Summary: If you have a pulse, you should read this.
Review: My dad made me read this book when I was 12 years old, and I loved it. I made a presentation of the information to my high-school English class, using the 7 principles. I don't think any of them got it, including the teacher. I have given tons of copies of this book to friends in bad financial shape over the years. Those that GET IT, benefit. The rest, oh well. I read this book about once a year for the past 20 years, and it has helped me tremendously. This should be mandatory high school reading.

Summary: Common sense - great book for reminding the importanc
Review: This is a good short book - short stories / examples of what's important in order to be financially successful. Everything in the book is common sense and nothing new to most readers. However, I enjoyed some of the simple short stories pertaining to the 'laws'. "save 10% of everything you earn". This is something that most everyone already knows, but not everyone is disciplined enough to practice on a consistent basis.
This is a good review of what we all need to practice in order to be financially independent.
