This book is excellent and gives you insight into many essential financing for your money. Great for beginners wanting to gain some insights. However, if you already know the basics of how to save your money, like investing in the stock market, mutual funds, index funds, RRSP, and how TFSA works, it is not for you.
On a side note, the short chapters and humour in this book are what kept me reading this book.

I bought this not knowing these was a first book to this. Maybe read the first one first but overall was an easy read. One section gets into nitty-gritty about interest rates and there's where I started losing interest because it was a little over my head but one for 1-2 chapters. The rest was great. Lots of references to his experience working with real-life clients and great examples.

This is one of the most important books I have ever read. It started me on a journey of financial literacy that has changed my entire relationship with money.
The teachings are sensible, easy to grasp, and presented in a format that never gets dull. Furthermore, the book is mercifully free of get-rich-quick promises or the vapid, pep-talk rhetoric of scammy books like Rich Dad Poor Dad. This is real advice written by a man who cares about the subject and really seems to care about the financial health of the little guys. Buy a copy for yourself and for your children.

This book was so good. Learned so much from this book and had to share a lot of these insight with people I care about. I'm so glad I came across this book. My biggest regret is not knowing about this book sooner. This book is huge for people who are new to investing. I am absolutely going to be investing in RRSPs and TFSA now. I'm already behind, but better late then never. You will not regret reading this book. It's a great read with lots of humor. That's stats are staggering. Also, felt so good reading a book that's for Canadians!
Can't recommend this book enough. Thanks David Chilton, I'm going to watch Dragon Den reruns and look for you on there :)

It was for my son(16year old). it is simple to read as the chapters are 2 to 4 pages. So it is a bit easier to digest all that information.

First of all not sure what was up with the packaging. I had these pink rubber on the edges of the book, but fine no big deal. Regarding the reading material, it's a nice introduction to personal finance, but you definitely need other books to supplement when it comes to investing. Maybe that's done intentionally to make the book as simple and friendly as possible for people who want to dip their toes into budgeting and saving, but this along with the humour that (in my opinion) was a bit too much at times, left more to desire. It's a shame that it's also not available for Kindle.

Good introduction to personal finance but doesn't scratch the surface when it comes to investing

This is a great book. It is a succession of short chapters focusing on a variety of subjects related to/important for personal finance. It covers the basics but also drives deeper into some complex topics. The design is very different from the original Wealthy Barber (no story line, characters, etc.). Highlights for me were the different chapters discussing real estate/home ownership and mortgages, the real numbers looking at real estate as an investment vs other possible ways to invest your money, and the "couch potato" approach to investing including ETFs. Sometimes I was left wanting more, but realizing that almost everything that needed to be said was already written concisely in 2-3 pages. This is an important feature of the book (and its author): it doesn't promise to deliver great returns (as its acutely evident watching current events that nobody can promise this), it rather explains sound strategies to limit risk and unnecessary spending. Not too sexy but very effective. Now if it was only available as an electronic version...

Great for beginners

I have 6 kids (all teenagers lord help me), so I am having them read this to explain the importance of personal finance. The book is well written and puts everything in perspective at a level a high school age person can understand. I was fortunate enough to have read the first edition when I was in my mid 20's and have implemented the practices laid out in this book and feel very secure with my retirement plans. It is written with a storyline format so it is much easier to read than some of the other books out there.
I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to understand a straight forward approach to preparing for retirement. The book covers 401K investments and strategies, real-estate investment basics, life insurance basic rules of thumb, and few other basics for planning a financially secure retirement.

I read and loved the first Wealthy Barber years ago and was excited for this new one to be delivered. Although some chapters are written specifically for Canadians, I found the book to be an invaluable read (I am an American). It is packed with sound financial and life planning information and David's writing style had me laughing many times. I finished this book in one day and have since bought copies for my college aged children and a few friends. The sooner you read this the book the better.

like the futility of load mutual funds and high overhead ...
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2017Verified Purchase
It's cute and corrects outdated aspects of the original 1998 The Wealthy Barber, like the futility of load mutual funds and high overhead investment vehicles in general, adjustments for low interest rate environment, etc. but is sort of a list-of-topics format as opposed to the original which was an engaging story. The information is good and the author's writing ability, modesty and self deprecating sense of humor have not diminished but the book does not captivate like the original. 4 stars because the original was so 5 stars. Better an updated version of the original.
