Summary: Common sense knowledge
Review: First of all, if you don't like reading books written in shakesperian language (thou, thy, blah, blah) then stay away from this one!! If that does not bother you then this book is good enough....I guess. The book deals with common sense issues which every investor should posses. Since the book is cheap and tiny and one can finish it up in a matter of hours, I guess it is a decent purchase.

Summary: If I can do it.....anyone can! There's no excuse!
Review: This book was given to me 8 years ago. I'm a high school drop out and now have multiple degrees and just bought my first apartment building and looking forward to my next one! I've read this book over and over again and read it whenever I start to lose sight of my goals! It has great insight with simplicity! It works! I've shared it with those I love and it has brought great satisfaction to all who have read it!

Summary: An absolute must to attain financial freedom
Review: This little book shows you the most basic principles that make money work. This information is what you must understand if you are to be successful in getting free of debt and even being able to retire well before mandatory retirement age. With what you get from this beautiful story you can pretty much fashion any wealth building system around it and make it work. If I were only allowed to have two books on financial matters, they would have to be The Richest Man in Babylon and Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.

Summary: Best Gift you could give anyone of any age.
Review: Nine years ago a very wealthy man told me to read this book, thanks to him my husband and I are doing great financially. Five years ago I gave both of my sisters this book for graduation from college, today you can tell which one read it and which one didn't. Two weeks ago I gave a copy to my brother-in-law, who just went through a divorce and was left with a mountain of bills and three children. He thinks there is no light at the end. I gave him the book and said "When you are ready to start getting things back on track, read this it will help" I did not lecture him, did not say read it now. When he is ready the book will guide him to a level of understanding that you can't reach until you are ready to reach it. Today I am ordering several more books actually my father-in-law wants to read it and I know several people graduating from college, I can't think of a better gift.

Summary: Excellent advice for anyone wanting to make more money!!!
Review: This book is the best I've read since I've been at K-State. It gives simple advice that is so easy to do, it is amazing that it actually works. I've been follwing the advice for nearly 3 months, and have already set back a sizeable amount for investment.

Summary: Gently Focus on the Right Actions and Wealth Will Be Yours
Review: Handling your own finances is an important personal responsibility, but even Ph.D.'s receive no training in this subject. I found this book to be very helpful, especially for a younger person, and recommend it to all of my friends who seem to be poor at personal finance. Of course, if you work in an organization (and most people do), you can also use common sense advice about how to be more effective there, so that you have more time and energy to enjoy your personal life built on your wealth accumulated form following the advice of THE RICHEST MAN IN BABYLON. For a better work environment, the parallel book is THE 2,000 PRECENT SOLUTION. May your life be long and properous, and filled with joy!

Summary: The first bit of advice I give my clients is..read this book
Review: I am independent financial adviser in the United kingdom, I make it a practise of mine to give to each of my new clients a copy of this book. It helps them get control of their finances and steers them in the right direction in the future. It allows me to help them make the right decisions about there finances and enables them to get control of their budget end recognise money doesn't have to be spent for the sake of it. Every client admits that they wish they had read the book years before. They believe they would have been much better off, and regret the wasted time and money - yet it also leaves them feeling that now they have a way forward and rejoice in the knowledge that they have a plan and believe that their financial life will improve.As with my clients, I felt the same the first time I read it, and things have certainly improved for me

Summary: outstanding and people still don't do it !
Review: Well I finally invested in a copy of this book after putting it off until tomorrow, yada yada yada... I wished I had read it 10 years ago because it was an inspiration and so easy to read. I have started to follow the guidelines and it works,man does it work, it just goes to show that simple is the best. I wish this was compulsery reading in schools because the youth of today would benefit from this knowledge tomorrow.

Summary: The Principals for Financial Independence are Timeless
Review: I found this book fascinating in that the successful financial principles of 6000 years ago still apply today. With all the resources and technology my company and industry employs today it really struck me that it still starts with one making a fundamental decision to do the things that will result in reducing debt, protecting ones assets and income, and increasing same assets by investing responsibly and systematically. It's also fascinating to see that the entrepreneur made up as much of the wealthy one percent as they do today! This book is part of my clients and personal financial analyst trainees must read list!
