Plant Your Money Tree: A Guide to Growing Your Wealth

by Michele Schneider

Plant Your Money Tree offers readers a strategic and actionable way to look at their financial life with a completely new attitude of confidence, empowering them to make smart decisions

In clear and accessible language, Mish Schneider walks the reader through the six most essential sectors of the U.S. economy as seen through six market phases ---bullish, caution, distribution, bearish, recuperation, and accumulation. She illustrates how to easily recognize these phases, understand their interrelationships and explains to readers why they should care. Using a personal and conversational tone, Mish’s goal is to help anyone who believes the topic of the economy and growing wealth is beyond their comprehension by giving them the tools to make independent, informed decisions about their money. With that knowledge, readers will gain insight plus have practical, smart options for what to do with their finances. Mish holds the readers’ hands every step of the way with her welcoming and easy to understand language. Schneider does not endorse passive or buy-and-hold type investing. Rather, she teaches readers an evergreen methodology that adapts to every market scenario.

Reviews

[LAWonder10]

In, 'Plant Your Money Tree', author Michele Schneider, offers a concise, simple method of managing, and growing, ones financial matters.

Using simple chart graphs, she presents six phases of "tracking the stock market" and describes, plus, defines each one. She explains each one's importance and the affects they have in our lives. Additionally, it explains how this all affects ones 401k's and other savings.

Did you know, by understanding these things, one cane make an educated choice in a successful vocation, which classes it would be wise to take, when to buy and sell ones real estate and more? She points out warning signs and to connect with ones intuitions.

Her simple 50-200 system is simple enough for most to follow. The six phases assists one to know the best times to invest and the best times to move ones assets.

Although this is a simple system, clearly illustrated and written. I feel some who are more knowledgeable in science and mathematics would find this information more lucrative than right-brained individuals, such as I. It was slightly mind-boggling for me.

I offer a Three and a Half Stars rating.
I was gifted this book with no pressure for a positive review. This is my honest review.

Plant Your Money Tree: A Guide to Growing Your Wealth Gives Readers a Valuable Resource. Financial planning and investments are intimidating to many of us. My husband has a finance and economics background--so, I have tended to leave most of our financial planning responsibility to him. In recent years, however, I have realized that I should be/should have been more interested in learning more about the world of investing and financial markets. This book is a valuable resource to those new to the subject or those seeking to learn more. Written in a well structured, simple, easy to follow format--the book presents valuable information that can be used again and again as a financial planning resource.



Plant Your Money Tree: A Guide to Growing Your Wealth is easy to follow and easy to understand. The author does an excellent job breaking down some very complex topics into easy to understand chapters--with information that readers will be able to use and apply to their own lives and situations. While the book does not provide everything a reader needs to know about financial planning--the author offers a very well-drawn view that is relevant, easy to apply, and gives readers a launching point for further learning on the subject.



Would I Recommend Plant Your Money Tree by Michele Schneider? For readers seeking to learn about financial investing and planning--this book offers a lot of information presented in a conversational, easy to read format. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone who has avoided the subject because it is often overly-complicated or overwhelming! If you seek to understand more about financial markets, market phases, and planning--this is a well done, self-help book that you will want to refer to again and again after reading.

I received a copy of this book from the author or publisher for use in a blog review. All opinions are my own.

Plant Your Money Tree: A Guide to Growing Your Wealth is an informative read. I am now getting to the point in life that I need to learn more about financial strategies to prepare for my future. I am not very knowledgeable in this type of money matters and I get overwhelmed with the information out there. Even though I am interested in learning more about how to invest, I get intimidated and just do not follow through. This book breaks it down in easier terms that I am able to have a better understanding and I believe many others would think so, too.

Plant Your Money Tree: A Guide to Growing Your Wealth has seventeen chapters. The chapters are quite short and easy to follow. It provides quite a bit, but not overwhelmingly so, tips that almost any one could follow. Following the chapters, there is additional facts and references that would be useful. Which includes: a website listed that provides more data for free, a Quick Reference Guide, Six Key Terms Defined, Notes, Bibliography and Index.

Plant Your Money Tree: A Guide to Growing Your Wealth is getting four stars from me. I recommend it for readers who are seeking advice on investments, retirement and / or budgeting needs. I believe certain readers would be able to get a lot of needed information provided and find what they are looking for in this easy to use book.

I received Plant Your Money Tree: A Guide to Growing Your Wealth from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

[Angela Jew]

This book is practical. It's also accessible. In short, it's perfect for a beginner investor looking to make informed financial moves. You first learn about 6 crucial economic sectors and the macroeconomic implications of their performance. Next you learn a 6-phase framework to help time big life decision- making. You can use the phases in timing when to buy a house, invest in stocks, change careers - which makes this book not only practical and accessible, but also contextual and relevant!

With this book, you get as much as you put in. Sit down, take notes, as there's some simple technical chart interpretation that require mental processing in order to stick.

Overall I say it's a great read if you're a beginner investor looking for a practical, accessible, and relevant introductory guide to making more confident financial decisions.

[Kursad Albayraktaroglu]

This was an interesting and informative read; but I tend to believe that it would be more useful for younger investors with relatively little experience with the markets.

The author's observations and opinions on various stages of market activity were astute and mostly useful. I am not sure I am fully convinced that a full read of the market psychology is possible through the use of two moving averages; but the book offers a lot of useful heuristics for determining the overall mood of the market.

[Kayla]

Valuable insight into how to watch stocks to know when to invest and when to hold. I appreciated the collection of examples and explanations of the terminology commonly found in finances. The book is short, but helpful, even if it is a bit outdated

[Chris]

Active investing trash that focuses on timing and uses historical outcomes to predict the future. Like gamblers.

[Tiquila Mcneill]

It’s a decent introduction to understanding the phases of the stock market.

[Tammy]

This title aims to give readers confidence in planning their financial life. Advice on everything from when to change careers to when to buy a home, or expand your business is included in this book. She attempts to describe the U.S. economy and its six market phases and how you should invest - or not- for each one. The author uses accessible language and terms to describe finances but also assumes that the person is starting in a solid position and wants to learn how to invest rather than cautiously save. Basically, the reader has money and wants to earn more money, but needs information to know when to be brave and take a risk and when it would be foolish to take a risk.

Not as useful for my smaller income situation as I had hoped.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

For the most part, investing money is over my head. I guess I always feel I will invest in the wrong thing. So this book looked interesting and I wanted to see what it is all about. I wish I’d had this many years ago. Author Michele Schneider does an excellent job of explaining the six most essential sectors of the U.S. economy as seen through six market phases —bullish, caution, distribution, bearish, recuperation, and accumulation. This was kinda Greek to me until I actually slowly broke it down and very slowly went over it many times. I still don’t understand it fully, but I know much more than I did. Figure I will give it to my son, he’s wanting to better understand the market. There is a wealth of information in this book. There is no way you can grasp it all just by reading through the book one time. This takes studying the book good time. I would suggest picking the information you want to learn first, depending on your knowledge, and going from there.

I am really glad to get my hands on a book such as this. It is a resource book that will stay in our family. The book cover is attractive enough to be on a coffee table for a discussion opener! If investing of any kind is something you have wanted to know more about, pick up a copy of Plant Your Money Tree: A Guide to Growing Your Wealth. I think you will find it most helpful! This book is a 5 stars for me.

A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am including this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
