Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Jim and Rich Jorgensen, father and son co-hosts of the radio show The Jorgensens on Money, offer a straightforward, no-frills way to save money with It's Never Too Late to Get Rich: The Nine Secrets to Building a Nest Egg. They show how a few modest steps-e.g., brown bagging lunch once a week; renting a video instead of going to a movie-can help save hundreds of dollars. They also advise investors to pick a stock or mutual fund and keep their money there until they need it, regardless of the market's turbulence. Inexperienced investors and people nervous about handling money will find this primer helpful. But while the tax and retirement sections are updated and there's new material on choosing financial planners, the book is otherwise practically identical to the edition originally published in 1994.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK! Understandable, humorous, practical, February 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: It's Never Too Late to Get Rich: The Nine Secrets to Building a Nest Egg at Any Age (Paperback)

This book really helped me to bring my financial house back in order after suffering some tremendous stock market losses in the past 3 years. After reading this book, I have new confidence on how I can move forward without risking my assets. There was other great information as well on reducing taxes and preparing for retirement. I have listened to Jim and Rich on the radio for years and they know what they are talking about. I would recommend it to everyone. It's really good information.

Sara and I have struggled with financial planning particularly as a result of the recent market turmoil. The Jorgensens' book has served as a much needed guide to managing our money. It emphasizes the basics and is understandable. Unlike other investment books which fail to encompass the whole picture, this book is complete and thorough. We would recommend it to anyone interested in taking a proactive role in managing their money.
