, the dad working two jobs, and the fresh-out-of-college student drowning in debt. Additional resources at the end of the book include a glossary explaining financial terms and a list of books for further reading. Anyone from any walk of life will be able to relate to the content shared in this book, even experienced investors, as everyone can learn how to level up. I love the gaming analogy, which intrigued me from start to finish.

He provides strategies and tools to overcome them, the appropriate time to quit, and when to continue.

Keenan Morris uses video game analogies to explain the different levels that will enable readers to achieve financial competence and freedom. The videos complemented the discussions and made my reading experience fun and exciting. The author also shares short stories to provide a deeper understanding of financial concepts. Some of the examples apply to any financial setbacks that investors may face. There are also interview questions that will help readers evaluate their current financial status and apply the strategies and tools discussed to achieve financial freedom. The reference list and recommended texts provided at the end will enable readers to conduct further research concerning any topic of interest. I recommend Level Up! to those interested in upgrading their knowledge concerning managing and creating more money for a better future.
