Rating: Summary: Common Sense Review: A great little book for personal financial success
Rating: Summary: A must read little book for personal finance inspiration Review: A must read! It only takes but a few hours to read. Onething, you can not be annoyed by language like "thee". Itis a great inspirational book on personal finance and investing. I have recommended it to all my good friends. Enjoy it!!
Rating: Summary: Follow the principles in this book & you'll get rich! Review: Do you want to become finacially independent? If so I recommend two things...#1) Read "The Richest Man in Babylon" and follow the principles to a "T". I consider this book your "offense" to aquire riches; #2) Read "The Millionaire Next Door" and see how rich people spend their money. I consider this the "defense" for you to keep your aquired riches. There is no need for me to brag about how these two books have changed my life. They just have and they will for you as well. I give copies of these books to my friends for Christmas gifts. It is the best gift they could ever get. Read them and you'll know why! Good luck.
Rating: Summary: The first step to financial freedom. Review: Isn't it amazing how so many of us pay everybody but ourselves? This book turns that around. You learn to pay yourself first and then spend what's left. Before reading this great little book, I was a spender and was living paycheck to paycheck. This book turned my financial life around. Don't let the small size of this book fool you---it's loaded with powerful information. Two other must read books are "The Millionaire Next Door" and More Wealth Without Risk"
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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!
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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!
