Rating: Summary: Uplifting Review: I first picked up this book a couple of years ago when I was employed as a stock broking analyst in Kuala Lumpur. I was making excellent money but was chafing from the shackles of a job I had begun to hate. I found Clason's book tucked away in a corner of a bookshop near the office. Even though I was making more money than ever before, my expenses were going through the roof. The book helped me get my feet back on the ground. If you need help in finances, buy it. I reread it every six months.
Rating: Summary: Read ye this book, and make thy gold multiply! Review: Written as a parable, Clason captures the essence of personal finance in a way seldom (never) seen before. To read this book is to understand the principles of compound interest, financial planning and personal wealth. Even if you never read another "financial" book again, the principles found in this little tale would last you a lifetime.
Rating: Summary: This is a great book Review: I read this book a few years back. The principals are sound, and straightforward.
Rating: Summary: As long as you use money, this book is a must. Review: This is an outstanding book about money management. The five laws of gold are magic laws that can prevent or even cure you from financial problems whatever your financial status are and lead you to a prosperous life thereafter. The ideas in this book are described in a story- talling style so it is easily understood and functionally adaptable to real life situations. As long as you use money, this book is a must. After you finish this book and apply its content to your life you will be, as I have experienced, endowed with the greatest gift from our ancestors.
Rating: Summary: Awesome! Review: This book is amazing and I recommend it to anyone. It only took me one night to finish. What's more
is the advice contained in the book is what I'll use for the rest of my life. In my opinion it's
worth far more than 5 bucks...
Rating: Summary: It speaks to the soul. Review: In our day of easy credit this book is needed.
It's amazing that it was first published so
long ago. It really made me think about what
was important and long term goals. I keep
re-reading this book and finding new things.
It is one of my all time favorites. Please!
Please give it to your teenagers to read.
Rating: Summary: Required Reading Review: I have just finished this book and I cannot believe what I just read. It has been the best financial advice that I have ever received. This book should be required reading for all high school students as they prepare for the working world. I would have been much better off now if I would have read this book then and applied these principles
Rating: Summary: Plan for your future by thinking long-term Review: I have read this book twice myself and have given copies as gifts to friends. This book reinforces the immense need to take a long-term view of financial planning. It simply encourages discipline and encouragement to develop and stick to a plan. At just a few dollars, this book may be the best investment I will find in my lifetime. Written in simple terms, the concepts are simple. Nevertheless, as time marches on, I believe greater percentages of our society are financially unprepared for the present, much less the future. This book could help anyone, at any income level, improve on their current financial situation
Rating: Summary: Best book on personal finance I have ever read Review: I have read this book 2 or 3 times, and always find something new to consider. In fact, I've given this book to both employees and peers who've complained to me about personal financial matters. Unfortunately, it seems the people for whom this book was intended rarely get the point of self-discipline. Nevertheless, it has been helpful to me to see in print confirmation of many of my personal beliefs about handling personal finance
