5.0 out of 5 stars Best investment, March 14, 2004
By 
Hizon "Jerry" (Makati Philippines) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
The book lays out in simple, easy-to-understand terms, the ways you achieve wealth. The writing is not preachy nor circuitous like Rich Dad, Poor Dad. What we have here is a clear, easy-to-follow roadmap to financial independence. There are loads of insights and mind-opening concepts here, so I recommend buying this book. It's money well spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great general introduction to wealth building & investing., September 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Rich (Paperback)
Before I picked this book up I was indeed an idiot. Now I'm ... well, much much less of an idiot. Filled with definitions and anecdotes, this book explains how different types of investments work. Most helpful, however, are the very basic characteristics needed to become wealthy. Rather than focusing on complex descriptions of portfolios or giving a run-down of "hot" stock tips, the author delivers sound practical advice like "cut down your spending and save as much as you can." I also liked that it was not just a "beginner's" book, but provides tips for everyone from young adults to millionaires on how to build and safeguard wealth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bad cover, Great book!, May 26, 2002
By A Customer
I have to carry this in a brown bag so no one will see me reading an Idiot's book. But it's worth the embarrassment if someone does see it on my bookshelf- this is a great book on accumulating wealth for beginners. It has an easy to-read-format and gives sensible advice for people of any income level. Whether you have $50 a month to invest or a fortune, you can probably find some good tips in here. I am not a wealthy person, just someone trying to learn how better manage what I have invested and trying not to make any big mistakes. Tips include saving and investing knowledge, as well as how to start a business and how to cultivate the right attitude and habits for success.
