This was hands down the best and most practical book on finance I have ever read.
Rich Dad Poor Dad gives excellent reason and motivation for why you should invest, and how to have the ‘rich mindset’, but this book teaches you the exact tangible strategies to become rich.
The retirement strategies, principles, and methods taught in this book are incredibly useful for those looking to retire wealthily, or even to just build up money throughout their lives for shorter term goals. This is not a book about personal finance as much as it is about basic investing strategies. It is the book that will help you bridge the gap between being a person with good personal finance knowledge, saving, and budgeting habits to being an investor.
Strongly recommend this to anybody who wants to get a basic understanding of investing, and be able to retire well.
