• “Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination”.
• The importance of money can never be shadowed with unrealistic moral preaching as it is a mean to survival, however mere survival in the lightning fast 21st century is not sufficient as the dynamism of life must offer an insight to the financial world and the book at hand does the same. Further, the 272 pages long book at hand uses a rather simple and inclusive approach in order to explain the true nature of finance and offers keen insight to all of our questions. The book tends to follow a simpler form of presentation in the form of usage of case studies and data, thereby engaging their cognitive abilities to a reasonable extent thereby making them aware as to the actual contents of the book. The chapters have been arranged in a holistic manner throughout.
• Thus, this book is a must read for anyone willing to go for a good and insightful read.

This book is an easy and informative read - lots of gems on the basics of investing, managing money and wealth creation, minus the complexity of financial jargon one often sees in personal finance guides. It's relatable and very easily digestible for the readers.

But, jargons spin across leaving the gaps to the patterns of "understandablilty of the concepts."
This book talks about finances and investments in a very simple, witty and a fun way for the readers to grasp the basic ideology.
Let me give you the crux -
😯5 Ws -
'What' Saving Instruments to choose from?
'Where' should you not drain hard earned savings in?
'Why' factors that seeks clarity why this and not that instrument?
'Which'- Financial institutions are safe & best?
'When' is the ideal age of your life to begin savings?
☝️One most imp question to ask yourself -
'How' should I navigate my investment to meet all the financial goals of life?"
The charts and numbers provide comprehensive explanations of day-to-day financial concepts which are generally complex and confusing.
If you are looking forward to read a simplified conceptualization of financial elements, and you don't wanna get into the technicalities of financial literature, 💰this book awaits you!

Found this book a pretty good primer in explaining a lot of things that can be beneficial to a salaried employee who is between 30-40 or even younger who has started earning. It also convinced me that some decisions which I had taken early in my career were rather good. It also gave me insights about what can I do now to secure the next 20-30 years. If one has a family to support, this book does cover whatever options are available at this point at our disposal. It's a good reference for anyone who wants to learn personal finance quickly and start taking it seriously.
