Rating: Summary: A Must Read! Review: Provocative, engaging and riveting are not normally words associated with a book on financial planning; however, I do not hesitate to use either one to describe this book. I was definitely not excited about financial planning until after reading the first edition of this book.Chilton continues to uses a narrative style using characters that just about anyone could relate to. The Wealthy Barber breaks the age-old mind-set that only the rich can be rich. An excellent primer, you can apply techniques in his book today to ensure a better tomorrow. He also encourages further exploration and learning in order for anyone to become wealthy. Whether you're an executive or a gas station attendant, given patience and a little fortitude, you too can be wealthy! I urge you, read this book!
Rating: Summary: A financial wealth of future inspiration and optimism. Review: The author couldn't make financial planning any more simple and realistic for one to achieve their financial goals. One can relate to the materials is because the author does such a good job at applying the financial concept to your normal everyday life. I was inspired by the advices he gives throughout the book. The book gives you an optimistic view that you can be financially successful just by applying his concept. I strongly believe this book is for anyone who wants to be financially wealthy
Rating: Summary: Easiest to understand book of personal finance, ever! Review: The Wealthy Barber is by far to easiest to understand and
most comprehensive book on personal finance on the market today. If I had to recommend only one book on this subject,
it would be this one.
Rating: Summary: Financial savviness told in story form. Review: The Wealthy Barber uses a story of a group of friends and their families listening to a working millionaire teach them how they can be rich like him. The millionaire is a barber (hence the title). Complex financial issues such as wills, taxes and stocks are covered in easy to understand language but in-depth. At the end of each chapter there is a summary of the basics of what was covered and the barber's suggestions for what to do. For example, the chapter on wills the barber suggests making out a will immediately before moving on to the next chapter. None of it has miraculous secrets but common sense that compounded over time (with interest) will reward you with tons o money because of your saving ability and financial savvy. I have been doing much better financially, sleeping sounder too, after following this book. No one would be in trouble if they offered this book as a course in high school and college
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Amazing Review: This book provides the common working class man a opportunity to smartly and efficiently save money and achieve financial independence. The book itself uses a story to convey its message, and is easily understandable and readable. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get ahead in life.
