Seemingly obvious advice, but often overlooked The book is a quick and enjoyable read. A lot of the financial advice in this book seems pretty obvious, but many people have no concept of saving money, working hard, and living frugally. The book also mentions that you should invest your money under the advice of wiser men so that it is working for you.
Overall, the book delivered its message very clearly. I would also recommend it for teenagers, since it contains excellent principles to build a good financial mindset upon.
Concepts of wealth This book is a great, easy read for anyone looking to learn the main concepts of creating wealth.
Excellent I just finished this one. I think this is one of those little books I'll be referring to over and over again. Clason's book is one of those that you can read in an evening and remember most of the key ideas. You can put these principles to work in your life immediately. This is probably the best 6.99 you can spend.
Not much to think about...just do it. Here's the bottom line. This book is one of many books on principles on how to control your finances. If you can control what you eat, how much you exercise, what educational degree to go after, when you wake up, when you sleep, etc., there's no difference in deciding how much you spend and how much you save (must know for what purpose!). All you need to do is read this book along with all the other informational books out there and apply the principles as it fits your current situation. It doesn't matter how much you make. It's all about the "principle" and how to apply it. The part that many, like myself in the past, seem to overlook is that you need to control and detach yourself emotionally from money. If you can understand how much you make, when it is due you, and how much it takes to meet your minimum required needs (now come on, let's not be too greedy), then think, think, think, plan and execute and do it all over if you fail. I think it worked well for me because I took the "emotional" part out of the equation and handle money objectively. So did this book help? Definitely. Every ounce of education is worth a ton of happiness. I think it important to keep the perspective realistic but yet with a steadfast attitude without ignoring all the help that is out there. The book cost as much as, if not lesser, than a fast food plate. Why not get it instead of wasting on junk food?
my best book ever I bought this book at the recommendation of a friend who has practiced the wisdom in the book and prospered financially. It seems, to me, the best material on personal finance. I prefer it to some other books written by high profile authors that that i previously read. I wish I read the book earlier, but I am glad I finaly did. Though small and cheap it is a rich source of finacial wisdom. I read a library copy then bought a copy for personal reference. Highly reccommended.
