Wealthy Barber has returned,
By
This review is from: The Wealthy Barber (Paperback)
I just finished the Wealthy Barber again...7 years later. Along with The Wealthy Barber Returns and can only say it was GREAT. I was a good saver during my high school years and managed to put myself through college. That continued after the entering the workforce, but i did need to use my RRSPs to buy my first house.Now 3 houses, 2 kids and a loving wife later, i was in desperate need of a financial Kick in the Butt. I regularly contribute to my company sponsored pension plan, but my insurance is insufficient and my dept load is out of control!!!! I have made an appt with my advisor to go over my needs and requirements and hopefully discuss some other vehicles to help me achieve my goals!!! Thanks david for 2 outstanding personal finance books for the masses

A First Personal Economics Lesson,
By Donald Mitchell "Jesus Loves You!" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Wealthy Barber: Everyone's Common-Sense Guide to Becoming Financially Independent (Hardcover)
About the time each person gets her or his first full-time permanent job, it would be helpful to be economically literate about what one's future economic needs and risks are, and the best ways to provide for them. Unfortunately, most people never get this lesson because no one around them knows the lesson to teach them. This book fills that void to help overcome the ignorance that can create stalled thinking.The great strength of this book is that it is both simple and thorough. Most books about personal economic issues are either simple and superficial or complex and thorough. I was impressed by how well the combination of simplicity and thoroughness was achieved. The book covers a wide range of subjects including what areas you need to save for, how much to save, what to do with the savings, how to protect yourself and your family from risks using insurance and wills, buying a home, reducing taxes, and handling retirement and children's education. That's a lot for one book. I am familiar with these subjects both as a trained lawyer and as someone who works with investments, and I found that the advice was accurate and up-to-date. The book was particularly good at telling you when you need to get professional help and when you don't. The format of the book is outstanding. Almost all of the action takes place in a barber shop, with ordinary people discussing ordinary issues that most of us have. The story keeps your interest, and the variety of characters gives you the ability to consider how different needs and preferences can affect the decisions that you make. Everyone will be able to relate to these characters. My recommendation would be to share this book with anyone you know when they take their first permanent job. Then follow through by sitting down with the person to share your own experiences, both your successes and not-so-successes to add even more perspective. That would be a great gift for you to give! Live long and prosper! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

AN AMAZING BOOK ABOUT HOW WEALTH IS BUILT,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Wealthy Barber: Everyone's Common-Sense Guide to Becoming Financially Independent (Hardcover)
David tells us in this book how to build wealth. The tip he gives us is this...for us to save money out of every pay check. He recommends saving 10% out of every pay check. This is a very good idea and i strongly recommend this idea. If for some reason you can't save 10% out of each pay check, then i think that any amount that you can save should be adaquate. Please remember that saving money is just a small tip of the ice berg. You must remember that once we save our money, then the next step is to invest this money. Money needs to be growing at all times. Were you invest your money will be up to you. I personally invest in the stock market. I would strongly recommend this book. It can put you on the right track to financinal success.

If you don't want to die poor, you'll read this book.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Wealthy Barber: Everyone's Common-Sense Guide to Becoming Financially Independent (Hardcover)
At the time this book was given to me (by my Father), I was a Research Analyst for a mutual fund company. I thought I knew all there was to know about investing....but boy, was I wrong.In addition to working in a financial field, I was also married and had children. Reading this book showed me in such a simplistic and entertaining manner, how incredibly EASY it is to build wealth no matter what your income level is. I also learned about wills, life insurance, and other things that I never gave any thought to, but reading the book gave me insight as to just how important these things are...not to me, but to my family. My father is a very intelligent individual and has great money-sense. He is 51 years old and has never paid a single dollar in interest on his credit cards ! Now that is someone who knows how to properly manage his money ! He himself said that this book is propbably the most important and eye-opening book he has ever read - and that's why he gave it to me as a gift. If you are someone who has always been leary of investing, have no plan for retirement, or have a family, then you MUST read this book. It is written in a story-book format and reads just like any novel. This is not a financial lingo, how-to-get-rich-quick type of book. The "story" WILL show you how to build wealth....slowly, so you will be able to retire in style, not having to worry about money. Do yourself a HUGE favor and read this book. I guarantee that you will not regret it. |
