Reviews

[April · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this in my early 20's to start investing my money wisely. It's been so long since I last read it and I'm sure there are updated ways to think about money, so not sure how relevant this book is today. But it was definitely helpful back in 2003.

Solid personal finance advice. The best ideas are contained in the first three chapters. Treat your personal finances like a charitable foundation and you can afford to run indefinitely.

I would consider this largely a theory based book though it did help me to make a few financial changes to meet goals. And the informal writing style made it easy to read.
