A friend recommended this. It had some good advice and some that seemed a little dated (and some that is about 30 years too late). It had some good and practical tips so was worth my time.

Basic, could have been summarized in one sentence: automate savings each month to avoid wasting your money. A lot of details about American 401Ks and similar accounts, which is not very useful to European listeners.

Essentially: pay yourself i.e. save and invest first by using automatic payments. The rest of the book is savings math, success stories and summary information about IRAs and other types of investments.

It's a beginner-intermediate level personal finance book. Taking it into that context it is a great book to read and a philosophy I followed before reading it. Recommended for those learning about managing money.

There are so many recommendations about how to manage your money and invest it in housing, and set up retirement or IRA funds. It's a book that I could probably revisit in the future. And to be completely honest, I am not the best at financing, which is the very reason why I decided to read this book in the first place. So I think it's a really good book to start with, then go delve deeper into the subject with other books on the topic.

Interesting stories. Practical method and calculation.
Practical advices and tools to use.
Again, what readers need to remember is saving their money. And hide it from yourself.

Simple easy to read with straightforward concepts. I have applied many of these myself and working on doing more as a couple. I also learned about a new method for charity giving that I plan to look into further. Great advice for anyone looking for an easy solution to save more and retire sooner!
