5.0 out of 5 stars Read This Book Now!, June 24, 2003

This review is from: How to Get Rich and Stay Rich (Paperback)

A more accurate title for this book might be "Prudent Financial Management: How to Feel Good About Yourself When You Reach 50." Please read it all the way to the end (a mere 180 pages) before passing judgment on its values or wisdom.

This is the insider advice that a shrewd, experienced, brutally honest, and wealthy grandfather would give to his favorite grandchild upon graduation from college. I wish someone had explained all this to me when I was 22 or 25 or 30.

Now that I am well passed 50, I recommend this book to you in the hope it will contribute to the happiness of your life. Read it now; read it ten years from now and every decade following. You will appreciate its good sense more and more as years pass.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good book with a poor title., October 5, 2005

I still have the paper back copy of this book that I bought back in 1989. Its pages are worn from being read over and over.
The advice given in this book is good, common sense investing advice that will stand the test of time. The only times I have gotten in trouble with my investments is when I failed to follow his advice. Thanks in part to this book I was able to retire back in 1996 at the age of 56. I'm still retired and enjoying it. Two other books that helped me were "Work Less & Play More" by Steven Catlin and "Cashing in on the American Dream" by Paul Terhorst.

I read this book on vacation some years ago. It is very good, very folksy and commonsense. Written by a man in the trust department of the Harris Bank. He got the opportunity to interact and dispense advice to people who had made large sums of money already.
