This book is not worth the hype at all. There's nothing new in it except for the "Latte Factor" thing. There is a ton of shit about real estate being great, but hey - it was written in 2005 ;) We know better now that we saw what happened in late 2008 and after that.

The other thing is that just like a lot of the other finance/investment books the majority of the stuff is only applicable in the US.

And very useful, fairly short finance book. Definitely recommended, will only take a few hours to read but gives some solid points and strong ideas

simple ideas you already know but puts them into easy actionable steps that aren't overwhelming

Must read for all ages!!

Being about 5-7 years from retirement (hopefully) I wasn’t sure if this book would have much value to me. While I consider myself to be fairly informed on basic savings and retirement planning, I found the book to be very informative, reminding me of things that I had never done and forgotten or known but not implemented. It helped me to revise and improve my plan by deliberately targeting increasing my savings and paying down my mortgage more quickly. I have gotten a copy of the book for my daughter and am recommending it to family members and anybody else looking to improve their retirement strategy and become an automatic millionaire. Quick read that is interesting and informative with simple ideas that anybody can use!
